jiggy 3,209 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 United airlines drag man off plane by heels with a proper ticket to make room for employees that wanted his seat so they could take a flight. So much for customer is always right. He refused because he had patients to attend to the next day and needed to get home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 They asked for volunteers and when no-one did, the computer picked some names at random. His was one. By not complying with the request he was breaking the law. They should have tasered him and he wouldn't have put up so much of a struggle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lid 194 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 They have a law that says you have to get off an aircraft when you have a valid ticket? Bloody yanks think of everything! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sussex 5,777 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 United Airlines ' The friendly Airline ' ...think the marketing men may need to change that ..I should think he will be seeing his brief , surely if he's paid for a ticket , in his seat , on a flight that wasn't overbooked until united wanted to move air crew about he is well within his rights to kick up a fuss ..I thought it was a fcuking disgrace what they did .. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

See all those idiots with there phones, the offended ones. I'd have chucked all them off as well, around 40,000 feet. Idiots. A mistake has been made, an offer of money has been made and no one accepted. So random folk were asked to leave....first couple did then this idiot decided he would play up. No doubt using the 'doctor' card and I'd take a guess that the 'race' card may well have been slipped in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
