I don’t care what the airline did.
Flight Travel is not A RIGHT. The airline was well within their rights to do exactly what they did.
When weather patterns shift flights, they must get pilots to different cities or HUNDREDS of passengers will be stranded. An so then their seating takes precedence.
The airline could have explained better why it was a priority to get pilots to another location, but when the nice officer asks you to get off the plane you do not scream and fight with him.
Internal medicine? So... he had no emergency surgery scheduled? This guy is a pediatrician for adults. Is this guy someone who hands out vitamins? He could not have explained calmly he needed to see patients?
He got his ass kicked for being a jerk.
They DID let him back on the plane, so he must have been able to make the argument in his favor. He could have done so without the screaming (like a girl) and fighting with an officer.
“Flight Travel is not A RIGHT. The airline was well within their rights to do exactly what they did.”
They paid for the ticket!! I say boycott United!! ...oh wait..their stocks are DOWN...

Would you go to this doctor after this display?!
So it's okay to violate a passenger's rights, physically assault him, humiliate him alongside his family, just so the rights of other passengers on a future flight aren't violated?
They have to explain it, in writing. They did not. They didn’t want to, because they would have had to disclose to the person being bumped that they were being bumped by employees.
The carriage agreement is slanted way toward the airlines, but the one thing they have to do is explain it in writing.
The airline’s next move is to escalate it so they can establish interference, which is a very low bar to get over. Now you don’t need to explain it in writing.
Guy ran back on board. Now its a public mess and Congress will likely be on that contract.
You pay to be flown somewhere, so its an exchange. The airline was in the process of committing fraud by not supplying in writing the reason for the involuntary, and then provoking the passenger to establish interference.
As a matter of contract law, the airline’s got a lot of lawyers and probably knows the judge. As a matter of good faith, the other airlines are not happy that Congress will likely jump into regulatory mode on the contract.
As a matter of United, the CEO’s going to parachute, the underlings will likely be reassigned, because firing them will be public, and more messy, more longer.
If you buy a ticket to go somewhere, unless there is a physical reason why not, they should take you where you are going without much of a hassle, beyond that which was essentially required when we gave up most of our rights just to get into the airport.
So, there you go.
This will cost United a bunch of money, but in the end, Uncle Sugar needs the airlines to get our military people where they need to go, so nothing permanently bad is going to happen to United.
They did not “let him back on the plane”.
They left him, unconscious, in the hallway thingy while they went to get a wheelchair. He woke up. No one was around, so he ran back onto the plane!
The best homos IMO are old married homos who trade pills for anal secks!
