It wasn't an Involuntary Denied Boarding. He had ALREADY boarded. It was an involuntary de-boarding.[/quote]

You are incorrect. A passenger is not officially boarded until the aircraft door is shut. Please stop spreading misinformation.[/quote]

Please apply some common sense.  Normal people consider showing your boarding pass and getting on the plane to be *boarding the plane*.  He had already done that.  HE BOARDED THE PLANE.[/quote]

NP. I looked on the FAA site and couldn't easily find a definition of "boarding," but those who fly a lot will note that once all passengers are on the plane, the doors are closed and the flight attendant announces that "boarding has been completed."

Not to justify what United did, but, based on my experience, I would interpret the process of boarding to end at that point, and no passenger would be considered "boarded" until boarding has been completed.

Odds are that United was in compliance with the law, FAA regulations and their contract with the passenger when they did this.

However, just because it was legal doesn't mean it was right. [/quote]
