A) be understandably mad, argue your case then leave peaceably swearing to never fly with them again. Write letters of complaint, blog about it and tell everyone you know.
B) lay on the floor and act like a toddler throwing a fit at WalMart because MeeMaw won't by you gummy bears
Have some self respect dude.

United should have merely upped offer to leave plane. Someone would have taken offer at $1,000 or so. Not passengers' fault plane was over-booked and dead-head crew needed to get to Louisville by Monday.
Two things: 1) Don't care to share a campfire with Rodina Ranc ... like, ever.
2) True irony: same day this public relations fiasco occurs CEO of United is getting an award from a national public relations association for communicator of the year....

It's all good though because I put it 40+ pages deep into a stupid contract no one reads. That sums up your position and if you claim to have read their contract as a paying customer, you're a liar.

I guess it could have been worse. Could have removed him after takeoff
Kidding of course....basically their boarding policy boils down to you have no rights seated or not if they decide to remove you.
Excuse me sir, but despite fixed # of seats we over booked. Sorry but that's our policy. Oh and by the way despite overlooking this during boarding roll call & scanning passes and allowing you to take your seat, we are demanding your removal by whatever means....Oh and thanks for trying to fly united & have a nice day

Originally posted by Livin'2hunt View PostFascinating. So, like you, United Airlines states some people are worth more than others. I own my own business and treat everyone with respect until they no longer deserve it. I don't tie up their schedule thereby wasting their time and money, I just tell them I will no longer do their work. What United did is the equivalent of my accepting work, being paid for it prior to services being rendered and then deciding I'm going turkey hunting moments before work commences.

A liar...& yes i have read every contract of carriage of every airline i've flown...out of necessity, not b/c I didn't have anything better to do...lol
& yes...fact of matter is some customers are worth more than others....hence the whole reason a contract of carriage is in place ...to resolve such disputes before they occur
I don't know your line of work...but i know mine...if i have 2 clients in need of a specific resource (& i only have 1 guy who can do the work).one does $1M worth of business with me & another does $50k annually...i am going to staff the $1M client with the resource & offer the $50k client compensation...why...b/c one client is "better" than the other in terms of revenueLast edited by RodinaRanč; 04-10-2017, 09:18 PM.

Here's the part of the story that doesn't make any sense. After he was removed:
The man was able to get back on the plane after initially being taken off – his face was bloody and he seemed disoriented, Bridges said, and he ran to the back of the plane. Passengers asked to get off the plane as a medical crew came on to deal with the passenger, she said, and passengers were then told to go back to the gate so that officials could "tidy up" the plane before taking off.
