Man Dragged Off Plane

[dave88 1,565]

Doctors aren't more important than everyone else, despite what they might think.

I agree..they're not more important. But the job they do is more important than that of a trolly dolly

It's been confirmed for all the doubters on here that he is a doctor from kentucky

Edited to add...his wife who was also removed from the plane is also a doctor

Think he needed to see a doctor the way he was acting. Total moron

I thought the airline acted like morons , he paid for his ticket he was entitled to be allowed to fly . The over booking was because the airline wanted to move staff about not because the flight was over sold . Hope he sues the shit out of them . If the airline new they had staff to move they shouldn't have sold the seats ..

I think he went quite quietly considering they would of had to tazer me to get me out of that seat

[The one 8,512]

Think he will be sueing them and there shares have taken a tumble

There's a way to show your not happy. Squealing like a pig having to be dragged dead weight off a plane then running back on asking to be killed isn't it haha the guys a clown

Even if you accept that he acted like a muppet...do you not think the way he was treated was out of order?

If they offered compensation and no doubt another flight I don't see what more they could do ? Their plane their rules somebody had to go he was picked at random. Unfair no. Annoying yes.

 

annoying you really are having a laugh

[greg64 2,867]

ohh of course I will give my seat up but i'm a tad annoyed

They would have no doubt offered compo and a new flight. Yes I would be annoyed. What would you have done other than comply and be annoyed ?

 

end up getting tazered

Every single flight is overbooked they work on the assumption that some passengers won't turn up/make the flight it's a money making exercise as they get to charge for seats twice.

Its there fault they overbooked it then dragged him off after there relive crew arrived after the aircraft had boarded

[walshie 2,804]

He wasn't picked totally at random in any case.They have rules of who won't be picked like minors etc, so he was fair game like anyone else.

 

Yes i'd have been pissed off if it happened to me, but the $1000 would have cheered me up. I certainly wouldn't have been dragged off the plane like a rag doll. He made a total spectacle of himself.

 

Sympathy level = zero.

[greg64 2,867]

the thing is you have to check in at least two hours before take off .this just should not of happened

Paying customers shouldn't get bumped for staff, period, but it looks like their stock is down 4% this morning alone. That could lead to $800m being wiped off the face of the company.

So if you're flying UA in the near future expect to pay a 600% surcharge for your inflight sandwich.
