The United Airline's pilots union released a statement on Thursday regarding Dr. David Dao's violent removal from Flight 3411 originating out of Chicago on Sunday.
The union contended that the Chicago Department of Aviation's 'grossly inappropriate response' was to blame for the events that transpired, according to the United Master Executive Council's statement.
The United Master Executive Council represents the airline's 12,500 pilots.
The statement also pointed out that the plane from which Dr. Dao was ejected was one of which that was separately owned and operated by Republic Airlines.

This video shows one of the men who spoke to him before the physical altercation took place. It’s the only one where I’ve seen any photo of the authority figure. Often these show everything but the face of the person.

You haven’t watched a video of his removal, have you? The “officer” slams the doctor’s head against the armrest of the aisle seat, at which point, the doctor goes limp.
Repositioning crews can be accomplished in other ways than IDBing paying passengers. I’m not arguing out of emotion—if I truly believed that Mr. Dao breached the contract, I would say so, but I don’t.
A lot of people think of themselves as the 'center of the universe' and modern wisdom also embraces violence as the default way to resolve conflict.
Not the most rational or adult solution.
That is the heart of the problem, it was not always that way.
Not hard to figure you out, right?

Which operational rule, just curious, mandated UA to randomly select passengers to be ejected?
You seem unaware that the "victim" did get off the aircraft, pretended to accede, then snuck back on the plane with the replacement crew; that's when TSHTF...
With certain personalities, ignorance is bliss.
Or are you just pretending not to know that?
"Juvenile" is an understatement.
A door, huh?
Creepy......checking on my history and stuff. Weird...mental. Psycho material.
>>>>He didn’t get the crap beat out of him. He was injured while being dragged off the plane — which was exactly what he told the aviation security staff to do.
Case closed. Give him a refund for his airline ticket and send him home with a lollipop.>>>
Best response ever! Exactly....give the drama queen a lollipop. Fool.
“United flies 4 nonstops each Sunday from it’s Chicago hub to Louisville, and there was still one flight scheduled a few hours later.”
Seems like I remember that the next flight was also fully booked. Passengers were told that the next United flight was the next afternoon.
Right, Comrade?
YOU DON'T SAY.
: )
Before you get all sanctimonious on us, perhaps you can arrange to get yourself fully informed.
Just a thought.
Now it thinks I’m a liberal. Paranoid, stalking, creepy......freaky. Weird.
Thanks.
You are so thoughtful!
Now I don't even need to read the rest of the thread!
First off they weren’t cops, they were rent a thugs - hired by the airport authority to save money. All that savings will evaporate when the airport settles with the maimed guy.
Watch it, Noob. Not the best way to win friends around here.
