Yeah, those high-paid UA lawyers are good at their craft, aren't they?

First of all it's their fault they overbooked.
Second one phone call and they could have confirmed he was really a doctor and had patients he needed to see the next day! Can understand that takes priority over everyone else. This man had lives to save.
Can remember sometime when Sen. Byrd was alive they tried to do this to him and he would not back down be cause he was a Senator. They were too afraid to go against him. Anyone else recall this? Well if Sen. Byrd does not have to get off then neither does this man or anyone else.
Next time an airline overbooks they better get another aircraft and quick!!
Poor guy. All he did was complain about the in-flight movie. ;)
Meanwhile, other stories indicate he had drugs to trade and gay sex acts to perform.
Let's not make of him a Saint just yet.
He is probably being inundated by lawers because they can hear CHA_CHING.
Girl it’s United Airlines....what movie?
Evidence?
The NY post has reported on his crimes.
First of all it’s their fault they overbooked.
...
They are allowed to overbook. It keeps fares lower, and that’s the number one concern of passengers. The doctor purchased a service that allowed the provider to remove him from the flight. He’s the one who didn’t live up to the agreement.
It's in the posted article, and apparently other news sources.

I resent the fact that this man’s wife and children are being dragged into this too. Their privacy is now gone.
There is no justification for publishing that information in the daily mail, or HERE.

I found that over at WT however a good pulmonologist is in short supply.
Someone compared his screams to James Brown’s singing, lol. Yeah, he apparently has had many arrests for selling prescription drugs, gambling debts, etc. Also a major drama queen aside from actually being a queen.
It happened back in 2004 and looks as if he has not reoffended.
Yeah, those high-paid UA lawyers are good at their craft, aren't they?
He has not reoffended since 2004. Trust me they watched him like a Hawk. If he did it since he would not be a doctor at all. I figured he learned his lesson and did not do that again.
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.
He got back on the plane afterwards.
