[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot find a contractual definition for when a passenger's "boarding" is complete. Please post if you see this definition. [/quote]

I'm on my phone. But essentially a "boarded" passenger is an "enplaned" passenger. This is used to calculate revenue miles and fees (airport, FAA and IATA among others).  You don't count passengers as boarded or enplaned until such time as they cannot get off. That happens when the door closes.

You and Munoz seem to have your wires crossed.  Regardless of what you say, his second statement says:
[quote][list]On Sunday, April 9, after United Express Flight 3411 was [b][u]fully boarded[/u][/b], United's gate agents were approached by crewmembers that were told they needed to board the flight.[/list][/quote]

While you might try to split hairs that boarding had not been completed, all of those passengers were fully boarded according to the CEO of the company in question referring to the incident in question.  Boarding may not be complete until the doors close, but the individual passengers who had submitted a valid boarding pass, had boarded the plane, and had been seated, were in fact boarded.  Unless otherwise defined in writing, and you can show where that exists, either in FAA regulations or in the passenger contract of carriage, I think you're just trying to haggle without proof.  The CEO's statement would certainly hold strong evidence that the airline considered the passenger boarded and hence that the IDB rules were not applicable.[/quote]
