[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here (to beligerent PP, lol)  maybe we should wait and see the outcome.  Rumor has it that lawyers came knocking on Dao's door almost immediately, and he ended up with two major firms.  You might want to do some research.  GL!  [/quote]
Of course they did, because it will be a huge out of court settlement, not because the law is on Dao's side.  They are looking to make $, not choose the winning legal argument.[/quote]

What would your legal argument be?  If you read other lawyer's posts, it seems United breached the contract.  On what points do you disagree with them?[/quote]
Repositioning staff, not pass riders.[/quote]

Regardless of the semantics here, it still doesn't change the situation.  Repositioning of staff might allow the carrier to use the IDB rules to deny passengers boarding and leave room for employees, but it is not a reason to implement the "Refusal of Transport" clause which is the only way to deboard a passenger already boarded.  The passenger had been boarded.  At that point, it was too late for the crew to bump paying passengers.  If the crew really needed to be on that plane, they needed to call ahead before the crew had boarded the passengers so that they could reserve space for the repositioning of staff.  By not calling ahead, they lost their chance to hold the seats.[/quote]
