That might be OK for you, but it might not be for someone trying to get to a very important meeting,a funeral, to see s dying loved one or to meet with a government agent for the sake of a dear relative.I have been the lucky recipient of those offers to take a later flight. I got to fly later on to Colorado on them. Let them pay for overbooking. We don't need more federal laws and regulations.
Not everyone has the freedom to waste time.
A business nor anyone else should be able to sell what they do not have.
There should be no recourse, to Force Majeure for the private sector, but for actual emergencies.The same people that bitch about over booking will scream bloody murder if the ticket price goes up.
How long before people who buy something they don't have start going elsewhere? Not very long at all.
And how many innocent people have to die from bad drugs, bad business practices, doctors unable to get to their patients, highway wrecks, etc because we have stupidly decided that 'free market' = 'corrupt chaotic market'?
The two are not the same. a truly free market is a market that is well regulated and validated to not be rigged, criminal, or lethal to its customers.
The free market is the way to go. Take this United story for instance, you think this won't have an impact on their market share?
Yeah, but too late if he had a critical medical treatment for his patient, or any number of other things.
How many innocent deaths are an acceptable loss each year for your version of a free market?
Who has the free market killed?
Answer: no one.
And I never said no regulations, I said we don't need more regulations.
You're kidding, right?

FTR: This isn't a case of overbooking.The airlines are shit, run by shits, but,
if they stop overbooking then it is fair for them to sell you only non-refundable tickets.
They should sell tickets first come, first served, and when they get into overbook status, they should inform the ticket buyer that they are in line to be bumped if every person who bought tickets ahead of them shows up.

It was the airline wanting to make 4 seats available for their own employees.
Overbooking pays off, too: Airlines almost always make more from the extra fares than they give back to volunteers in future-travel vouchers. When an airline can’t find enough volunteers—the dreaded “involuntary denied boarding,” as regulators call it—the cost can run as high as $1,300 cash per passenger under revised rules adopted in 2011.
Yes. For a long time now.Is Dao a US citizen?
Yeah, if he was black they probably would have shot him and dragged his corpse off the plane.Good thing he was just Asian, and not black.....AMIRITE, SNOWFLAKES?
I don't remember the last time I had a trip that wasn't delayed at least once.
We are talking about an unregulated 'free' market that some espouse vrs a regulated free market that I and most of AMerican prefer. We prefer it to avoid the unnecessary deaths of innocent people who might other wise perish due to unsafe products like the chemical crap that some of the Chinese milk producers were putting in their milk recently.How long before people who buy something they don't have start going elsewhere? Not very long at all.

1. It's funny you have to go back that far.
2. They weren't killed my the free market.
Sorry, the answer is still zero.
I don't think it should be illegal, but I think passengers should have the right to sue if they get bumped. This regulation that says they can't is just plain unjust and insane.If you pay for the service, you should get the service.
One should not have to get off an airplane because the AIRLINE sold your seat twice.
UTTER NONSENSE!
THE GUY SHOULD HAVE LEFT PEACEFULLY, but overbooking is bullshit.
United is Asiaphobic.

The only problem with capitalism is the capitalists because they are dominated by sociopathic greedy bastards.
Nope. the airline should have to keep upping the compensation they offer until someone accepts. That will allow them to determine how much overbooking is pissing off their customers and price it accordingly.No volunteers, the last person to book is the first one off.
