The passenger is being treated for injuries in a Chicago hotel
United Airlines' parent company CEO Oscar Munoz on Tuesday apologized to the passenger dragged off a flight over the weekend.
"Like you, I continue to be disturbed by what happened on this flight and I deeply apologize to the customer forcibly removed and to all the customers aboard," Munoz wrote in a memo to his team. "No one should ever be mistreated this way."

So now will they give him a free flight to Thailand?
Unlimited to San Fransicko, given the Good Dr’s “past”
The good doctor has been a very bad boy.
A non-apology apology if ever I saw one.
Which is fine. I’m sue the corporate lawyers approved this verbal blah, blah, blah.
I still don’t believe United is going to suffer that much financially in the long run. If I were on the jury, I’d give the doctor a token award of maybe $10,000 and send him on his way with a warning to behave himself next time.
Who was the Captain of that flight?
The Captain is the one responsible.
“So now will they give him a free flight to Thailand?”
Good one!
But surely they didn’t rough him up as some kind of punishment for that?
United Airlines is catching the heat for the passenger beating - but once the cops/TSA are called, it’s no longer United’s issue
Its the issue of America’s increasing police state
Check their stock price. I’m sure they’d write him a check for $10 million right now, it would be cheap if it could undo this mess.
A plane is private property and a ticket only allows travel if no unforeseen circumstances arise. Seems to me the company tried to reason with this man and he was aggressive and unreasonable, which resulted in his own injury.
Flight was overbooked, and somebody had to go. You buy a ticket with the understanding that flights are overbooked — nobody expects to be the one who gets booted, and if it were me I’d be pissed for sure, but there’s no excuse to act the fool the way he did.
lol, how fast these things develop.
Where did you get that? LOL

The flight was not over booked. He was removed to make room for airline employees. What other type of business ejects paying customers to make room for employees? I can’t think of any.
So now will they give him a free flight to Thailand?
United no longer flies to Thailand. They cut that route a few years ago.
Just a few hours ago it was all “They followed proper procedures.”
Just how mentally unstable is this Oscar Munoz putz anyway? He can’t hold onto a position for more than a day?
This is not somebody fit to oversee an enterprise of this scope.
The flight was not overbooked. The united employees showed up at the last minute looking for seats — they did not have reservations.
UA should have put them on another flight if it was that important.
