Wrong. And many legal experts agree United broke their end of the
contract. Disagree all you want; but you can't change this reality,
fool.

seat.

Not legally, nope.

Wrong again. He was not disorderly until they attempted to remove him
from the seat he had already boarded and sat in as contractually
obligated. Their attempt to break their end of the contract and his
refusal to go along with it does not constitute disorderly conduct.

People like you just love to suck the cock of authority.

I do not agree with what happened.

But it happened because of a reason. You can deny all you want by only
looking are part of the contract and forgetting that most clauses that
"including this and that" do not exclude other reasons.


If the airline wants to really stop this from happening, it needs to
find what went on in the thinking of the crew and the security guards
and make sure they codify stuff which will prevent it.

You will note that on the night of the event, the UNITED CEO stated that
the crew acted as per the rules. The next day, due to huge PR backlash,
he admitted the rules were bad and United would review them.


Consider this: had the security guys extracted the guy without injury,
there would have been no huge PR backlash and no threat of lawsuit. The
airline would have found a clause in the contract of carriage giving
then the right to do what they did and offered the guy the next flight
and come compensation.

Physical harm to the passenger was the real legal show stopper  and why
United and the security foloks have to react and monetarily apologize.

that's exactly what they did.

he initially was sucking up to the unions. that turned out to be a
mistake.

there is no clause.

You are defending the indefensible (the actions of the authorities
involved) while disparaging the victim.

> But it happened because of a reason.

It happened because United breached their contract with the passenger
and then called security to forcibly remove him from his seat.

> You can deny all you want

You're the one in denial here. United has admitted it was wrong. The
security guards involved were all suspended. And United granted the
passenger a huge settlement for their wrong doing.

You are the one trying to ignore the parts of the contract that actually
matter. And legal experts agree with *me* - not you.

> You will note that on the night of the event, the UNITED CEO stated
> that the crew acted as per the rules.

There you go again licking the boots of authority. You will note the CEO
and other United authorities also claimed the flight was overbooked and
that the passenger was disruptive and belligerent, despite video
evidence showing that not to be true. United lied many times about the
incident; and only after there was a backlash did they change their tune
and tell the truth. Later on United agreed to a settlement with the
passenger where they paid him a large sum of money for their wrong
doing.

> Consider this: had the security guys extracted the guy without injury,

You don't know that.

Wrong again:

"Bottom line is that if the airline wants to bump you from the aircraft,
it must deny you boarding. After the crew grant you boarding, the number
of conditions under which they may deplane you substantially decreases.
In this case, United Airlines made the mistake of boarding all
passengers and then trying to find space for additional crew. The
airline should bear the burden of this mistake, not the passengers who
successfully boarded the plane.  If the airline doesn't like this, it
should have written a different contract."

> Physical harm to the passenger was the real legal show stopper

No, that was just the icing on the cake. Breaking their own contract is
what landed them in hot water.

Sol you are saying that if a flight is delayed or cancelled, the airline
has failed to meet its contract obligations even if it puts the
passenger on another flight?

I argued that the contract of carriage requires the airline to deliver
passenger to destination in reasonable time, it does not require it to
deliver it on time and on the specifric flight that was booked.

So getting passenger to destination on a different flight (as UA wanted
to do in this case) does not break contract of carriage.

But Lewis seems to imply, by disagreeing with my statement that a late
or cancelled flight forcing apssenger to arrive late vreaks contract of
carriage since the airline doesn't deliver person on the flight book at
the times booked.

But you continue to ignore that the contract has specific terms under 
which a passenger can be sent on a different flight...

...and this situation didn't meet those terms.

No. He implied nothing of the kind. That is a strawman you constructed.

The contract does NOT allow the airline to remove a passenger that has
already boarded to give employees that seat. End of story.

the coc does not allow removing a paying passenger who has already
boarded and was not disruptive and posed no safety risk.

a delay outside of the airline's control (weather or mechanical) is an
entirely different story.

it wasn't late or canceled. 

and not only does lewis disagree with you, but so does united airlines,
which is why united settled for an amount believed to be in the $10
million range.

