groiny, they should know they are overbooked before they board, and deal with it before boarding.

The only thing I can guess is that the crew showed up late in the boarding process. And *IF* I am right about the rules (big IF) that they have to let deadheading crews on, that could have led to the passenger being bumped post-boarding.

I am literally guessing here though.

And *IF* that contract says that crews get positive space, they need to amend to say only BEFORE boarding so you don't kick some off the plane after they boarded

I would normally try to glean more info from a frequent flyer board I frequent, but their thread on this was 108 pages last evening so LOL no -- nm - ty97 Apr 11, 07:27 1
- untimately, while it is on the security or police for excess force, it still falls on a failure on United - groiny Apr 11, 07:29
