This príck on the United airlines flight.

[Sir C]

He had a legal right to be on the plane. Disputes of this nature are not normally resolved by baseball bats.

Aircraft. And no, he had no such legal right.

Maybe Mo should read this.

in addition

He didn't. And I cant see where it says they can remove you for their own convenience.

[Pat Vegas]

He did as he refused to leave the plane.

it says 'no one may be denied boarding against his/her will until UA or other carrier personnel first ask for volunteers who will give up their reservations willingly in exchange for compensation as determined by UA. If there are not enough volunteers, other Passengers may be denied boarding involuntarily in accordance with UA’s boarding priority:'

Now it's a bit of a grey area if boarding still counts once you are on the plane I admit that.

That was his reaction to being told to leave and thus cannot possibly have been the reason they were asking him to leave. We know why he was being asked to leave and it was nothing to do with his behaviour..

It doesn't.. it mentions passengers who were denied boarding, he wasn't deneid as there weren't more passengers than seats, it was UA bumping people for their own staff, so in otherwords their rules don't seem to have any contingency for what happened

So it seems there is nothing in the contract that gave them the legal right to do it?

This changes things dramatically for a couple of posters

Thank you Rumpole of the Bailey for fully analysing the standard terms and conditions of carriage

All carriage is subject to operational requirements. They needed to position staff, that's an operational requirement.

I am with you on this one Sir C. He broke the conditions by refusing, I would like to see how he was behaving before cops dragged him off.

And I would imagine in such an industry legal matters and the best lawyers are something they are pretty expert at.

if they give him anything it will be gesture of good will.

**** me I am not going to plough through all that ****. Have you seen how long the section on ski masks is?

I imagine a man with dignity and respect for the rule of law would read them in their entirety.....between tokes