So what happens when the captain decides the plane is too heavy and
can't take off unless passengers are removed?

mechanical is within the airline's control. And if a captain decides a
plane has a mechanical problem that prevents it from taking off, all
passengers are removed, flight cancelled and put on other flights.

As I said, contracts that have "including A, B ,C" do not exclude D
unless D is specifically excluded.

Read again. The CEO of United confirmed that the employees acted as per
within the rules and couldn't be fired. He said the rules needed changing.

If the rules didn't allow what happened, they wouldn't need changing.

The amount was not publishjed, and secondly, the "why" is not because
passenger was rebooked on different flight, but because he was inflicted
physical harm, humiliation etc.

Contract law states that ambiguity is to the benefit of the party that

that's a safety issue, and in that situation, bags are usually removed,
not pax.

he wasn't rebooked on another flight. he spent a couple of days in the

You are desperately trying to ignore the relevant part of the contract
that pertains to this case so you can falsely claim the airline and
authorities were not at fault. Keep licking those boots, sheep. Tasty?

The point here is that Airlines always reserve the right to make
operational decisions and the contract is such worded. The contract is
about delivering you to destination, now how/when they do.


Example:

24-B (4.g) Any event not reasonably foreseen, anticipated or predicted
by UA.


In terms of delivering within reasonable time frame, UA decides
reasonable - 7 days:

24-C (1)  Provided that the dates of departure and arrival must be
within 7 days of the originally scheduled dates of departure and
arrival, respectively, transport the Passenger on its own flights,


More loopholes:

Liability - Except to the extent provided in this Rule and the Warsaw
and/or Montreal Conventions, UA shall not be liable for any Irregular
Operations.

aka: 4 seats are no longer available to passengers, = irregular operation.

In fact, for Irregular operations, there isn't even a time limit to
define when the carrier must deliver you to destination:

24-E (2-a.i) When a Passenger’s ticket is affected because of Irregular
Operations caused by UA, UA will take the following measures:

    Transport the Passenger on its own flights, subject to availability,
to the Destination, next Stopover point, or transfer point shown on its
portion of the Ticket, without Stopover in the same class of service, at
no additional cost to the Passenger; or


The "denied boarding" (rule 25) rules are more specific in terms of
compensation for involuntary bumping, and depends on wether the
passenger would arrive less or more than 2 hours from original schedule
arrivale time for flighst within USA.



Also
#
The flight for which the Passenger holds confirmed reserved space is
unable to accommodate the Passenger because of substitution of equipment
of lesser capacity when required by operational or safety reasons or, on
an aircraft with a designed passenger capacity of 60 or fewer seats, the
flight for which the passenger holds confirmed reserved space is unable
to accommodate that passenger due to weight/balance restrictions when
required by operational or safety reasons;
##


There is nothing in the rules (taken from web archive, dated Feb 20 to
refelect what would have been in effect at the time of the terrible
handling by UA) which prescribes that "denied boarding" must happen
prior to boarding the aircraft.

I never claimed they were not at fault. I am trying to find and argue
that the rules were faulty and allowed this to happen.

[nice try at trollishly trimming context - restored above]

> The point 

The point is that you are desperately building stawman arguments in an
attempt to legitimize the wrong doing of the airline and authorities -
at the expense of the passenger who was harmed. People like you just
love to lick the boots of authority and blame the victims instead. Your
mentality is fucking pathetic. Then again you're not even American; so I
suppose your apathetic and authoritarian mentality is to be somewhat
expected. 

> Airlines always reserve the right to make operational decisions and

> destination, now how/when they do.

Nope, the contract lays out *very* specific conditions under which a
passenger may be legally removed from their boarded seat, and *none* of
those conditions were applicable, which means the airline was *wrong*
for removing the passenger:

---
Dao was not denied boarding. He was granted boarding and then
involuntarily removed from the airplane. What does the contract say
about that?

It turns out that the contract has a specific rule regarding “Refusal of
Transport” (Rule 21), which lays out the conditions under which a
passenger can be removed and refused transport on the aircraft. This
includes situations where passengers act in a “disorderly, offensive,
abusive, or violent” manner, refuse to comply with the smoking policy,
are barefoot or “not properly clothed,” as well as many other
situations. There is absolutely no provision for deplaning a seated
passenger because the flight is oversold.

