只有当:如果航空公司没有overbooked ,then顾客就不会被forced to take a later flight的情况下,如果passenger 被denied a seat on a flight for which the passenger has confirmed reservations, airline is morally obliged to compensate the passenger. 言下之意,即使航空公司没有overbooked , 顾客也被forced to take a later flight的情况下, airline is not morally obliged.

23. Arnold: I was recently denied a seat on an airline flight for which I had a confirme ...
Spot the question type: Method of the reasoning - Point at issue of principle.
Core of the argument:
A: Regardless of whether being cancelled due to the bad weather or not, due to the acton of overbooking, A should be compensated for missing his business meetings.
J: Regardless of whether the action of overbooking is existed or not, airline is not morally obligated to compensate A due to the weather cancellation.
So, apparently, J believes that A will never be morally obligated to compensate any passengers with confirmed booking if the flight is cancelled due to the weather conditions.
Let us see the answers.
A. Not to the point discussed.
B. we can't say other reasons to cancel the flight is not sufficient enough to lead to the morality obligation being necessary.
C. If the airline had not overbooked the original flight, it must be true that the passenger would not have been forced to take a later flight. Which is - If Passenger would have been forced to take a later flight, airline had overbooked the original flight. - Perfectly justified J's argument. Which is to say, the condition of you taking the next flight is not due to the weather condition, but due to the overbooking.
D. Weaken J's argument => Passenger is forced to take a later flight, it must be true that original flight is cancelled due to bad weather. According to J, Airline is" not morally obligated " to compensate the passengers if the reasons to cancel the flight is because of bad weather.
E. It is out of the scope of the sufficient condition as we are discussing the passenger be forced to take a later flight due to the overbooking but not because other reasons of " not overbooking "
