What exactly is it that you do for a living?

Really don't quite understand why some insist on arguing the fine print of "contracts of carriage". Why is it difficult to comprehend the common sense way of conducting civilized business? In this particular situation United was obviously penny wise and pound foolish. They wouldn't go higher than $800 to get a seated passenger to voluntarily give up their seat on the plane, so they opted to call in law enforcement to create a multi-million dollar public relations fiasco. Stupid move. Period.

No different than breaking a law & subsequently claiming ignorace of that law as an excuse... if he wasn't aware of it..he should have been, while I understand most average travelers may not even know it exists, that's no excuse for throwing a tantrum when it's enforced
Plenty of other options. Plenty of ways to get the extra employees where they needed to be. You may know contracts, but seem to lack understanding of the consequences when enforced to the letter. Sometimes, judgment is called for.

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.

Believe me when i say, i suspect if they had alternate options...they would have exercised them..last thing they want is to pull folks off a plane...for many reasons...PR being the least of them
Sure there are consequences...this was just the least painful one..PR issue or not...it's a game of chess...not checkers
This isn't bad...wait till they put a dead head pilot in an empty 1st class seat as opposed to the next guy on the upgrade list who does have status that's when feathers are ruffled...
After you do it long enough...you don't really care where you sit...you just want to get from A to B as quickly as possibleLast edited by RodinaRanč; 04-10-2017, 09:46 PM.

If I said I didn't chuckle when I saw them dragging him away,glasses a mess and belly hanging out....I'd be lying. Looked like something out of a movie.
I know it's actually a serious conversation everyone is having about the incident. But being serious just isn't my thing most of the time.Last edited by okrattler; 04-10-2017, 09:42 PM.
