If he was on board and clearly seated, they then looked for volunteers for Denied Boarding of which there was 3, eventually.
Why was he singled out to be the fourth? What was the logic that made it so that he was the one who had the IDB? Similarly, how had they got into the position where he had boarded, presumably having had his BP scanned, and they not be aware that they were going to need the four additional seats for crew deadheading?
I guess similarly, the question needs to asked, was their jump seats and crew seats in the cockpit that could have been used (Looks like an Embraer A/C so probably not the later?)
