“The flight was overbooked”
NO is wasn’t! They had boarded everyone, they were seated and it was a full flight. Then these four airline employees show up who “must travel” because they have crew assignments the next day out of Louisville. As others have pointed out this wasn’t a denied boarding issue. He’s going to retire on the eight-figure settlement that UAL is going to offer.
And none of this has a damned thing to do with his problems as a doctor overprescribing painkillers.
You remind me of a guy who wants spark plugs for his car and the counter man wants to know if his car has whitewall tires.
Sorry DO, I usually agree with you but not this time.
You don’t have to agree with me.
To me it doesn’t make much difference if it’s an overbook problem or an issue of staff that must fly. I’ll explain that.
Not trying to belittle the point, but the upshot is that either way four people had to be bumped. One could be argued to be a more valid reason to bump or not. I understand that.
I agree that it doesn’t have anything to do with it, but if he was being paid under the table to over prescribe, it does go to character doesn’t it.
Thanks for the alternative view.
One of the posters provided and totally different description of the incident. I’m going to have to see a more definitive breakdown of what took place now.
This version made him look a lot more innocent, if it’s accurate.
Not sure when one is.
