I really don't care what Denninger says. He gets referred to like his blog is written on stone tablets. It's not.

The good doctor's ticket carries rights spelled out in the Contract of Carriage which DOES give the operator some rights to deny him boarding. Where I draw the line on how they handled it was that they boarded him when they let him cross the gate threshold and get on the plane. I know they referred to "denying him boarding" when they first referenced this incident but they always talk about deboarding when they talk about having passengers get off the plane.

Had this been a case where the doctor was complaining about involuntary deboarding after he notified them about issues it creates in medical treatments for patients and he acted calmly and rationally, it would be one thing. The video that went viral didn't show any of the prior situation (as these videos rarely do) but it DID show him going into hysterics and struggling violently. That created an entirely different situation legally and either way, he didn't have an absolute right to that seat on that plane.
