Why is everyone on the boycott United train??? United did not beat this guy up, Chico pd. "Thug pd" beat this my up. United turned the problem over to them when he refused to move, this is not United's fault people !!

Yes, it's United's fault. They did not follow their own procedure. If it wasn't United's fault the CEO wouldn't be apologizing

Come on man, seriously? How is this not United's fault? They allowed it to get to that point. They were several other options they could have made, beginning with not giving the boot to paying customers to fix their own staffing problems. Up the offer to have people voluntarily give up their seats. $800 wouldn't entice me at all even if I weren't in a rush. Had they bumped it to $1,500 - $2,000, I promise you people would have given up their seat, and with a smile on their face at that. It's called customer service.


Then the CEO had the audacity to call it "re-accommodating" their passengers and then when that got the masses riled up even more, he tries to place the blame on the cops? This POS should be out of a job by the end of the week. United has it coming to them, and I hope it hit hits them hard.

How they don't beat the guy up, the cop's did when he didn't abide by his contract with united that he agreed to when he bought the ticket! Read the fine print every airline dose it!!!

I am not trying to say that it was handled right by any means! But united employees did not beat the man up the cop's did.

We fly United a couple of times a year from Lake Charles to Los Angeles. The difference in fares flying from LKC and from Houston were pretty close. There was no justification in driving to Houston, leaving the car in long term parking, and having to drive home when we returned.

Recently they jumped the price of the tickets by about $100 per ticket each way. That is $400 for the two of us. We will be looking at going to Houston and flying on Southwest from Hobby.

You read it, it's a whole different ball of wax once he boarded the plane and left the terminal.

Dude had many chances to get off , Chicago PD ain't got time to play with a guy on plane

They offered $800 plus hotel room to get off it was not like they were just saying get off.

The airline has the right to refuse anyone as any business does .

I'm sure after 30mins or more talking to guy the PD said move or be removed

Not even PD's jurisdiction. He was on the Airplane. TSA should have been involved. United = Wrong and they gone pay!!!

I promise the airline read them all the fine print before turning over to PD
Dude wanted a fight ..


I'll give you a prime example

I needed to make a claim on my boat insurance so I went through all the procedures

When I get down to payment they tell me "in the fine print " it don't cover what I needed it for

So I raised hell and said why not I pay $1600 a year and so why not cover that issue ?

Guy said it's in the policy you signed !

Bottom line nothing I could do but if I went to that office and raised hell and said I'm not leaving because I paid for insurance blah blah

How would that end ?

Then why is the CEO apologizing??


For your reading pleasure

Can you say PAYCHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because it's an image thing not a right or wrong
PR nightmare

Funny how they only show 15secs of video but not the other hours before ?

I bet he don't get what you think he will

They will settle with him but for small fee any thing over couple 100k they will take to court where he will lose by jury

Because it will be all facts not 15secs of phone video

And bottom line is he signed the fine print

LOL you didn't read the article yet. Like I said, once he's on the airplane it's a whole different ball game. Read it dude.

Now that's funny as hell, a jury will wipe the floor with United. United will never let this see a court room. He will get paid and a LOT!!

Hahahahaha ok man, you gone see.

I'm not an attorney, but I don't have to be to know this cat will come out smelling like a rose. I'd love to hear any attorney's opinion on this particular situation, if there are any on the site. I don't see United or Chicago PD ever letting this get in front of a jury.

Agreed. Dude is gonna get paid. And nicely.


Can't find the link to back it up, but did hear on W&J that one of the other passengers asked for a $1600 voucher and was laughed at by United....Gonna wish they'd paid that now.

He may - if it ever goes to court - win a jury trial. But it would be immediately appealed and overturned when it goes through those proceedings. And the attorney would took it on contingency would get zero.

Only a dim-witted lawyer would take this to court.

Jury matters not at the appellate level, which is where this would go should a princely sum be awarded.
