HAHAHA if you think that, you are naive... This man will get lots of cash out of this airline... Yes the Captain is the law on a plane and can do whatever they want, but if you think that just because you CAN do something means you should... you are a fool.
United is paying through the nose for this... and will be for quite some time.. and yes this guy will get paid a lot more than the $800 voucher he didn’t take voluntarily. United will suffer 10s if not 100s of Millions in lost revenues and brand damage from this incident... and this guy will get a payout directly as well.
United, fly the gestapo skies.
If it goes to court he’ll lose because the airline has the right to kick anybody off their plane. Now United might not want it to go to court, so they might bribe him to make it all go away.
United handled it poorly, there’s no question about that. But as they say: more than one thing can be true. It’s not either or, both parties can be pathetic douches. And the fact of the matter is Dao acted like a 3 year old who just had his baba taken away, he’s just as big an idiot as anybody at United.
