Show us where in the contract it says, you can be removed from your seat, forcibly, because the company made a bad decision and needed to now get 4 of their own on the flight to another location? I will wait.

From another forum:
When your flight is oversold and you're denied boarding, federal law requires an airline to pay you 200% of your one-way ticket price — up to $650 — if you're delayed by one hour, and 400% of your one-way ticket price — up to $1,300 — if you're delayed by two or more hours. But airlines don't always offer the full amount, instead dangling restrictive travel vouchers that expire after a year in front of their customers.
Here's how the numbers break down: In 2013, the average denied-boarding compensation was $643. Only about one in 10 bumped passengers will challenge their involuntary denied-boarding compensation, because they aren't aware that they could be entitled to much more than airline funny money.

Originally posted by jerp View PostAs has been said above, overbooking is part of the deal when you fly. You don't have any "right" to that seat - they own the airplane so if they tell you to get off, you get off. You can then decide to never fly United again if you want. The airline handled it poorly, no doubt. They should have upped the bid until they got a taker. Or, the captain says "ok, we are going to sit here until someone gets off"

For those saying that if you don't like the policy then don't fly that ariline..well that's pretty jacked up. They ALL have those policies. Airlines are to intertwined with government BS. You sort of "have to" fly when you go a long way so you really don't have a choice.
