That's exactly the fake logic that makes this whole empty farrago Fake News
Nonsense.

(1) There has been no evidence presented that 2-300 would necessarily have been delayed, ie that it would have been beyond the laws of physics to get some crew somehow to the next day's plane without bouncing those four passengers.


(2) And if four passengers had to be bounced, the reasonable approach would have been to offer them some money in compensation (real amounts of real cash money, not peanuts in vouchers). At some price considerably less than the millions they have chosen to spend enough volunteers would have been forthcoming.
