So,

I thought I had a good handle on aviation law, but from reading all the threads, I may be missing something (which, doesn't surprise me) lol

Not interested in arguing either (or any) of the recent cases, go do that in the other threads.


Hypothetical: You are a regular, plain jane, citizen. No special rights, protected class, whatever.

You buy what I will call a 'regular ticket' on a commercial aircraft (Delta, United, Allegiant) to somewhere.


You are seated, belted in. You are sober, paying attention to the flight crews' commands, not even verbally argumentative.

What are your rights to remain on that aircraft if the owner of the aircraft wants you off?



I see this as a confluence of contract / civil law and criminal (FAR) law. My position is, that is a private conveyance, and they can boot you for any reason, or no reason, just like a cabbie can pitch you out; but I am reading that if you can get to your seat and aren't being resistive or disruptive they can't do anything to you.

I recognize that there are special rules for aircraft due to the unique nature of air travel; they can't just pull over if there's a problem.

Also - I'm not looking for binding legal advice, just trying to get it straight in my head.

That is how some carriers are choosing to play it now - but not what is lawful or even appropriate.

Pretty sure it is in the fine print they can boot you for just about anything. It's not good business to make a habit of it, and probably costs the airline money when they do, but I'm pretty sure they can none the less.

Pretty much this. Literally (overused but appropriate in this case), if a FA doesn't like your face, you're gone. Now, he or she will have to answer a bunch of pointed questions and all kind of inter office reports will be flying around, but you're gone.

Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail, everyone will behave and the worst that will happen is the FA will just bitch about it in the galley and maybe give you the stink eye but everyone gets where they're going when they expect to get there.

The airline agrees to get you to your destination.  It does not guarantee what flight, what day, what time, or even what seat that will be on.  You have the right to sit down, shut up, and do what your told.  

Enjoy the friendly skies.

NO that is how it has been. That is the way it was when they removed the doctor.

If you are obeying the rules and not causing trouble, you can not be forcibly removed. That's why airlines offer money to get people to give up their seats and that is appropriate.

People pay their money, the deal is made.  AFTER completing an agreement  is not the time to rescind your service or product when someone that has purchased your service or product is playing by the rules.

Think about this exact same thing in other aspects of life and what would happen.  If the grocery store took back the last Thanksgiving turkey you paid for  while your loading your car or   a theater owner taking you out of your seat for someone else, or......

Allow me to answer with a question:


What do you suppose happens, if the airline tells the Captain to vacate his seat?


Assume a veteran Captain with 25 years of spotless service.

Further, assume he really, really does Not want to surrender his seat.
Let's say, the flight is going to PHX, where his dieing mother resides.

The FAR's say one thing, the handbooks and company policy say another, they got you right then and there at that instant, you have to follow a "lawful" company reg and flight crewmember's instructions, but in a court of law, since it's interstate will have to be Federal court, the FAR's take precedence. With the FAA, the governing body of aviation, the laws cannot contradict handbooks and company policy

(emphasis mine)


This is the thought process I was referring to. Can anyone quote where this is rooted in law?

As far as the examples, I can speak to them. In the turkey example, you're confusing a good with a service. In the case of the theater owner, for a fact, I can tell you if the theater wants you out for whatever reason, you go. State trespass laws trump civil contract law. Just like a restaurant booting a patron for any reason, that's pretty well settled in case law, too, as far as I know. I know for a fact people have been booted from fast food places, even after buying a soda to ensure they couldn't be removed, and that never went anywhere courtwise. (If I'm wrong there, love to see the actual law)

It wasn't a trick question.  I'm referring to the 4 stripe guy in the front left seat.

Answer:  He unceremoniously packs his shit up, and walks off the airplane.       It actually happens that way, from time to time.

What in that link contradicts anything I posted? That they've got to ask for volunteers first by rule, as opposed to choosing to ask for volunteers?

Does not change the fact they can involuntarily remove you from a flight, even if you are seated and otherwise well-behaved and have a valid ticket.

