That's the calculus that airlines have to do that most people are too selfish/arrogant to acknowledge.

Entitled? Let's not forget, he just happened to be drawn for bumping, then was approached and he tried to refuse. It's not like he stood up and declared himself more important than the rest the second the airline decided they were bumping people. He simply gave his reasons why he'd like to keep his seat on his flight, when approached to be bumped off his flight. If he'd stood up and declared his importance before being approached, and pulled the whole "do you know who I am" routine, then you'd have a point. As it stands, you don't.
