Well you go fly United, I'll take my business elsewhere like most other people will. There's your market competition.
Yeah, that's how the free market works. I'm glad you understand that. I was making the point that having options is a good thing. Competition improves the market. You're agreeing with me in an attempt to refute what I said.

If you lease an apartment, can the owner come to your house one day, and tell you that you have to get out of the apartment immediately and either can't ever return or can't return for a certain period of time?
Depends on the terms of the lease agreement. But there's also eviction laws that state the legal reasons that a landlord can evict you for and the required notice time. Apples and oranges compared to being bumped from a flight

Yeah except this flight wasn't overbooked it was fully booked and that is a huge difference. Guy is going to get paid because United violated regulations and I think they know they did. That would explain the CEO's change in tone yesterday afternoon.

So you signed a contract where that gave you priveleges per contract to stay on someone else's property- and that contract protected you in case the landlord decided to boot you out for a BS reason, right?

You keep saying this. Many of your normal constitutional rights are waived when you fly. I was partly joking before, but the Patriot Act made it illegal to not comply on an airplane.
people kissing on plane face terrorism charges
It gives them almost unlimited authority

To lawful commands. You think a judge would rule this lawful when he has a valid contract that he hasn't breached?

Leases are almost always contracts that protect the owner, not the renter. But yes, the lease should outline the conditions that either party could terminate the lease under. However, there's also legal eviction process if you're being involuntarily asked to move out of an apartment and the tenant and a legal required length of notice for an eviction. None of that is applicable in a carriage contract for an airline flight ticket

We do know, UA said the flight was full, not overbooked.
Since the seats needed were for employees that needed to be on it, it was technically overbooked and not full. Those employees had precedent. I know United said it was just full.
Chicago is a major United base where they keep reserve staff. They bump passengers on full flights all the time for staffing issues. They are compensated for it.
The only difference here was a passenger was already seated. Boarding wasn't complete because the final manifest wasn't finalize and given to the captain/FO.
Yall went all night on this

That's true. So what part of the contract that the airline and passenger signed did the passenger break to cause him to be forcibly removed?

For the fourth time here...
quote:
United spokesman Jonathan Guerin said Tuesday that all 70 seats on United Express Flight 3411 were filled, but the plane was not overbooked as the airline previously reported. Instead, United and regional affiliate Republic Airlines, which operated the flight, selected four passengers to be removed to accommodate crew members needed in Louisville the next day.

Why is an apartment lease and an airline ticket apples and oranges? Man, if you can't figure that out then there's little I can do to help you.
One involves a long term agreement to occupy a piece of immovable property as a residence. The other is a one time transportation agreement. Both have completely different legally permissible options for the owner/company to "re-accommodate" you.

The correct absurd hypothetical based on your post is if UA told you you HAD to eat out your gf on the plane, they have the authority to make you do it, and if not, they can kick you off of the plane.
