A320Fan - it may be helpful to read the post (esp, when you quote it) prior to replying. In my response to Prav - I'm not talking about overbooking, closed lfight, no-shows or any of the other items you had in your response.
My point was if the OP was given written confirmation that he is put on a later flight and will be compensated for voluntarily giving up his seat, THEN it is a contract. Judging by your (A320, other airline employees, and airline sympathizers on this board) enthusiasm for following every word of the contract, you would agree that the airline too would have to follow this contract.
However, as the OP clarified, all he received was a verbal confirmation. In this case he has no proof to validate the contract and as such he is out-of-luck!
