I'm simply trying to nail down what is acceptable when it comes to UA's lack of planning inconveniencing pax

I've boarded a plane after the door was closed.

I've been "deplaned" as a non-rev on United after the door closed, gate pulled away, and plane backed out.

So I think your bar is too low. If you are going to allow paying pax to be displaced from the seats they are sitting it, then I think until the plane is number 1 for take off in its runway, it should be ordered back. Do you disagree?
