Good for you you don't care about your rights and blindfully listen to authorities, even when they're abused by the airline.

How much is violence worth to you? How far could the airline have gone with offering money to volunteers to deplane? Is $800 dollars already too much and violence is a better solution? Should they have offered $1600 first to find any takers? $5000?

The airline caused their own delay. They could have found nother way to get the employees there or call in other people for work for that day at the other location. They were in the wrong to deplane already boarded people. They created a bad situation and handled it even worse.

Violence is not a solution... There are 2 problems here and you are mixing everything up. If you continue talking about me and your assumption , we can get this conversation to bitch each other and what I think about people filling entitled to everything and not following rules, up to you. But:

1) The dude being removed from a flight for whatever reason (and you can debate this if you want)

2) The dude not complying to airport's authorities... That's not about your "rights" at this points. You can talk and sue for your right after that but yes, if a cop is asking you to de-plane you follow the instruction "blindfully" at first. Or they will remove you, that's a no brainer lol.

1) There was no valid reason to remove him after boarding.

2) The airport authorities were abused by the airline in this case. They are there to protect the safety not to make passengers comply with the wishes of the airline. He was in his right to refuse and there was definitely no reason to manhandle him. The authorities can only ask the person nicely in this case. It's not their job to act as the airline's goon squad. They should have simply told the airline there was nothing they could do at this point, find another solution. The problem escalated as the authorities were blindfully following the instructions of the airline. It's not a no brainer, he was in his right to challenge the authorities and the airline in this case. The authorities and the airline were in the wrong for acting the way they did.
