He aint gonna win nothing, he might get a lil settlement out of it though.

MIGHT.


When you buy those tickets you agree to all kind of terms of services. I'm shocked they even still offer people that much to give up there seats.

The guy being yanked off was a doctor who had patients he was scheduled to serve the next day. That's why he refused.
This looks even worse considering that United removed paying customers from the aircraft because they had to make room for more of their OWN EMPLOYEES on the flight.

Terrible, terrible PR will come from this. His payday will 'yuge.'

All airlines overbook but the manner in which this went down is a PR nightmare.

1) A doctor was trying to get back in time to attend to patients
2) United removed him to service its own employees
3) Security applied what will be viewed as an excessive use of force for all the world to see

United as an airline is already dealing with a bad rep for customer service. The CEO wants this to go away asap.

You're wrong.

This is a public relations armageddon. United, although possibly in the legal right (I'm not a lawyer so I don't know) is going to do everything they can to restore the public faith in their company.

That means they're gonna pay, and they're gonna pay big.

You guys saying he should've just got off have no idea what that guy had scheduled, a missed flight could be worth more than $800 depending on your personal life and what you had planned.


Edit- I just read he was a doctor, so not only did he have a legit reason to stay on, he actually has he finds to pursue a settlement.

How much you think it would've cost them to pay some overtime for a different crew to take a different flight there so they could staff whatever flight they needed them on :jbhmm:

Gonna cost these idiots more than that to fix this :sas1:

And whoever made the decision to drag Doc off... Hope you keep your resume up to date :sas2:
