Involuntary Bumping

7. You could be right about Rule 21. I know nothing about that.

But you're making a lot of assumptions at the same time.

We don't know if "poor planning" was part of it. Supposedly there were hundreds -I actually read "thousands" somewhere- of flight delays and cancellations. So they were probably trying to alleviate an already dire situation.

They have an upper limit on compensation. Otherwise, passengers would deliberately hold out for more and more and more.

"Thugs" shows your bias. These were police officers doing their job. When a passenger is told to leave and refuses, they are justified in forcing him from the plane.

And yes, the first call to the passengers was to politely (my assumption) ask if four people would volunteer to catch another flight. That's just common sense, not "penny pinching".
