I know the fare difference applies if you are downgraded in the event of an equipment change but is that also the case when you show up to the airport in the event of overbooking? Doesn't seem fair as in the former, you may have the ability to change dates or flights while in the latter, you may be left with no choice.
I'll report back on what happens to him.
