Not much, in fact I doubt if one can find a lawyer to take this case if the passenger had voluntarily deplaned.

I do agree with DQ that if I am asked to deplane under the captain's orders, I will need to by law and that refusing to do so is an offense. This is probably why most people put up a scene when evicted. In this particular instance if the passenger quietly deplanes, he by doing so is tacitly accepting the airlines offer. So this is a Catch-22 for the passenger.

I would have insisted that the Captain needs to speak to me directly while I am seated in my assigned seat and would have asked specific questions as to the value of my seat and airlines other options.
