Incompetent United Air Lines Physically Drags Passenger Off Plane For Their (Airline) Mistake

not only that the airline would provide a hotel room for that NIGHT leaving the passenger to fend for himself from check out time (around 8 am ) untill flight departure .. cash might have helped get volunteers .
Exactly!

The very reason for the overbooking and the subsequent removal was profit-based. Rather than offer money as an inducement for random passengers to inconvenience themselves they prefer to use brute force. And if not for cell-phone videos they would quietly have gotten away with it.

Yep, he could have but he bought a plane ticket....
...and read the Contract of Carriage when he did. Afterall, he's a doctor, right? Is it too much to assume he knows how to read?

He could have taken an earlier flight or checked in earlier. He could have bought a ticket on another airline, a bus or rented a car. The world was his oyster. Yet, his choice was to violate the law and tell the police to throw someone else off the plane because he was too important.

It was United Airlines that claimed its employees are more important than paying customers

If they were, United would have made arrangements for their transport earlier and would not have them show up at the gate once the plane was fully loaded and demand seats

The Contract of Carriage says United can do whatever they want to their passengers....and that is what they did
Their CEO celebrated how good his employees are at following directions and blamed the passenger for being upset after they asked him so nicely to leave

United won that confrontation.....now they are a glaring example of how not to treat your customers

Won't matter. United will make a generous offer to make him go away. If they do not, a jury will take a bite ten times the size of what United could have settled for.

Agree...I think United wants this one to go away
A lawsuit going to trial will bring this embarrassment back into the headlines

They will offer one of those "no admittance of fault" settlements
 
I would hope they pony up a million or 2.....in my mi d that seems right. Its weird that no matter what some of you will always support the corporation....no matter what.

Everything turned to crap when they were allowed to buy Continental. The government should break them up like Standard Oil.

It amazes me how quickly they rallied to dig up dirt on the victim

That is what they do best
 
Great! Our wonderful 'journalists' are now digging into the past of the 69yo doctor who was bloodied / dragged off the United Airline flight and are 'launching a smear campaign' against him.

What does a prior conviction 13 years ago have to do with being dragged off a United flight?

NOTHING...but 'Inquiring minds Want to Know'.


Now Reporters Are Smearing That 69-Year-Old, Bloodied United Passenger
'Smear Story' run by TMZ, Courier-Journal (USA Today affiliate), NY Daily, NY Post, Washington times....
 
No bet since they obviously did. Now. I bet you, contrary to your assertion that United airlines did it, that someone else did. $1000 bet. Your call.
Dude, everyone knows they brought in the local sheriff to do the dirty deed.
Finally you come clean and honest! Yes, just like a business owner with a belligerent, raging customer, the airline notified the Chicago police.

Now, if you had reported Rodney King for drunk driving, does this make you responsible for the actions of the LAPD?

Of course they do. No airline wants bad PR, but this is now in the hands of the Feds and the State. Mr. Dao could end up on the No-Fly list due to his "law enforcement issues". 8 ways you can end up on the no-fly list

OTOH, I fail to see what lawsuit United needs to settle. Dao agreed to the terms of Carriage, all was done properly. Just because Dao refused to comply with lawful police orders is not the fault of United.
 
Spin it like Bill Clinton claiming he never smoked pot or never had sex with that woman but facts are facts and law is law.
Have a really nice fucking day!

Here we are, almost 200 posts in and I still don't know what your fucking point is? Cut the foreplay and state what your point is.
That you don't know what you are talking about on this issue. It took dozens of posts for you to admit it was the police who hauled off Dao, not United airlines.

Physically bloodying and dragging a passenger off their jet was done 'properly'?

Was United 'Over-booking' their flight done 'properly'?

Was United dictating to the passengers they were going to pull names randomly out of a 'hat' and those picked MUST take their offer and leave the jet voluntarily or be dragged off the jet 'properly done'?

Did the good doctor AGREE to accept that solution, agree that if he was chosen he would take their offer and leave quietly, giving up the seat he had purchased and had already been given by being allowed to get on the plane?

That's a good one

It will only add to his settlement with United
