    Lol....... you quoted him totally out of context. Good job.

    Why should the CEO resign over an isolated incident?
    Lol? I copied the quote from the BBC, they updated the story awhile after I linked it, that quote was the last line in the original story.. so take it up with BBC. (someone else a few lines after I linked it, posted it also, and they pasted the entire story as it was at the time I read it)

    *and he still seems to be doing an about face so not sure what's your point about out of context, seem he's trying major damage control after the barn's half burned down.

    Just quoting to stress this. Airline employees aren't booked for the flight in such situation (even more so in this case by the sound of it, because the articles I've read made it look like some case of emergency fuckup on United's part). So while the corporate asslickers defending overbooking (especially those like Raelbo who "acknowledge" that not all unused tickets end up being refunded for one reason or another, which effectively means that some of the overbooked seats are sold to more than one person and that is still somehow OK) and people saying because overbooking is covered by flight contract and as such this guy has no grounds to sue are cute, most of the 90+ pages focusing on overbooking is simply wrong.

    I mean, the fact that there wasn't enough space for United's employees was most likely caused because the plane was full due to overbooking, but that's where overbooking's impact ends and the case itself is about the guy being removed for the plane so that non-booked employees may fly instead.

    Though the best part of this story is how United behaved afterwards this event though. Apparently PR is a concept so foreign to them that they don't even fly their planes there. Kinda hilarious how they stock fell more after the CEO's response supposed to alleviate the issue than after the initial boarding situation.

    I don't give a flying fuck if he's Hitler reincarnated. Bodily dragging a passenger out of their seat is not how you approach a customer service problem like this.

    Ally has a failing argument so he is resorting to a crappy smear tactic at this point. Been doing it for dozens of pages.

    Suggestions on how to get a noncompliant person to leave when their ticket has been revoked? That is essentially what happened.
    He no longer had a ticket.

    Increase incentives. Find another passenger. Book your four employees on a different airplane or airline and skip the 1 billion dollar lost and PR drama.

    They were increased. He was the one that was "randomly" picked. His wife went without issue as did two others. He just chose not to.
    He did was a not a ticket holder at that point.

    I am sure if the people at United could see into the future they wouldn't be in the airline business. They would be in another business.

    If you're trying to argue that dragging him was proper protocol you will fail miserably. Simply google proper escort procedures that law enforcement and security are trained on. None of which include dragging a person by their limbs.

    Ok, do you think this stuff through, you have the same bad ideas as my 13 year old. Keep raising incentives? Too much exposure to the airline, now no one takes the begining offer as they know they can hold out indefinitely, there are caps for a reason. Find another passenger? How another random draw? COol now THAT person refuses to comply and they draw again and again and again. Booking their staff elsewhere, I mean yeh thats likely the only workable idea, but guess what, they are in no way obliged to do that. Or ANYTHING other than they did.

    Not "smearing" him. It just indicates that he is a twice convicted felon. That is indicative of his character. The man is no saint.

    I really like how the MSM is trying to dig up dirt on this person, claiming he's been convicted before for trading drugs for sex something something.

    Turns out it's just the wrong David.
    Talk about fake news.

    So you honestly believe there's no possibility a non-felon wouldn't have resisted? That's what you're trying to say here. That he resisted because he's a felon, cause it's "his character".

    What were his felonies in again? Oh right, prescribing drugs that he wasn't allowed to prescribe. That sure plays a lot into him refusing to give up the seat that he paid for.

    Source on this? Seems some posters are basing their entire argument for 40+ pages on that detail.
