He doesn't have a legal right to stay on the aircraft. He was told to leave. It's pretty simple. Obviously the
PR issues are significant but in the end you just have to be part of society and sometimes that means you don't always get what you want. Individuals need to be adults. This guy was just throwing a tantrum.
Really, are you serious? I've been on a UAL 727 overloaded at Denver. 6 of us were told to get off or the flight wouldn't leave. The initial offer was $200 with no overnight. I was asked and refused to get home to my daughters birth. 6 people volunteered for a free round trip ticket and overnight. This is nothing more the CHEAP!
