“And stop with the “everybody dump on United”
I agree! It’s pitiful. Republic Airways is the airline involved in the incident, not United Airlines! Airport security dragged the doctor off the plane, not United employees!
THIS is how it went viral!
Tyler Bridges, a journalist from the Washington Post, was on the plane; his wife took the video of the man being dragged. Tyler Bridges made sure all the media outlets had his name and his report as a witness. I noticed his name was mentioned in every article thereafter. Then he appeared on cable news networks and talk shows starting on Monday. He reported it was a United Airlines plane and staff involved. The damage was done. He and the media got it wrong; it was Republic Airways. This article below explains it. Republic Airways have their own CEO, planes, pilots, flight attendants, gate agents, supervisors. They are NOT managed by United Airlines!
United Airline pilots are furious!
No need to watch the video. It’s the doctor’s lawyer blaming United. Oh...by the way...United has 86,000 employees and Republic Airways has 5,000 employees. Guess who has the most money for the doctor?

Whose name was on the outside of the aircraft? Whose logo was on the seats - napkins - uniforms?
