Are you saying he deserved to have his face bloodied and be dragged off the plane?
It was not an overbook. Overbooks are when there are too many paying passengers. He was allowed to board the plane and THEN they decided to remove 4 pax so employees could fly to their next assignment. If this was an issue they should not have boarded the aircraft until the issue was resolved, then boarded.
He was clearly uncooperative, but thus far there is no proof of him being belligerent.
The first story is that it was overbooked!! It says 4 people were ask to volunteer to leave. When 4 did not volunteer then those were chosen by computer.
This man said he could not because he was a doctor and he had patients to see on Monday. One call could have confirmed this and the computer should have “chosen” someone else.
I’m agreeing with other FReepers United ought not “overbook” flights. If they are going to do this then they better produce another aircraft and quick even if its a Cessna for those 4 people that were “overbooked”.
Yes I’ve been following this story from the beginning, just did not post it until now.
