All you need to know
Bigger hate-spewing radical leftist retards than even you
(Interesting that your OP comment, was one of the first comments under the article. Copy & paste what other people write much)
Do you have anything that has to do with the topic or you just being a troll as usual?
Should the airlines be prohibited from overbooking and then, for all practical purposes, stealing that back which they sold?
The topic is a heavily biased propaganda article that you stupidly believe to be "news" and the quote you stole from the comments underneath it [:)]
Actually, the article is almost entirely statements by Ann Coulter.
You would do well to read something before commenting upon the contents.
Not doing so makes you look even stupider than you already do and that is really difficult.
So the question is "Should an entity be able to sell you something for your hard-earned cash, allow you to take possession of that thing and then confiscate it from you by force if necessary?"
Delta has not responded other than to say they wanted to talk with her about it (a tweet that they have deleted and reposted because the first time they called her Anna), so I am not sure of the specifics, but it seems to me this was simply a matter or changing seats? She wasn't denied anything that she paid for... she just didn't get the exact seat she wanted. Kind of like expecting to get a window seat, but instead getting the aisle seat in the same row.
So I'm not sure that it is fair to say that anything was confiscated, it that she was refused something that she paid for.
She paid for and booked a certain seat.
She then took possession of that seat.
She was then put into an inferior (in her mind) product and what was once hers was given to another.
It is therefore exactly what I claim it is. Confiscation.
She was given no choice, there was no bargaining. There was no offer and acceptance which creates a contract as there was with her initial purchase.
Well if you want to get legally technical about it and discuss people engaging in contracts and such, I am sure that included within the fine print of the contract they engaged in when she purchased her ticket, there was language regarding the possibility of changing seats, being bumped from flights, all manner of things that she agreed to when she engaged in the contract. So speaking in strictly technical terms, she still got what she agreed to, contractually.
But in real world practical terms, I just didn’t see this as that big of a deal. I guess because I have changed seating on airlines before so many times for so many reasons that this just doesn’t scream ‘throw a tantrum on social media’ worthy to me, especially when the person doing the complaining
a) didn’t pay for something that they did not get (did she pay extra to get that exact seat)
b) has such a habit of trolling others for being victims and
c) included the images of average citizens in her complaint and placed blame in them, knowing that thousands of people would see it.
Granted, points b and c are irrelevant to the issue at hand, but those points do make it harder for me to feel sorry for her.
Its certainly not on the level of people being dragged off (the most infamous case) or occasions where people paid for seats for their children, yet when they get on board they are forced to hold children in their laps while a stranger sits in the seat that they themselves have already shelled money out for. Or even the inconvenience of being bumped, which happens all the time and which people know is a possibility.