As a former cabbie, no we couldn't. Not here, anyhow. Local law says if they're not abusive and can pay we MUST take them.

"Abusive" is subjective, but if you wanted to keep your job it'd better be bad. I refused a guy once for pissing himself only to have the dispatcher put me on standby for the rest of my shift. They'd often send cabs to addresses known for run-outs and habitual no-shows too, getting pissy with drivers who'd been burned and wouldn't go back there.

In my experience it's actually harder to get kicked out of a taxi than an airliner.

Frankly, it isn't important enough to me to spend time looking it up.   If you don't think they can create a rationale for booting you off regardless of the actual circumstances, cool. Suffice it to say every airline has its own policies for passenger removal and the separate operating manuals for gate agents, pilots, and flight attendants also contain information on the process.

Also, suffice it to say you will not win the argument at the aircraft.  You could be 100% correct, but you won't win the argument at that point.  It's like arguing with a cop at the side of the road, it's just not gonna go the way you hope it will.

The captain of the aircraft has the final say over the operation of the aircraft.  Period.  The captain can remove anybody for any reason.  That is not to say the captain won't have to answer for his/her actions later but as long as they are the captain of that flight...they win that argument.  Right or wrong, it's the way it is and has to be.

Frankly, it isn't important enough to me to spend time looking it up.   If you don't think they can create a rationale for booting you off regardless of the actual circumstances, cool. Suffice it to say every airline has its own policies for passenger removal and the separate operating manuals for gate agents, pilots, and flight attendants also contain information on the process.

Also, suffice it to say you will not win the argument at the aircraft.  You could be 100% correct, but you won't win the argument at that point.  It's like arguing with a cop at the side of the road, it's just not gonna go the way you hope it will.

The captain of the aircraft has the final say over the operation of the aircraft.  Period.  The captain can remove anybody for any reason.  That is not to say the captain won't have to answer for his/her actions later but as long as they are the captain of that flight...they win that argument.  Right or wrong, it's the way it is and has to be.

Can you quote an airline's contract of carriage that states you can be removed from the aircraft if the flight attendant doesn't like your eye color or whatever other absurd example was given?

I bet the airlines wish that they'd had you around when they were writing the CoC. United alone could have removed two whole sections based off your wisdom.

Ok, I was bored enough.  Here is Delta's:

Delta may refuse to transport or may remove passengers from
its aircraft in any of the following situations:
1) When the passenger’s conduct is disorderly, abusive or violent;
2) When the passenger is barefoot;
3) When the passenger appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs;
4) When the passenger attempts to interfere with any member of the flight crew in the pursuit of
his or her duties, or fails to obey the instruction of any member of the flight crew;
5) When the passenger has a contagious disease that may be transmissible to other passengers
during the normal course of the flight;
6) When the passenger has a malodorous condition;
7) When the passenger is unable to sit in a seat with the seatbelt fastened;
8) When the passenger’s behavior may be hazardous to himself/herself, the crew, or other
passengers;
9) When the passenger is seriously ill, and fails to provide a physician's written permission to fly.
10) When the passenger’s conduct creates an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance to
other passengers;
11) When the passenger’s conduct creates a risk of harm or damage to the carrier’s aircraft
and/or property, or the property of other passengers.

For all the people bitching about the airlines....

Since they are so bad......quit fucking flying.

You can't or won't follow instructions? Quit fucking flying.

Don't like the TSA?  Quit fucking flying.  





Did your mommy tell that you are special?  Guess what?  You aren't.

And up until the United dinky Dao debacle, you know the Captain was going to go with whatever the flight attendant recommended/requested.

You are wrong that they can boot you off for any reason or for no reason. There are very specific reasons listed and those are the only reasons that the airline can refuse to uphold the contract. It is not like AA717driver said "if a FA doesn't like your face, you're gone".

There is a contract and both sides are bound by it.

I agree with your statement.  But, if you don't think that list is broad enough to allow a flight attendant to articulate why anybody at any time fits into at least one of the parameters, then I don't know what to tell you.  

Again, you won't win that argument at the plane.
