Wasn't it an $800 voucher ?
Has to be more, and only as cash in hand - Voucher is no good.
What gets me is, this situation should never occur.
You don't board people onto an aircraft, until everything is in order. Every pax has an assigned seat or is denied boarding if the flight is oversold.
You forcibly remove pax who are highly disruptive, or a danger to themselves or others.
You never deplane a seated commercial passenger - Ever.
I don't believe it matters too much what the contracts or terms, or even the captain says.
If you have paid for your ticket, checked in, received boarding pass and crossed the threshold of the aircraft door to your seat - it is too late.
It is total madness and too far into the performance of the contract to invoke some policy small print, or panicking and calling the police for help.
I do hope the police send a clear message to airlines that they will not become involved in such rediculous practices.
