Lesson.
Yell and scream like a two year old, throw tantrum and get a pay day.
Why would United take these actions if Dao was at fault and United blameless?
“The airline also unveiled new policies early Thursday morning, including a promise to not use law enforcement to remove overbooked customers from planes, additional training for front-line employees and setting up an automated system that will ask passengers at check-in if they would be willing to give up their seat.
Munoz also pledged to reduce the amount of overbooking and offer up to $10,000 for customers willing to volunteer to take a later flight.”
“Lesson.”
“Yell and scream like a two year old, throw tantrum and get a pay day.”
Or the lesson could be, stand-up for your own rights against an abusive authority and make them pay when the deploy police state tactics against you.
The jackass should have been thrown in jail.
I wouldn’t have gotten off the plane.
I’d be really shocked and pissed too.
No. Stand up for what you think is right. Had United acted on his refusal to volunteer and raised their offer for volunteers Dr Dao would have still won, keeping his seat. United’s actions were like a bully on the playground and expected to get away with it. They didn’t.
