Ethical or not, it's a long-accepted practice. We can argue about whether or not that should be how the world is (I agree it shouldn't be!), but that is how the world is. If you buy plane tickets without understanding that you may end up not being allowed on that plane when it takes off, through no fault of your own, that's on you.

Bumping prior to boarding is indeed a long accepted practice. Removing someone from a flight after boarding is not. It is counter to the law except in the rare circumstance that the person poses a risk to the flight.

Correct. He shouldn’t have been removed. However, the airlines failure to follow regulatory requirements in this case is not a free pass to trespass or interfere with a flight crew.

Interesting. Do you have a link to the rule change?
