So we should have a class system where some people are more important than others? Should a private pilot be bumped before or after a fireman? Obviously fucking lawyers should be the first to be thrown off a flight.....preferably just after takeoff.They should make it standard procedure to keep doctors on flights in any circumstance. People will be very grateful when a medical emergency arises.
Bankrupt them. Force them out of business. Buy stock in Greyhound and AmTrak.If there were an Amazon.com alternative to airlines, United would be delisted and bankrupt
I was given the nickname Divine Wind when I transferred from the Marine Corps to the Navy due to my Spartan attitude of "Come home with your shield or upon it". Some liked the attitude, some did not. Overall, command liked it.[
Again, you assume to much. You are making an emotional appeal, not a logical one. I've simply posted about the law. Feel free to quote where I support it or not.
In fact, I've posted several times that the situation could have been handled better; namely by deplaning the entire aircraft then embarking only authorized passengers.
What you seem to overlook is that Dr. Dao ran back onto the airplane. If you are really a doctor, what is your assessment of his behavior? Do you know the Federal law about air transportation of unruly passengers?
Of course I'm not a doctor, much like it is unlikely you are a Divine Wind, unless you have been eating beans...;o) I'm looking at the bigger picture. The law, who instigated it and why...it is dumb law...

No. It could have been handled better as I've stated repeatedly before.So in your opinion what we saw in the video is perfectly okay?For what? United, or their subcontractor Republic, did nothing wrong.If $800 wasn't sufficient inducement they could have gone to $1,000, then $1,200, and so on until someone finally accepted. Instead they chose brute force.The airline offered $400 and then $800 for volunteers. This is for volunteering for a flight that leaves 3PM the NEXT DAY
[...]
I hope they are hit with a $1,000,000 punitive award.
Who called the police goon squad?Interesting that you admit dishonesty. Still, the facts are clear. At the last minute, the airline needed to make room on a full flight for four crewmembers to work another flight in the morning. They offered travel vouchers to people and when that failed, asked passengers to give up their seats, even though they'ed be given the vouchers and/or check. Dao refused to leave. The airline called the police, When Dao refused to obey the police, they forced off non-compliant passenger. The rest is history.What do you mean "come clean"? Up to now, you've been playing bullshit word games.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?
You falsely claimed on several posts that it was the airline that forced him off. It wasn't. It was the Chicago police.
We'll see. If you travel by air, get used to more cancellations due to airlines protecting themselves from liability.Bankrupt them. Force them out of business. Buy stock in Greyhound and AmTrak.If there were an Amazon.com alternative to airlines, United would be delisted and bankrupt
They're bankrupting themselves with their "fuck my customers" attitude

$25 Gold USMB membership bet I'm right and you are wrong?We'll see. If you travel by air, get used to more cancellations due to airlines protecting themselves from liability.Bankrupt them.

Not a chance. Not a fucking chance. The airlines will probably never relocate a passenger again
A customer with a paid ticket and boarding pass was trespassing?United Airlines.

Careful here, Mike, you'll start to look like a LIBERAL! LOL
Luddly Neddite, still waiting dude. Take your time. No rush.A lie since I never claimed that, but after spanking your ass all across this thread, I can understand why you are so butthurt. No, I don't know everything. However, I do know a lot about this particular topic.Like I said, ask Divine.Wind - He says he knows everything.
Or, if its important to you, there's always Google. Just be aware that the news stories are all wrong and Divine.Wind is right.
Yes, I highly recommend everyone use Google to verify sources and double check references. I've included links to the FAA, United's Contract of Carriage and other sources to back up my statements. Your choice to ignore them and just pull opinions out of your ass.

Yes. Check the law. Are you asserting he had a "right" to that seat even though he agreed to the carriage contract?A customer with a paid ticket and boarding pass was trespassing?United Airlines.

IMO, it's a matter of profit; the most bang for the buck.So we should have a class system where some people are more important than others? Should a private pilot be bumped before or after a fireman?

They can make a few exceptions like they would for someone who is very famous.

Want to take down United Airlines? Go for it. Force them to never, ever bump a passenger for aircrew again. Ever.
Now think about that the next time your flight is cancelled for lack of aircrew.
Great! They'll just cancel the next day's flight. Happy now?We'll see. If you travel by air, get used to more cancellations due to airlines protecting themselves from liability.Bankrupt them.

Or they could put stunning devices on all their seats to make passenger removal easier.
I have no problem with passing laws recognizing passenger rightsFine. Sue them. Change the law. Force them to cancel the flight rather than risk a multi-million dollar lawsuit. That'll show'em!United acted like a little bitch when nobody would accept their pathetic offers of compensation
You and I do not think alike so you have no way of anticipating what I would do under any circumstances.United Airlines. You know, just like you would if someone broke the law in your business or trespassed on your property.
I would prefer looking like a Liberal than an authoritarian nitwit.Careful here, Mike, you'll start to look like a LIBERAL! LOL
