I’m sorry, but you gave no coherent answer which matches my question.
I’ll simplify this. You can choose:
1. United Airlines did everything perfectly correct. Piss on that Chinese doctor.
2. United Airlines has had second thoughts and is so very exceedingly sorry and moreover all of the passengers deserve compensation.
3. United Airlines is even more double-extra sorry than option #2 above, and is beheading their nitwit CEO while furiously trying to stop the bleeding during the height of the nation’s airline ticket buying season.
I'm not a lawyer so I'm not qualified to answer this question (yes,legality is all that matters to me).I'm inclined to think that United *was* within its rights,legally,to demand that he leave the aircraft and,having refused to do so,they had the legal right to have him removed forcefully.
OTOH,if I'm wrong on that point my basic attitude would be at least a bit different...a bit more sympathetic to the guy.Not *entirely* sympathetic,mind you.His juvenile tirade was an absolute disgrace....an act that strongly points to a deep psychiatric disorder.In the same situation I would have,upon meeting the security people,stood up,walked with them and,as I was leaving,I would have said clearly yet calmly..."by the time I'm done I'll own this airline".
How about you? A tirade...or a calmly delivered promise of legal consequences?
Just askin'....
