“Except it wasn’t an overbooked flight, even by United’s admission. And even if it were that is not how those are dealt with by any other airline on any other day.”
United is exhibiting a profound ability to do stupid at every opportunity. Reportedly, some guy was asleep laying across three seats which included this couples two seats. So, United staff, instead of waking this guy up and telling him to sit up in his assigned seat. Tells the couple to go wake him up and tell him to get out of their seats. It’s not the passengers responsibility to police seat assignments. That’s the attendants job to do this. So, UA is legitimately earning all its bad publicity, law suits, etc, coming it’s way, fair and square. No sympathy here....

Is this part of the story in the thread? I didn’t see anything like that.
