There were no laws broken. The passenger will likely receive a settlement, not because he was wronged, but because it will be cheaper for United to settle than to defend a suit.

To those who think his rights were somehow violated....you're wrong. The plane is private property. He was asked to leave and refused. Authorities were summoned to remove him. No different than one of your houseguests refusing to leave when asked.

United could have handled it differently, but they didn't. It is their right and it was completely lawful.

Hate to burst all those bubbles...

Who is saying that laws were broken? We are saying that united was stupid in their handling and it is costing them much more than it should have.

You punch anyone in your house. You go to jail for assault.
Security guards are NOT authorities.
He was assaulted the second they laid their hands on him.

He was let back on the plane. They were at fault.
they will be found at fault.
He will get a settlement....a large one.

It's going to be entertaining to see just how big the eventual cost is.

The fact is that united has lost in the neighborhood of a BILLION DOLLARS TODAY over their handling of this. You think it could have been handled better??? You sure about that? Sometimes you have to use common sense and not just go by the contract that......nobody has ever read. I know, I know. Everyone but me reads the contract. Treat people with a little respect and most times these situations can be avoided.

Your not reading what I am saying. Just looking to do more arguing...

Let us not forget, he didn't barge onto the plane without a ticket. He was a consumer who paid for the ability to be in that specific seat and UA willingly accepted his money to do so. Perhaps, extenuating circumstances forbid him from rescheduling. Does that give Paul Blart and his buddies authority to beat the guy's azz and skull drag him down the aisle? Me thinks not. If y'all want to stand in line to be treated that way, I'll hold the door for ya. I'll go elsewhere.

Fellow passengers are not taking up for this guy. As a matter of fact, I heard this morning one speak in strong support of United.

United screwed up. I think most opinions on here stating otherwise would change had he been a white guy from Katy.

My wife and I are Premier Platinum members. I flew roundtrip once a week for a long time, and my wife did 4-5 international trips each year. Lots of terrible stories.

Would I have left the plane? Ya, probably. Would they got more volunteers had they not been so cheap? Ya.

As the story unfolds, it has become more clear that United is at fault in violating th contract and had no legal right to ask him to get off the plane.
