Yeah as long as the compensation for involuntary deboarding due to overbooking is high enough I don’t see a problem with the practice. It would be a huge waste to force airlines to fly around with empty seats to reduce the already tiny risk of someone getting kicked off the plane due to overbooking and lack of volunteers.
- tacocataco 2y agoWhy does the airline get to use violence to pay under market value to get someone off their plane? Keep bidding up the compensation till someone volunteers. Don't like the cost? To bad.
- alexanderchr 2y agoThat’s just not how contract law works, at least in the west. You will generally never be forced to fulfil your obligations under a contract, rather you have to (reasonably) compensate the other party if you cannot.
