Under those circumstances, why board the flight and sit a body in every seat ? If United knew it needed four seats for crew members why did they not simply reserve them and not sit someone else down in them ? This is a question a lawyer will ask and it will seem awfully logical to anyone listening including a member of a jury if it gets that far. ( It will not ) The doctor, if indeed the passenger was one, is going to be able to pay of any remaining student loan debt and buy a much bigger house after this one hits the civil legal system.
IMHO great post, but you are assuming too much. You are assuming that the people in charge of booking this flight had commonsense, quite obviously they did not and, unfortunately, lack of commonsense seems to be pervasive in our lives right now.
