United's stock dropped 2% overnight. That's a measley 500 million dollars.
Another 500 million out of court settlement should about do it.
There should be legislation to prevent overbooking. It's just flat out wrong. Over booking and bumping passengers never made sense as it causes all kinds of problems all the way down the line. A bumped passenger that has checked baggage is the real headache. The ground crew must go in and search thru all the baggage to pull that passenger's baggage. Usually it's at the very bottom at the very back and all those heavy bags have to be moved and then reloaded----------or they just leave them in there and let the bags go on to who knows where most of the time getting lost or stolen. Happens every day.
How do I know this stuff? My SO has been a ramp rat at DFW for 20 years so I hear the horror stories all the time. This crap not only hurts the customer it puts undue stress on the bottom tier employees and their unions are of no help & worthless as teats on a boar hog.

No contract, no plane ticket, no problem !

Originally posted by MassMan View PostYes, but this was not an idb situation. The flight was not overbooked unless the emergency crew members were checked in during the prescribed time, as stated in the coc. They most likely were not.

I fly United all the time, was a loyal Continental Airlines costumer for years before the merger. If a plane - in my experience - is overbooked they don't allow those without specific seats to board. This is a significant screwup on United part in both public relations terms and operational terms.

Whether you agree or disagree with it it's their right. Read the agreements you sign in getting a ticket.
Can you imagine the responses here if it was a gang banger refusing to exit the plane???

while the amount of force was excessive being a jack wagon isn't acceptable. It's funny we expect manners from the corporation and none from the psychotic passenger.
I don't think there is much argument that the decision from United could have been handled better but once that decision was made the idiot passenger made a very bad decision in making it a physical altercation.
