Well it didn't take the screamer long to get his lawyers lined up

I am certainly glad that I didn't fly United two years ago on a trip to NYC..

Or 16 years ago from BOS to LAX?

The solution was so damn simple.

1. Offer cash to sustomers.

If no takers put your excess crew...
2. on the next flight.
3. on a charter.
4. in a rental car.

Easier and cheaper to refund the $16,000 in tickets and ferry both the aircraft and extra crew to SDF thus preserving the 70 tickets in the morning and their connections.

That is not a reasonable solution financially. Do that enough & passengers are going to ditch you for the competition. My solution has no impact on their customers

Actually, it's the most low cost/low risk situation. Obviously not an every day solution, but this wasn't an every day situation. Nonetheless, once new laws are passed, like the limitations on tarmac time, the airlines will react in the lowest cost/lowest risk position possible.

Competition? The laws you are suggesting affect all the airlines equally.

41000 people booted from over booked flights last year. Clearly, an everyday issue as well as terrible management

Biggest offender? Southwest Airlines. United is actually pretty low. Again, I'm fine with passing a law against overbooking. It'll just mean either less seats or more expensive seats plus a lot more "non-refundable" tickets. Pass the laws and let the airlines adapt.

The good doctor will never have to work again.
All the blame is on United, throwing paying passengers off a flight so their employees can fly free!
That is no way to run an airline.

If the "good doctor" was on drugs and/or convicted of multiple violations of Federal and State laws, he may never work again period.

What makes you think he was on drugs? He may have in the past been convicted of multiple violations of Federal and State laws but that is old news and has nothing to do with his treatment from UAL.

His behavior was erratic from the beginning. Since he went to the hospital one of the first things they'll do is drug test him.

Mentally ill, most likely.

Most leftist douchebags are.

Be careful what you support champ.

I'm telling you the law. Want to change it? That's fine with me. Be careful what laws you choose to break "champ", you might regret it.

LOL. I think Dao jumped the shark when he compared his experience to the evacuation of Saigon.

The doctor will never see his suit come to trial

United will pay him big time to have this go away

Probably. Still, that won't cut any ice with the Feds and maybe not the City of Chicago or the State of Illinois.

If they let Dao get away with this, we're sure to see repeated attempts of the same thing.

Odd....
When he was speaking to airport security he seemed quite calm and was trying to establish his rights

He didn't act irrationally until they beat the shit out of him

I'm content to wait for the trials....if he doesn't take multiple plea deals.

He's an old man.

He's not some hardass who's led a tumultuous life. I expect that was the most violent moment in his life since Saigon.

What specific laws did he break? Was he charged with breaking any laws?

He won't be charged unless the city is as dumb as some of these posters. Charging him, only to lose to a jury and then lose even more money in the inevitable lawsuit, would be the height of stupidity & mismanagement.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

The Chicago City Council is already bitching about the use of police in this situation. Anyone who thinks he'll be charged is smoking good shit or just not very smart

The crew on United flight 3411 was trying to make room for four employees of a partner airline who needed to get to Louisville by Monday morning to crew another flight, and had asked for four volunteers to give up their seats.

They weren't even United employees for Christ's sake. Add to that, they didn't need to be at their destination until near a week later.



Beyond stupid

Because it wasn't a United flight, it was a Republic flight.

It's always instructive when some jackboot authoritarian citizen-abuse event happens ---- who comes out on which side.

Always instructive, rarely surprising.

To a conservative the worst possible crime is not accepting, without question, instructions from 'authority'.