An added complication here is that the flight wasn’t even oversold. The
contract defines an oversold flight as “a flight where there are more
Passengers holding valid confirmed Tickets that check-in for the flight
within the prescribed check-in time than there are available seats.” In
this case, the airline attempted to remove seated passengers to make
room for airline staff requiring transport to another airport, not
because it had sold more tickets than there were seats available. In any
event, this point is largely moot, because neither employee
transportation nor oversold situations is listed as among the reasons
that a passenger may be refused transport.

One might argue that Dao had not completed “boarding” until the cabin
door was closed. This argument would be wrong. The term “boarding” is
not defined in the definition section of the contract, and absent an
explicit definition in the contract, terms are to be afforded their
plain meaning. “Boarding” means that the passenger presents a boarding
pass to the gate agent who accepts or scans the pass and permits entry
through the gate to the airplane, allowing the passenger to enter the
aircraft and take a seat.

It is possible in this regard to distinguish between the collective
completion of the plane’s boarding process, which is not complete until
all passengers have boarded and the cabin door is closed. But that is
different from each passenger’s boarding, which is complete for each
individual once he or she has been accepted for transportation by the
gate agent and proceeded to the aircraft and taken his or her assigned
seat.

Bottom line is that if the airline wants to bump you from the aircraft,
it must deny you boarding. After the crew grant you boarding, the number
of conditions under which they may deplane you substantially decreases.
In this case, United Airlines made the mistake of boarding all
passengers and then trying to find space for additional crew. The
airline should bear the burden of this mistake, not the passengers who
successfully boarded the plane.  If the airline doesn’t like this, it
should have written a different contract.
---

<http://www.dorfonlaw.org/2017/04/united-airlines-own-contract-denied-it.html>

This is from a Cornell Professor of Law. And most legal professionals
are in agreement with his professional opinion. And the fact that United
agreed to settle with the passenger for a large sum of money only
corroborates his opinion. 

What are your legal qualifications again? None? Thought so.
I'll take the opinion of legal professionals over your ignorance.

The passenger was *not* denied boarding. He was *granted* boarding, had
already boarded and was sitting in his contracted seat, and then
subsequently involuntarily and violently *deplaned*, which is *not* the
same thing.

I am not supprtive of what happened. There is a difference between
trying to understand why this happened and judging if it was right or wrong.

Actually, can be prevented from traveling. (this includes smelling bad
in the UA contract).

In the case of Dao, this was denied boarding due to overbooking. They
just did the "denied" boarding in the plane instead of at the gate.
Again, the contract does not stipilate that "denied boarding" must be
done before you're on the plane.

Go back a few years to paper boarding passes and manual counting. (your
parents would know about this, you're obviouysly too young).

Two pax get assigned same seat and when they do the head count inside
aircraft and check everyone boarding passes, they realize there is one
pax too many. One of them gets "denied boarding" treatment (which has
defined compensation different from refusal of transport)

(Important to read the contract of carriage applicable at time of
accident, not the current one).

(In fact, contract of carriage is at time of buying ticket, not on day
of flight and this is important when airline changes rules for baggage
for instance).


> Dao was not denied boarding. He was granted boarding and then

> about that?

He was involuntarily denied boarding after he boarded. As the text of
the contract does not define/limit where "denied boarding" can happen,
doing so while on the plane remains possible (even if the wording
*suggests* it should happen prior to boarding.)

They did not target him because he did not comply with the
clothing/smell/behaviour. They had too many people on plane and first
asked for volunteers for denied boarding, and when none turned up, they
went for involuntary denied boarding and selected Dao.

From the moment he refused the involuntary denied boarding, he became
disorderly (refusing an order to deplane). To an FA, if your refuse her
orders, even if you stay calm and don't bother others, you are
disorderly. And that kicks in "he is disorderly, call in the swat team
to have him removed" process.

It was all wrog and blown out of proportion, but there was a logic to it.

And if the 3 extra passengers were imposed onto gate agent by someone
higher up, and gate agent then tells FAs to remove passenger X because
some manager requeste it, it is harder for the crews to not comply with
chain of command because they are trained to comply with chain of command.



