They have the right to refuse service. If you don't believe me, how many times have airlines kicked people off of planes?

Yes, they could have refused service by not accepting his money. However, they did, so they entered a contract.

Now, you're just being silly.

Did he buy the plane? No. Did he buy the company that owns the plane? No. He has no say on if he can stay on the plane if they ask him to leave for whatever reason. If a plane ticket paid for passage and a right to be a dick then everyone would fly.

At the very least they would need to refund his ticket, and give him another for a later flight.
Also such moves can be a problem, if the person in question has a time & place he needs to be at.
Its a really dick move by a air plane company to do this.
If a guy refuses to be kicked off, they should have first started asking other passengers, before resulting in dragging a man out like that.

I'm sure the airline was gonna do all sorts of nice things for him because they were gonna move him to a different plane. I saw in one of the other posts that he was more or less told there was a chance he would have to change planes, he bought the ticket anyway. I don't know what happened in the exchange between him and the airline staff after he was told he had to leave. He could have been real nasty about it. It doesn't really matter for the most part. The important part was that he was told that he had to leave and he refused. They had to remove him forcibly because he refused to go the nice way.
My point is if I took a cab and I paid for the ride beforehand but the driver told me that I had to leave later on, I would ask for my money back. If i got it back, i would leave with no arguements. I would just get a different one. If he was nasty, i would write down his cab number and call his company later on to complain about him.
