Leave him alone out cold in a jetway while we find a mobile seat, lather, rinse, repeat.
I didn’t say it was relevant.
I’ve been wanting to do that but too lazy to look up the images for it, LOL. Need to add the one in the comedy club.
One viable future model that could arise from this is simply for each airline to reserve the last row of every flight for company use. If the company does not need that row on a particular flight, then the gate agent can release the row for standby travel.

I AM SOOO STEALING THAT!!!
(oops)
That would make a great episode, except Costanza get beat about the head and face.
The airport security guy would be some classmate from high school who had his life ruined by George.
I can’t wait to read my Time magazine!
Maybe I’ll read it in the park. Supposed to be a beautiful day!
Have a nice life! Sentence!
I think the way passengers in our airports are abused by TSA and airline employees does matter.
I believe the way people insist it’s all for our safety is a sad joke.
But, keep up the ad hominem attacks by all means. Congrats for getting away from CAPS LOCK.
Precedent:
http://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=5201702
“We do not condone the conduct on the part of the Patriots and the team’s head coach, and we likewise refrain from assessing whether the NFL’s sanctions [and its alleged destruction of the videotapes themselves] were otherwise appropriate,” Senior Judge Robert E. Cowen wrote for the three-judge panel.
However, he said Mayer failed to prove any legal right to damages.
“At best, he possessed nothing more than a contractual right to a seat from which to watch an NFL game between the Jets and the Patriots, and this right was clearly honored,” Cowen wrote.””””
Is there a difference between buying a ticket for a plane or a seat at a stadium? I should say not. Can the NFL remove a fan who was simply watching the game, and put their employees there?
come on man give it up. the all caps all the time crap on this one topic is getting old. How about we simma down now and discuss this rationally or... well never mind:(
I’ll put money on it that he doesn’t
bite me
Yes. I do. I was being serious, if a bit snarky.
No it’s more simple...
The four employees who showed up late to get on said plane get an Uber... take a 4 hour car ride and go to work tomorrow.
This wasn’t the last helicopter out of Saigon.
The method of beating somebody up to get a seat for “your crew” isn’t going to fly.
This guy just changed the rules for everybody.
A simple alternative will need to be in place. If they can just arbitrarily beat you up and remove you, why offer any compensation in the first place?
Hopefully not while it's in the air.
There is a great article about it here:

with this being the money shot:
“United Airlines has been heavily criticized for their actions, but this blogger wanted to make it clear that United Airlines did not drag out the man. United was required, by law, to contact federal aviation security when Dr. Dao ran back into the plane after being escorted out, since such an act is classified as a threat to security. As she states, running into “a secured, federally restricted area” may not have been the wisest choice “because, you know, that just happens to be breaking a major federal Homeland Security law.””
and this being the most important factor:
[..]this was a must fly, a positive space situation. In layman terms, it means that a crew must be flown to an airport to man a flight in order to avoid cancellation of said flight due to crew unavailability. This is a federal DOT regulation, not an airline one. The airlines are required to do so to avoid disruption of air traffic.
These threads have been extraordinarily enlightening in ways that have very little to do with the actual subject.
Turns out those directions weren't so lawful. They never should have been called because the doctor had every right to remain on board.
Yep. Looks like the Airlines may have to go charter when flights are booked or have all passengers agree to a 5,000 dollar compensation.
This rule of beating people will not stand.
