Dao's attorney kept mentioning that the pilot is in charge of the aircraft during his press conference yesterday.
The crew must be looking at legal bills that they expect the union to help pick up.

Just the Union’s Top guys showing their stuff for their guys. Nobody has blamed any pilots for anything..................
I do hate Unions. Bunch of thugs.
this could get good, pilots union vs police union.
I’m glad someone is finally pointing out this important detail.
Yes, United acted stupidly, but once United calls TSA or the cops, what happens next is in law enforcement’s hands. The Chicago Department of Aviation is the one that administered the beating on this guy.
Given the way the security state we now live in, especially with regards to flying, I’m not surprised.
Sounds like they are worried about jobs.

I have said all along that it was the cops who beat the guy up and dragged him off the plane. United did not do it.
“Nobody has blamed any pilots for anything.......”
YET! It’s called “covering your ass”
They overbooked, they ordered the hit.
Trying to focus all the blame on the cops and cover for the ground crew and management. I’ll presume at this point that the pilots weren’t innocent, either.
Not true, and you've seen enough of these threads to know that.
Sounds more like the Union elections are coming up...................

LOL!...............
And they’ll probably beat the $hit out of us if we disagree with them.

I think some low level local manager is the source for the cops being called.................who will probably be terminated...................
United fires the low level manager. The low level manager says he followed United procedures.
Dao's attorney has him testify in court in all those lawsuits and he's more than happy to stick it to his former employer who stuck it to him...
Dao was responsible for what happened. He should be in jail.
Yep!...............
