I point out that part of the conditions of the ticket is that you may be bumped from your flight. You are making a baseless claim that this is an unenforceable term, and as evidence you state that they cannot claim ownership over your house and car, something totally unrelated to the air travel agreement being entered into. --- Got questions about schoolwork?

Putting "we may choose to just not give you this service at any time" after selling you the service is illegal. Do you think the Airline should be legally allowed to kick off every passenger and just fly around with an empty plane? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

They're selling you the flight with the caveat that if they overbook they can bump you, delaying but not cancelling service, and they are legally required to provide you compensation. Think about that. There are laws specifying that they have to provide compensation when they legally bump you. Let that sink in and maybe you'll realize that maybe they're allowed to bump you, because it's in the agreement and not an unenforceable term. --- Got questions about schoolwork?

Overbooking is not a good approach here as it's also illegal to sell things that you don't fucking have. Edit: They also didn't overbook anyway. there were 3 empty seats. They wanted a 4th. --- ...

I mean I'll admit I myself would've been pissed if they "randomly" chose me and/or my wife as well. Yes, and the man's situation would be similar to them beating your wife in the face and then dragging her out while she's dazed but still screaming. Something tells me you, and everyone else here, would not be saying, "Well, honey, you should have 'volunteered' to get off, but now you have to get your ass whooped because of the fine print." --- ... ...

They needed 4 seats and there were only 3. At this point I'm not sure if you're just trolling and this is an example of Poe's law, because I know you're not uneducated. But your arguments lack even the most basic premises of logic so I'm going to stop talking to you about this now. --- Got questions about schoolwork? Want to share answers, or discuss your studies?

It's not like it was a family of 4 that also paid for their tickets. So no, nothing was overbooked because the people trying to get on the plane didn't book anything. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Actually if they did choose me and my wife, I would be pissed but I would go outside and talk with customer service reps to give me and my wife a better incentive or work out a better solution or something. I wouldn't go violent. Of course that still doesn't excuse how they handled the situation though. It's shitty all around to kick a person off the plane when they're already seated. What wolverine said was correct though, they should've done the thing before they boarded. --- "Yare yare daze" ~ Jotaro Kujo "Children are pure, they know who's the strongest." ~ MaskDeSmith ...

Also, the security guard who dragged the man out has apparently been suspended till further notice. Looks like the first bit of good news has come out of this. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Update.
2 faced United CEO sends a cryptic, half assed pseudo-apology to the public, then secretly gives a pat on the back to United employees and basically tells them well done: http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/10/united-ceo-passenger-disruptive-belligerent.html Wasn't this CEO put there because United had a HUGE PR disaster back in 2005 and the previous CEO was ousted? It seems they got a corporate culture issue here. Imagine hating your own customers this much. ... Copied to Clipboard!

gatorsPENSbucs posted...Was that the dude screaming? Damn, I dont know if there's a longer video but from those few seconds I'd say dragging was probably the right decision. Um, nah, I would have gotten out of my seat and got off the plane. And why does it matter that the dude is a doctor.... I've been wondering that, do people only care about this story because it was a doctor? Same shit with this color person did something to this color person. If the dude worked at foot locker it would have never even been mentioned, but omg he's a doctor he's amazing he should have whatever he wants!!!!! --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe if he was the best surgeon in the world and the only person capable of performing a surgery. If he worked in a clinic and it was routine check ups then appointments can be rescheduled or they can see another doctor. If it was a hospital there are a pool of doctors and this guy missing a day won't impact anything. --- Give me your tired, your poor,Your masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed, to me. ...

I've missed flights, been bumped, lost luggage and charged extra bull shit free that other airlines dont/didn't have. I hate them. I mostly started commenting because everyone was talking about the security/cop /Marshall or whatever he was. I've done that job. I can emphasize with the guy being demonized for legally removing a trespasser. I've stated that this was handled wrong and that I don't like the policy but it's the policy that exists that this guy agreed to. I also hate all this "he needed to see patients." I worked in a hospital. He didn't. --- Give me your tired, your poor,Your masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed, to me. ... Copied to Clipboard!
