United Airlines is reportedly compensating all customers who were on the flight in which a passenger was forcibly removed from his seat.
All customers on the flight will be compensated for the cost of their tickets, CNBC reported Wednesday.
JUST IN: United says all customers on flight 3411, where a man was dragged off, are receiving compensation for the cost of their tickets. — CNBC (@CNBC) April 12, 2017
Video surfaced earlier this week of security personnel violently dragging a passenger in Chicago from his seat after the man refused to give up his spot to an airline staffer.
The video sparked national outrage and calls for congressional investigations.

Or the cops who dragged him off the plane? Why nothing about them either?
The 3 cops are now suspended. You can’t just give a beatdown because an airline asks you.
After he collects millions from United, he’s collecting again from the Chicago Airport Police.
do you have a link?
Exactly! They’ve always said the Captain is the final authority on a plane, they can’t lay this off on some flight attendant or clerk.
First thing I thought. Wonder if the compensation comes with a legal paper to sign...
... in exchange for their continued silence on the issue.
I’d like to see that contract.
They might as well throw money around for all the good it will do now. The damage to United’s reputation will last a generation and cost untold millions of dollars. United only wanted to fly four crew members to another location for a flight the following morning. There were any number of different ways that could have been done; the crew could even have flow in from some different city. Instead, this is this the result United got by treating their paying customers like dirt — or baby seals. Is this the result United wanted? That’s the answer to who is at fault here.
Mean girl....
What a pathetic joke. They should of dragged that bastard out by his ears.
I learned at age 18 to comply with the cops even if I felt they were wrong and save it for the judge.
Take notes and tell it to the judge,arguing with a guy with a gun is stupid.
Yeah I know these guys were not armed.
No point in arguing with those authorized to use force
Some TSA agent took my hot sauce and penknife at Christmas, Did I Pitch a fit?
Remember when fling was a pleasure?
Well now the same people who demanded this kind of BS are complaining the loudest.
And believe me this ahole would have been dealt with in the old days.
Nope, I said this sucks *** and flying since 9/11 is why it sucks
From what I heard, after his 1st beatdown, he was left unconscious in the gateway while they left him alone to get a wheelchair.
He then staggered back into the plane and got another beatdown.
He's hit the Powerball and Megamillions both.
I think they should compensate EVERYONE who was troubled by this story, on either side of the argument.
Five grand apiece would suit me fine.
p.s. My cats are greatly unsettled by the screams as well.
We have thousands of news people in this country, and not one of them wants to talk to the Captain of this flight?
Something’s not right.
Deport that Chinese SOB back to China. I'm sick and tired of the whiny broads on that flight. They made things WORSE, as usual.
You cant just resist arrest especially on a plane in this day and age.
The people demanded this level of security.
I hate it too, but I bet Dr Doa is one of the hand ringers that demanded TSA and Homeland security
If we're making up law as we go, why not just dissolve United and bring back Continental Airlines with their old personnel they weren't nearly this stupid.
Try to board a submarine without authorization.
Hell a top side watch pulled a gun on Admiral Rickover.
“Anything else?”
Yeah, ifinnigan’s oars don’t touch the water! He was prattling about this poor guy yesterday in the same vein. Must be a retired cop!
There is video of that, and he is completely disheveled and appeared confused saying, “I need to go home...I need to go home”.
Amen wheres my cut?
Frickin idiots
