Ok. 3 people have said this.

What did I miss here? Please help me here.

UA messed up the flight packing. 4 People need to get off. UA asked for volunteers. 3 out of the 4 offered to get off for the compensation and get on a different flight 3 hours later. No one else volunteered so UA randomly chose someone and the doctor was it.

The doctor was the one that didn't want to get off, since he has patients to meet the next day.

Security was called to get him off the plane. They started to grab him and escort him off and he started sqreeching and was being resistant of getting taking. The officers were then being forceful in their demands in response to his forcefulness. The doctor goes limp and is drug off the plane.

Yes. This is a crappy situation. But common. Be an adult. Get up and walk out with a sore loser face on. Sue them or whatever afterwards. Don't resist and be conscious as you are escorted out..

You don't board the flight, until you have either found the number of volunteers needed through compensation, or sorted out the IDB situation.

The non-violent, non-dangerous passenger deserved to be physically assaulted? Interesting.

So what type of payday is this guy getting? At least 5 figures. 6 figures? Airline will say airport security at fault (which they were) but airline literally has to try to counter the PR hit by giving him money. Although you set a terrible precedent if you go overboard. Will have endless unruly passengers trying to get paid.

brb. Agree to the rules when buying ticket...

He wasn't getting up so yes....Flying is not a right, as soon as you enter that plane you give up all your rights. Go fly private if you don't want to get bumped.

^^This but they started at $400 then bumped it up to $800 but still not enough. However It should be the price of the ticket + $200/300 extra for inconvenience.

Now if $800 did cover the ticket and the $200/300 extra then $800 would be a reasonable price

- Also the article said 2 other people were told to get off and they went willingly. This guy was just not having it.


This isn't the 1st airline fawk up and it's not going to be the last. Airlines will continue to act this way because, well they can. They are the only with the planes so you have no other choice but to put up with it.

All they had to do was raise the incentive to get off the plane and someone would have bit. Bunch of idiots working there and making security force the guy off.

This guy just won the lotto, he gonna get paid for this.

mind = blown that people can see a video of an old man literally getting KTFO and then dragged out and their first reaction is to defend UNITED ARILINES. in othervids you can see the blood in his mouth.

It's doesn't matter what you think is reasonable compensation since you were not on that flight. Clearly, nobody that was on board agrees with your assessment.

Yea.

But I doubt it. People need to fly and they don't follow twitter.

If the airline oversold the people not on the plane should be the ones waiting. Wtf is this nazi ****.

Clearly your assumption is weak.

- It most likely had to do with the inconvenience of having to get off the plane when they were already seated and ready to go

- And at the root of it all this is like missing your flight, but you are volunteer to do it, which that's the last thing someone wants to do.

- I wouldn't volunteer to get off even if they offered me $5k.

Any lawyer bruhs in here? How much money do you think he'll get?

Now. Where am I wrong here? The only thing I can see being wrong is how theydrughim out and he hit his head on a cushioned item.

But we all know this game. When marshals tell you to get up. You get up. If you physical resist, expect physical demands after that point. Him hitting his head is a result of his physical resistance.





They should have just did their job right and not screw up the schedule and sitting.

I'm not going to say everybody did their jobs correctly here. Because they didn't.

But what did you guys want to happen? The sky marshals demands get defied and they go "Well. The doctor said he won't get off." "Who do we force off now?" and walk off?

The obvious answer would be. Don't let anybody get off. Since this flight was delayed for 2 hours after the debacle. The UA workers were delayed and probably didn't make their crossover as intended. Which UA worked around this situation to make accommodations. Something they should have done initially to avoid making people get off.

Or have 3 fly and find a local 1 to make up for the doctor saying he couldn't get off.

when will it be my turn to get physically assaulted in public on camera and get multi million dollar payout???

I'm typing faster than I am thinking Mr. Grammar Nazi.
