The federal government?
I don’t care if he is a convicted child rapist.
The issue here is the ability of the TSA and fascist nanny state to give out beatings at will
Shares were down by something like a billion dollars, but that would come back over time as people buy when it’s low.

The flight as not overbooked. Another airline had employees that needed to hitch a ride to catch their shift the next morning, so even though the passengers had already boarded United decided to bump four passengers to make room for four employees.
Put the employees in a rental car and have them drive.
United had the cops haul him off when he had committed no crime. The police should have told United it was not their problem. He wasn’t arrested, so he has a case for unlawful detainment against the LEO. Hope he gets rich on this. A good example of why I don’t fly.
CSX just cut 1,000 jobs. Many in my neighborhood of Florida. Total massacre.
I’d go at least 50 million possibly many times that. Preferably most of that from the personal income of the CEO.
Stupid should HURT. Bad. Make an example so that the next time any airline even *THINKS* of bumping they start the compensation off at enough to charter a jet to where you are going.
I don’t care if he was/is a saint or a dirtbag, I wouldn’t have been bumped without a serious fight, either, and wouldn’t even dream of taking less than ten grand to get off a flight.
So you are saying that his mental instability and public ineptitude is a recent thing?
Check their stock price. I’m sure they’d write him a check for $10 million right now, it would be cheap if it could undo this mess.

I did. UAL is at 70.71. They were at 71.53 on Monday.
Big Deal.
His resume is a bit sketchy.
A flight crew who was needed for a flight the next day was delayed due to in-climate weather and was needed for a flight leaving the destination airport the next day.
So yeah, employees just showed up without reservations at the last minute.
Pure BS and political correctness. Chicken CEO.
No. Not at all.
“The united employees showed up at the last minute looking for seats — they did not have reservations.”
If what I heard was correct, they were being relocated to cover a flight. They weren’t joyriding. That being said, United could have handled this whole thing a lot better.
United is also getting a bad rap about reports they charged him an extra fee. Not true. The first forcible removal from United is free.
NOW THAT IS FUNNY!
Shares were down by something like a billion dollars, but that would come back over time as people buy when it’s low.

Are you sure it wasn’t a trillion dollars?
Look, if you’re gonna make up sh!t, at least make some sense.
I don’t know who came up with that BS about UAL stock taking a dump, but it ain’t true.