This didn't happen because they broke the rules, it is because they
blindly and stupidly followed the rules and didn't think or use judgement.

And this is why rules were changed and airlines have to let crews a bit
more freedom in using judgement.


But lets not kid ourselves, denied boarding will happen to people
already on planes, but it won't be for stupid reasons. (if a seatback is
broken for instance, the 3 people on that block get booted off because
that seat becomes no-op due to safety reasons.

Similarly, the is a MEL (minimumn equipment list) and there are defined
parameters such as if one exit is inop, they have to reduce number of
passengers by X. Same if there is a crew member missing. There are a lot
of situations where the capacity fo aircraft can be reduced at last
minute requiring denied borading to some passengers. (or all if flight
cancelled).

Look at the way you just tortured the language:

"denied boarding after he boarded".

Excepted he was already boarded.

No. That is a circular argument. They had no legitimate reason to 
deplane this passenger. Even if you want to call it denying boarding 
(which is absurd on its face), they lacked the necessary condition: 
overbooking of the aircraft.

They broke their own rules.

Period.

It did happen because they broke their own rules.

'The problem that United faces is that, it appears, they breached their 
own Carriage Contract.  Dr. Dao was not denied boarding.  United should 
have, as most carriers do, taken care of the oversold situation before 
boarding passengers.  Once boarded, UA’s own contract controls with 
respect to why a passenger can be removed from a plane and being 
oversold is not a stated reason.

It has been argued that ‘boarding’ includes being seated on the plane 
while the plane is still at the gate.  As boarding is not defined in the 
contract, and when read in conjunction with Rule 21 which uses the 
language ‘remove from the aircraft’, there is at best ambiguity and as 
anyone who has studied contracts knows – ambiguity is construed against 
the drafter.


Rule 21 “Refusal of Transport” gives United to the right to remove from 
the aircraft a passenger who violates any of the stated reasons. Based 
on the facts as they have been presented to date it appears that Dr. Dao 
was not removed for any of the stated reasons in Rule 21: 1) Dr. Dao did 
not breach the contract of carriage; 2) He was not asked to leave 
because of a government request, regulation or security directive; 3) 
There was no force majeure or other unforeseeable condition; 4) There 
was no necessity to search Dr. Dao or his property; 5) There was no 
issue with his identification; 6) Dr. Dao had paid for his ticket; 7) He 
was not travelling across international boundaries and finally; 8) None 
of the 19 safety issues stated in Rule 21 applied.'

Incorrect. That is not a denial of boarding.

That is "Refusal of Transport" for "force majeure"

you aren't trying to understand anything about what happened.

he wasn't denied boarding nor was the flight overbooked.

nope. what they did was remove him, by force. that's not an idb.

actually, it does.

once on the plane, a pax can be removed for safety related issues, if
they're disruptive, etc.

most boarding passes are still paper, and on rare occasion, gate agents
will manually count.

however, that does not matter *at* *all*.

two pax in the same seat doesn't need a head count discrepancy. one of
them will inform an f/a that there's someone already in their seat.

if there's another available seat, one will be reseated. if not,
someone will get bumped. 

either way, that wasn't the issue here.

you should do that.

good luck arguing that one in court.

that's a contradiction.

yes it does.

it's not allowed. simple as that.

it doesn't matter why they chose him. 

they can't remove an already boarded pax, other than for safety related
issues and this was not a safety issue.

he was not disorderly, nor did the f/a give any orders (or captain).

the gate agent made the request and pax are not obligated to follow
gate agent requests because they are not flight crew. 

also note that the gate agent lied about him being disorderly and was
reassigned.

for some twisted definition of logic.

there weren't 3 extra passengers. 

there was 4 deadheading crew who showed up at the last minute, leaving
no time for the gate agent to do much of anything. 

had they been ordinary pax, the gate agent would have told them tough
shit, you can't expect to show up at the gate at the last minute and
get a seat.

there is some truth to that. 

had the f/a offered more for a vdb, she'd have had enough volunteers.

she was at the limit and chose not to authorize something higher, and
went the idb route, partly because it's *much* cheaper.

there are a lot of reasons why the rules were changed.

it can only be done for safety related issues.

which is *completely* different than the situation here.
