问题 Arnold: I was recently denied a seal on an airline flight for which I had a confirmed reservation, because the airline had overbooked the flight. Since I was forced to fly on the next available flight, which did not depart until two hours later, I missed an important business meeting. Even though the flight on which I had a reservation was canceled at the last minute due to bad weather, the airline should still pay me compensation for denying me a seat on the flight. Jamie: The airline is not morally obligated to pay you any compensation. Even of you had not been denied a seat on the earlier flight, you would have missed your business meeting anyway. Which is the principle that, if established, justifies Jamie’s response to Arnold is that an airline is morally obligated to compensate a passenger who has been denied a seat on a flight for which the passenger has confirmed reservations?
选项 A、If the only reason the passenger is forced to take a later flight is that the airline overbooked the original flight.
B、Only if there is a reason the passenger is forced to take a later flight other than the original flight’s being canceled due to bad weather.
C、Only if the passenger would not have been forced to take a later flight and the airline not overbooked the original flight.
D、Even if the only reason the passenger is forced to take a later flight were that the original flight is canceled due to bad weather.
E、Even if the passenger would still have been forced to take a later flight and the airline not overbooked the original flight.
答案C
解析 要证明Jamie对Arnold反应是合理的，就是要找航空公司有责任赔偿乘客的必要条件。根据Jamic对Arnold论述的驳斥，可知航空公司在超额预定某一航班时在道义上不具有赔偿责任，要对Arnold论述进行进一步的驳斥，还要对Arnold提及的天气原因进行反驳，即航空公司在由于天气或其他原因而迫使乘客乘坐晚一点的航班也不应当负道义上的责任。综上所述只有在顾客预定的那个航班既没有被超额预定，也没有因其他原因被取消或推迟的情况下，乘客仍被拒绝了座位时，航空公司在道义上就具有赔偿的责任，所以(C)是正确答案。
