We don't know how long it took to determine that the best course of action was to fly a crew from Chicago to Louisville (and perhaps on from there). We don't know when the gate agents got the word that they needed 4 seats on the flight to Louisville. We don't know how that need was expressed to the agents in Chicago.
And I DON'T CARE! If I were seated and they tried to take me off the plane, it wouldn't be a quiet encounter--I'd scream bloody murder. But I would deplane.
