Woman bumped from flight, misses 10K dream cruise

When you purchase a ticket, it's not guaranteed you will get there at the time stated on the ticket. It just guarantees that you will get there. It's completely foolish for people like you to think that an airline should lose money on 4+ seats every flight, just in case they need those seats for special circumstances.

The premise that somehow or other the airline is not obligated to get passengers there on time may be on of the more inane ideas I've heard lately and, given the current White House administration, this is quite an accomplishment.

I guess I had no idea we were living in 1920s Italy.
