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.

“Except United had no legal right to force him to give up his seat for someone else once he boarded the aircraft.”
Actually United had the legal right and each passenger’s prior agreement.
Can you reference a source that says he is not the poker doctor?
I think it is him and confusion was that a Louisiana doctor was him.
But, I only know what I’ve read.
on what grounds?...a bloody lip?...
I’m Shocked Sean Spicer aint gone, But Munoz is a no brainer.
Apparently you think this is the grovel to anyone who works for the government forum.
My sister-in-law went out in her Zociac to retrieve her boat that had broken loose from its mooring overnight and drifted toward the Bangor nuclear submarine base a couple of miles from her house.
Yes, armed Marines did almost make her wet her pants. But, in the end they were nice enough to help her get to the boat and get it back home.
Munez’s days are over. Is he even a citizen. His family apparently came here illegally.
On the radio show John and Ken on KFI640am they had people calling in with their stories of bad airline treatment.
They can boot him at the gate, once he’s boarded and in the seat its different criteria.
And just because United wants to give his seat to an employee isn’t in that criteria.
You’re right. Will not fly with United after this.
Flew with Jet Blue last month. No problems...
I am sure it’s all true.
People take security seriously.
I can’t believe this ever made it to the news. A mentally deranged passenger acted like a child and had to be dragged off the plane like a petulant child and 5 out 6 six are siding with the idiot passenger. What the heck is wrong with people!?
He was asked politely 3 times before physical removal was necessary. He had two choices. Leave the plane like a man or be dragged off like a toddler. He chose the latter. End of story.
It wasn’t him, you are wrong
I simply don’t think you are correct.
A business can boot anyone for just about anything and in this case the agreement when one buys a ticket is that any passenger can be bumped.
Doesn’t matter of one has boarded the plane or not.
And, let’s say it did matter, he was off the plane and ran back on without being boarded.
I am not condoning the airline policy or behavior of the airport cops.
I am pointing out another side of it that to my mind is obvious via-a-vis his childlike behavior.
Adults do not throw temper tantrums like a child in the terrible twos, even if being treated unfairly.
He wasn't being arrested... he was being improperly ejected from a flight because the airline screwed up and placed the comfort and convenience of its pampered union employees over their paying customers.
Thanks.
I don’t disbelieve you. Do you have a reference?
Was that today on their show? John was out of his mind again yesteday on this. He is right.
Read the terms and conditions.
Airlines have sucked ****’s with pointy teeth since 9/11
Agree to it and there is little you can do, but wiener boy found a way.
Actually, it does matter and that is the heart of the issue. In fact nothing else is relevant... it doesn't matter how he acted AFTER they abused him, it doesn't matter what his criminal past was, and it doesn't matter if he screamed when tased.
The ONLY thing that matters is the question of why UAL didn't deal with their employees' seating arrangements when they were supposed to do so... BEFORE boarding passengers and not after.
Nope, it’s the don’t be a dumb*** forum.
