All customers on the flight will be compensated for the cost of their tickets, CNBC reported Wednesday.

Video surfaced earlier this week of security personnel violently dragging a passenger in Chicago from his seat after the man refused to give up his spot to an airline staffer.
The video sparked national outrage and calls for congressional investigations.

Don’t be so quick....some might be having nightmares...
Why is no one interviewing the Captain of this flight?
Let’s hear what he/she has to say about all this.

United Airlines Will Reimburse Passengers on Flight Where Man Was Dragged Off
As someone else wrote earlier today. This is too little, too late. Time for CEO to resign, for aircrew to be fired, for police officer to be fired and charged with assault, and for Trump and Congress to lift limits on compensation, now capped at $1,350. Let the market set the rate.
The Doctor acted like a spoiled child having a tantrum. Like a two-year old.
Given his criminal history, he should have been deported a decade ago at least.
I think all watchers of the video should be compensated. I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat screaming; Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue is playing over and over again in my head and I feel like I’m getting hit and dragged with every measure. It’s horrible.
I hope many others have said this:
United did a messed up thing. And the country is up in arms about it. But for my money, what the TSA did to everyone on that flight is worse, and we just dociley accept it because we worship authority.
If that had been a regular cop dragging him off, and he’d killed him, most people would defend the heroic cop.
We live in the USSA.
Would have been much cheaper to rent your deadheads a car to drive the 5 hours to Louisville ... hell you could have bought each of them a Mercedes for what your going to lose and saved the bad but well deserved PR
Except United had no legal right to force him to give up his seat for someone else once he boarded the aircraft.
And he has no criminal history, his name is actually different from the gay doctor who was giving meds to gay men in exchange for sex.
And by standing his ground and not meekly getting off the plane like the other 3, he will get millions from lawsuits.
Anything else?
Witness tampering?
I think the “tantrum” you heard was him being tazed.
Trying to head off class action. I’m sure there’s a settlement and release clause attached to each one of those checks.
Time for Dr Doa to FOAD
And you're posting under what name?
Cough, cough, hypocrite...
Airline Pilot wife posted today - ‘The guy ran back on after removed, at which point he violated Federal Law and Federal Security guys were called in. United had nothing to do with it at that point.” Great article on FB about this which clarified quite a bit for me.
I’m sick to death of being ‘whupped up’ by baying mobs. That’s just me.
From all that I have read this guy did not comply and resisted Police.
Try it anywhere in the world and see what you get.
I’ve seen no details on the employees. Were they or were they not flight crew? And the plane was delayed for two hours from what I read, but I haven’t seen the details of why.
Hey blind Mobs is easy.
Reason is not
Ferguson anyone?
