Turns out the Doctor is a convicted felon who was giving narcotics out in exchange for sex. His dirty laundry would not of been let out if he would not of thought he was more important than the rest of the passengers.

I think it's one of those Liberal news events
You only see 15secs of a hour ardeal Airline can refuse anyone the right to fly Don't matter race , color, financial status ! It's on their policies They asked him to be moved for over 30 mins and he refused . So this was not Airline security it was Chicago police officers

In this day and age, why would you mess with security in an airport or on a plane? Seems crazy to me.

I don't see how his criminal history is relevant here.
He paid for the seat and was on the plane when they decided some airline employees deserved his seat. Stupid move by United this will cost them millions. Help me understand why airlines overbook flights. Thank God sporting events have better technology than airlines. Imagine sitting down at say an Lsu game and being told I'm sorry you paid $75 for this seat we also sold it to someone else so get up or we will beat the hell out of you. |

Hotels overbook inventory as well. It is based on an expected attrition or "no show" percentage, and is an attempt to maximise revenue by achieving as close to 100% or better occupancy. In the hotel business one usually has a backup plan to "walk" clients to nearby comparable accommodations in a bad situation. Kinda looks like a manager somewhere put the company needs ahead of customers and skrewed the pooch

It's my understanding that airlines operate on very thin margins. They have no-shows factored in. Sometimes they figure wrong and it's feasible - if a little uncomfortable - to eat some vouchers when things go wrong.

Very thin margins, you are right. All of the major airlines other than southwest have been in bankruptcy at some point. Times have been good with low fuel prices for them the last three years.

The flight was not overbooked. The flight was full of paying customers. United had a sick crew in Kentucky and decided to bump 4 paying customers off the plane to solve it's staffing issues. They could have put them in car and drove them 4 hours to their destination. They could have chartered a private flight. They could offered up better incentives to get 4 volunteers to give up their seat. Instead they did what any sensible company would do to solve their staffing issues, they jack booted 4 customers off the plane assaulting one in the process. Makes no matter what this dudes past is, no one knew that at the time. He will be compensated nicely and United better hope he don't have any blood born illness or United will pay everyone on that plane A LOT through that class action lawsuit. They could have offered some decent incentives to get volunteers, instead they lost over 200 million in the expected stock plummet.

Also, United sucks. Their flights are always delayed or you sent on the runway for 20-30 minutes before or after your fight. I fly them only went I have NO other choice. |
