I don't get these guys like Theshamen and The Admiral who insist that because he refused to leave his seat the airline didn't breach their contract.

There's just no logic there...


From UA's contract of carriage

UA shall have the right to refuse to transport or shall have the right to remove from the aircraft at any point, any Passenger for the following reasons:

C. Force Majeure and Other Unforeseeable Conditions – Whenever such action is necessary or advisable by reason of weather or other conditions beyond UA’s control including, but not limited to, acts of God, force majeure, strikes, civil commotions, embargoes, wars, hostilities, terrorist activities, or disturbances, whether actual, threatened, or reported.



Earlier in the contract of carriage UA's definition of force majeure includes


c.Any governmental regulation, demand or requirement;
d.Any shortage of labor, fuel, or facilities of UA or others;



Now given that Dao was bumped to ferry employees to solve a shortage of labor caused by a government regulation about time between flights.

I'd say they are comfortably within their contract.
