No. The doctor in question was disciplined years ago, and his license is restored, and he is allowed to practice medicine. He currently practices medicine. Good doctor, bad doctor, person you don’t want keeping your kids, etc. This is not the issue; this is a smear campaign designed to rehabilitate United Airlines’ damaged reputation. This man was not dragged off that flight because of his past sins: He was dragged off because he didn’t comply with being forced to give up his seat for a United employee. For $800. Last time I flew, I was flying to my youngest daughter’s college graduation. She graduated with honors in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. Her dad is dead, and I’m the only parent. Had they tried to drag ME off that plane, there would have been even MORE blood AND a lawsuit.
$800 in UAL Monopoly Money, which is worth about $200 in actual cash.
Here's a clue for United Airlines: Next time, maybe try bumping passengers BEFORE BOARDING THEM.
Or hey, United Airlines, the fact that you do such a lousy job managing your flights that you have to bump passengers after they've boarded, next time, give some REAL incentives to bump passengers WHO HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN IN THEIR SEATS. Like real cash, not your stupid Monopoly Money vouchers (that are worth about 1/4 of what you say they are) that one can only use on limited red-eye flights. And if you don't have takers after upping the ante (which you didn't do beyond what other airlines do BTW), then when you do your STUPID "random" bump and someone doesn't want to play, re-do the "random" bump and bump someone else.
But I don't care, United Airlines. I hope after this fiasco you go the way of Arthur Andersen.
