United are a bunch of cheapskates. Throw more money. This is their fault not the customer. When no one accepted the $800 they needed to go $1000 no takers, $2000, no takers $3000. Plan B should not have been alright rough the guy up fellas and throw him off the plane.

It's in the agreement when you buy the ticket. I've been bumped off a united flight before. It sucks. I don't fly united anymore. I was in a foreign country with little money left and freaking out. I talked to customer service and ended up with a free cab ride from Belfast to Dublin, a new flight and a 750 credit for the future. Thats how you handle it. You don't refuse to leave (breaking the law). I've had jobs where Ive had to physically remove people from property and I hated doing it.

Do they just randomly decide? They had a computer basically do a RNG to decide the unlucky 4 who will be forced off the plane. This reminds me of that time I was on an overbooked SWA flight to Florida, when no one volunteered to accept free over night lodging + next day flight + one free round trip USA ticket + $500. SWA kept raising the package deal, until the deal became too good to pass up. United could have done better, to make up for their over booking policy, which was at fault. Like yeah $800's and a hotel is fine and dandy, but it's just better PR to give better incentives. --- "Yare yare daze" ~ Jotaro Kujo "Children are pure, they know who's the strongest." ~ MaskDeSmith ...

Nobody ever said it was random. Just that a computer did it.
It seems likely that they only consulted the computer so that they could blame the computer for choosing who it did. Though you would expect such, there's no guarantee that the computer chose at random. It could have picked the lowest weight passenger, the last to board, the one with the longest name, the one that has thr most "red flags" (as the company sees it), or just the first one in the list that is whatever demohraphic the programmer didn't like. --- ...

They overbook because some people inevitably don't end up on the flight for whatever reason. If they booked the exact amount of seats they have they'd end up flying with empty seats Ah yes. But again, if you buy a ticket and don't show up, they get to keep your money. Sure, they might rebook you or whatever, but they will not give you any money back. The passengers miss most of their flights because of the airline's fault as well (e.g. ridiculously short time windows between connecting flights, delayed flights, mechanical failures, etc), and airline have ridiculously high margins, it's not like not overbooking like crazy will make them go into red or something --- Nov. 3 = best day in Gamefaqs history! ~I don't have any alternate accounts~ Welcome to the Minus World!: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1247-the-minus-world ...
