They screwed the pooch. By law they are required to offer up to $1350 domestic and $5000 international. They offered $800. Then they assaulted and battered the guy. They are blued screwed and tattooed. 5 mil is the lowest settlement IMHO that will come out of this.
And if true he is doctor with patients waiting, they have screwed the pooch big time
Wow so much misinformation in this thread.
They do not have to offer $1350 for voluntary bumps, that is the max domestic compensation for involuntary bumps. I have never seen them offer more than $800 for voluntary bumps.
United did not beat anyone. That’s airport police.
There is NO chance of a lawsuit award against united.
Requirements and comps for involuntary bumps are established by government regulation, and confirmed in the united contract for ticket purchases.
They try to minimize them by asking for volunteers first, and usually they don’t have to get people out of a seat after they board.
Actually, it was Chicago Department of Aviation security officers who manhandled him.
They are blued screwed and tattooed.
