[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why is the passenger's personal info at ALL RELEVANT?   should airlines bump customers based on a subjective assessement of  what "good reasons" they have for wanting to go on the flight that they booked and paid for?

I'll bite:  I think that if it is an unemployed person that person should be automatically bumped first.  He or she doesn't have to get to work so they aren't a priority

Do you see how ridiculous this exercise is? [/quote]

I agree. Which is why "I'm a doctor, I need to see patients" isn't a good excuse to avoid the bump. Everyone on the plane has a valid reason to be at their destination in a timely manner.[/quote]

He does not need an excuse. He is a paying customer, he does not have to beg to stay on the flight.[/quote]

At the end of the day, this is all that matters. And people are outraged because it could have been any one of us in his shoes. They offered him a flight that would get him home more than 24 hours later. Some of us have patients, need to care for kids/elderly parents, need to take time-sensitive medication, have appointments, or simply can't miss work.

No one should need to "donate" 24 hours of their time to a corporation that made billions in profit last year. It's unacceptable.[/quote]
