never been late so doubtful.
You being late for a flight has nothing to do with the overbooking policy.

what i read earlier is the only way one benefits other than volunteering to deplane (which I have never done either) once they were up to 1200 but my employer would have fired me if I volunteered. if they said i was randomly chosen I would have had them call my employer...or something like that

I think they could have made an exception for the doctor. His clients are in need of medical attention. Another passenger or one of the flight attendants could have caught another flight.

To each their own. I'd prefer not to chance it in those nasty bathrooms if that were me. I fly pretty comfortably though so I guess I'm not really in that position to fully know how I'd handle it.

Say JetBlue has 2 flights today from BOS-MSY...
- The earlier flight is swapped out from an A321 to an A320. The A321 was booked full, but not oversold. Now they've got 50 passengers needing to get to MSY.
- Other airlines don't have space available today and no one is willing to volunteer.
- The later flight has 20 seats available. Okay, the first 20 people are booked there.
- There's 20 seats left on a connecting BOS-JFK-MSY flight. Now we need to reassign 10.
- The remaining 10 are rebooked for flights tomorrow.
- The later direct BOS-MSY and BOS-JFK-MSY flights go out with 5 seats open on each because of no-shows of people originally booked. All 50 passengers would have made it to MSY tonight in the current format of allowing oversells, but not in your proposed format.
First kudos for realizing how JetBlue can claim to never to intentionally oversell, yet these sorts of issues.
Yes your situation is true.
But dealing with that because of plane issues (one bigger than the other) is far more palatable than simply selling more tickets than what's on the plane because you think they won't show.
One is done out of necessity, the other out of $$$.

Chicken,
I will go on a plane and will be forcibly removed to cause a viral video storm in which I'll scream "visit tigerdroppings.com", if you make me an admin.

Wonder if he has a case against the airlines?

All of them? Why not.

So I guess if you miss your flight due to a flat tire you'd rather have to buy a new ticket

The issue is that the airline shoulda raised the ante until it got what it needed.
This. If no volunteers for $800 credit, the up it to $900, then $1000, $1100, etc. Don't just pick a passenger and boot him.

You would think. BUT the Airline lobby got it put in the regs that $650 is the cap for offering a passenger for a seat. Total BS.

Ray, that's 100% false.

If he really is a doctor then this is awesome just because they overbook all the time and expect people to wait on them.

They are running on 8-10% margins. Not sure how that would be considered razor thin.
Restaurants and convenience stores are considered razor thin, at around 1% margins. THAT is razor thin.

Just read in another article that the next flight wasn't until the next afternoon that's why no one would take the offer. Missing an entire day of work might not have been worth the $800.

I just don't understand how they managed to frick this up so badly when there were so many other better options
Posted on 4/10/17 at 7:20 pm to cas4t
Forget the bloody lip, that passenger may very well have suffered a concussion. Seemed incoherent and in a fog afterwards. Why didn't United just keep upping the IDB compensation? Losing a couple of thousand dollars sure beats the hell out of a ton of negative publicity, not to mention potential litigation and medical expenses.
