He was bleeding and obviously in shock you goof.

Seems pretty absurd that $800 was United's limit for how much they're willing to spend to correct their own ****ups before turning to the police to start violently removing people.

bobman your posts ITT are a bad look.

This is a shamefully authoritarian post imo.

Also, I took a vitamin D and a krill oil today so I am, indeed, on drugs aorn.

I would guess that the procedure to handle over booking problem was to be done before boarding. If he was not on the plane it would have been a very simple matter.

I mean as long as the reason you're telling that black man to leave is "sorry bro we're out of food" then yeah, the restaurant is perfectly justified in telling him he has to leave.

Right, so it's bad customer service and bad pr. Which is exactly what bobman was saying?

It's not even $800, it $800 in credit to use on future United flights.

Can your landlord have you dragged out of your house? If you've been evicted, then sure.

The amount of force exhibited seems exactly what I would imagine if someone is being dragged off an airplane against his will.

I just spent 10 minutes looking for the terms and conditions that give United the "legal right" to engage in this shameful behavior and couldn't find it. My guess is that they were not even technically in the legal right once dude was on the plane.

Btw, my go to move when the drones acting on behalf of corporate scumbags try to pull some "check yo terms and conditions" is to ask them to show me exactly where to find whatever it is they are claiming. That usually the end of it, as they clearly have no idea and don't want to spend a half a hour looking, which would prove my point even if they found it.

The people on the plane didn't seem to think so. Seems like you're quite the fascist if you think the old guy with the bloody face was treated appropriately while the people who were there were horrified by the brutality.

Lol overbooking. What a world. What a colossal ****up by United. Odd man out that wasn't seated yet was an employee? LOOOL

Tapper interviewed a guy that was on the plane. He said when the employees boarded the passengers gave them a ton of ****.

I know it's not their fault but it makes me feel pretty good.

Airline overbooking has got to be among the biggest **** you to customers that any company has ever had. Frankly it's a miracle that it's taken this long for this to result in violence and blood - even Canadians get screaming mad at this bull****.

This would not have happened to the good doctor if he had at least silver status or a United credit card. They bump the lowest priority people first.

This was false flag by delta obviously.

If people are talking about this then they aren't talking about chem trails.

Yeah in the majority of cases that's how it works. Once in a while they will board a loaded plane to get people to accept payment to leave. Dragging people off so an airline employee can fly is the worst.

Chicago to St Louis is a 2.5 hour drive so if the idiots at united could not find another flight crew closer they literally could have driven to Louisville. Or united could have arranged for alternative flights on other airlines or chartered a private jet or a fricking helicopter. All of these things should have been trivial for a major airline to execute.

Of course they could just have backup crews in Louisville or near Louisville or in any other city with flights directly or near Louisville. In a decision tree what Jnited chose would not make the page at all because it is that stupid.

They suspended the officer who dragged the guy off. They should fire every single manager who had any hand in this decision or who was aware of it.

LOL oh my God Dan going to bat here is such a ****ing tell of how you can make an AnCap pretend to vote for Bernie but their natural allegiance will always be fascism.

This is so ****ing stupid. He wasn't flying to Haiti to perform heart surgery on dying children.

The world will still continue spinning if he couldn't make it into the office the next morning.

FWIW, I'm also a doctor.

United bumped him for a ****ing airline employee! I don't need to retroactively re-interview for the products I've already ****ing bought. Capitalism is ****ing bad enough as is, we now need to further justify our own purchases to satisfy our corporate overlords?

Jesus Christ

Right. Everyone on that flight needed to be somewhere to do something.

Let's all just give up our rights for the good of the corporate state. The trains, I means planes, have to run on time after all, isn't that the important thing?

Yeah, can't you libtards see that there was no choice but to clobber one of them?
