Completely - However i do think as soon as it happened he saw the $$$ signs - most people would chance it, if you asked to move the infant move. Delta are ****ing woeful though.

But didn't do a name change on his 18 year olds ticket.... You can not travel on someone else's ticket no matter what

I imagine it's because they asked him to move the child, he refused a couple times - got escalated then removed. The wrong action of course

Toddlers have to still be checked in - even if don't have a seat

Not at all, if they didn't tell the check in agent what was going on how are they meant to know - from his comments on board (see above) it seems he assumed the seat was his whatever. They dealt with it badly, but he wasn't kicked off for an over booking, it was his initial error.

Mr Schear argued that he had paid for the seat – albeit for his teenager – and so should not be ordered to give it up. Doesn't look like he changed the name on that ticket - which is the issue.

Not for that seat it seems. You still have to check a toddler in. Unless the name was changed on his other sons ticket for the toddler he will go down as a no show and the seat resold/released

Which has nothing to do with him being removed The issue is because he was trying to use a voided ticket in his sons name for the infant

This wasn't an overbooking

Did they change the 18 year olds ticket for the toddler? If not it would have still been down for him and toddler as a lap seat. Mr Schear said he had originally booked the seat for his older son, who had taken an earlier flight to make sure one of his other children would have a seat. It...

That's how I see it, the airline has done nothing wrong from that side of things - the seat would have been released for resale. Not an issue if no one else buys the seat/standby staff. It's not over selling as that seat would have been free.

I'm not a security expert, but it may have been the infant not actually having a seat so therefore the security assumed he would not have a boarding card? Airline was wrong in how they approached it, but as soon as the 18 year old didn't check in the seat would have been released.
