Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking

That is where the monumental cockup took place here.
He's right, they are removed after boarding all the time, they're not really meant to be but as I explained a few pages back, the rules or guidelines are extremely relaxed in favour of the actual airline. This may once again change back to before boarding after an incident like this. It's exactly like I put it, if removal after boarding guidelines aren't enforced they just keep getting bent until you end up with an incident like this.

Essentially, you're not meant to do it, but they do it anyway and if no one raises that much of a complaint, nothing changes. I have a feeling this time it may not favour the airline.

His quote however is indeed pre-boarding and actually has nothing to add here.
