Things aren’t looking very good for United Airlines at the moment. The airline is dealing with a public relations nightmare, their stock is tanking, and to top it all off, they are under review by the Department of Transportation.

The DOT announced last night that they’d be looking into United over how they treated the passenger who was physically ejected from their overbooked plane this weekend. Their statement says that the department will particularly examine rules regarding overbooked flights, as well as the procedures for dealing with fliers who refuse to give up their seats.

Fox News noted that the United incident has prompted calls for a congressional investigation and a review of policy. This comes after the Chicago’s Department of Aviation confirmed that one of the officers involved in the confrontation has been suspended from his job and will be investigated.

oh, ok.

I misread it. Thought you were saying what happens “if” (need glasses — don’t always wear them).

I just bought a 550 dollar pair of glasses that I figure will likely be my last. They are Crizal. I splurged because I

Do you have any "where did I put my glasses" finding glasses?

Everybody needs a few pairs of those laying around...

This will be how United Airlines will handle unruly passengers in the future.

The 4th was the assaulted passengers wife so no, not really without incident. She followed him out after they assaulted him.
