United Airlines says it will compensate the cost of tickets for every passenger on Flight 3411, where a man was forcibly removed and dragged earlier this week, according to CNBC.
The news follows a second statement from United CEO Oscar Munoz, in which he said that "no one should ever be mistreated this way" — a pivot from his Monday statement. In the latter, Munoz said the passenger was "disruptive and belligerent."
United has been in hot water since the video first emerged on Sunday, with outraged social media users calling for a boycott and leaving the airline 1-star ratings on Yelp.

Blame lies at the feet of the pilot. He or she is in charge.
Not good enough. Imagine the traumatized kids on that play, and others? Our generation of snowflakes as well. United has a big hole to dig out of.
But, Gomez, their CEO, said just yesterday that the employees were practically god-like in their actions....
Is that no longer the case?
United is not going to recover from this for a long while. Was not a good idea to piss off the Asian community.
Note: If he sues he will lose.
He was taken off after a request was made by the airline to debark. The validity of the request is not a legal matter — see the contact of carriage.
Likewise, the cops are not targets since the passenger refused to comply with lawful orders.
Sorry folks — real life trumps appearances. This is flight Zimmerman.
The reapology was a day late and a dollar short.
They should have just offered more until they got volunteers. Would have been a lot cheaper.
But then, if you've ever flown United you know they're a bunch of arrogant SOB's.
And quite frankly...if you're inclined to call me a heartless pig you can save it.I've heard it all before.
Brilliant, I had said as much in another post, but in about 200+ more words, lol. I like this much better.
UAL is down one point.
Tomorrow it will probably bounce up as profit takers see it is a bargain and no one will remember this in even a month.
Munoz. Trying now to keep his job.
Well put.
Why? The passenger was wrong and ended up in a mess.
It was a FReeper who has the name of Cobra or something like that who said they should have offered actual money and not Monolopy money by way of vouchers. That would have gotten people to get off the plane faster.
Munoz is grossly incompetent. If the board doesn’t can him, then they need to be called out by name.
If he was competent, he would have gotten in front of the crisis.

So many people on FR are so disappointing. It is b/c they want to see airlines as evil.
It is the “facts be damned” attitude that is irking.
actually you made me laugh out loud.
Pretty sure the losers that weep at that video would never say “wetback”
I make about a dollar an hour, but I saw in a billionth of a second, as did the entire universe, that this was a pr nightmare.
Apparently, the eeo hire dumb ass, at one billion dollars per year, believed in his Zeus like powers to tough talk his way out of the mess.
