Contract of Carriage states he did, indeed, agree to give up his seat under a long list of circumstances. Being a doctor has nothing to do with it.Why should he have to give up the seat he paid for and had already been seated in?He was asked to leave by the police...in fact, they told him if he refused to just leave the seat...you know....fucking stand up and walk out, he would end up being arrested....
Especially if he has patients waiting for him to give them care, and I dont see his past as relevant here, or are you saying he was currently going to drug and crew some of his present patients?
Airlines should not sell what they dont have, nor should any other business.
While we can agree on the concept of overbooking, that's not the case here. The extra crew was a last minute addition. If it had been scheduled, the seats would have been held for them. Deplaning passengers for crew members is extremely rare. It's a lose-lose for the airline to do it since they end up pissing off someone no matter what they do; either the four passengers there or the 70ish passengers the next morning when they have to cancel an early flight or delay it several hours forcing many to miss their connections.
