Help me understand why airlines overbook flights. Thank God sporting events have better technology than airlines. Imagine sitting down at say an Lsu game and being told I'm sorry you paid $75 for this seat we also sold it to someone else so get up or we will beat the hell out of you.
From what I can tell, the "bump" rules allow that stupidity at least until a person has boarded. The "right" to remove a passenger from his seat so employees can fly does not seem to be supported in the contract of carriage.
