I hope he loses and goes in the hole to pay his scumbag attorney.
I doubt that happens although I'm sure his lawyer will get a lot of the settlement.
Publically fighting back would probably make a very bad situation for United even worse.

Dumbass should have gotten off the damn plane. None of this would have happened.

I can only imaging how big of a thief he is, and how awful his commercials are.

No, of course they'll settle, but it'd be fun to see him get his arse beat twice over this.

How can anyone defend forcibly removing a paid passenger, after boarding, so your employees (on stand-by) can get on? Are you serious?
The proper thing to do is to keep raising the voucher price until enough people volunteer.

Deserving? horseshite. It is a standard industry practice allowed by the DOT. Millions of dollars in punitive damages is absurd.

I'm not a fan of this cultural idea that anytime a person feels victimized they can start suing everyone for a big payday.

Not only proper, it's normal practice when this happens - and to do it before anyone boards.
Not sure why they handled it so poorly. Maybe bad communication or just a gate manager on a power trip. Maybe they hired him/her from Spirit Airlines or something.

Guy is batshit crazy and was selling scrips for BJ's. When asked by some cbs news station what his injuries were he said "everything". He will be a shite show on the stand though. If it ever comes to that.

He doesn't "deserve" a single penny.

Allowing everyone to board, then dragging them off, for stand-by employees?

Let me change a couple words on that...

I'm not sure the law in Illinois, but punitive damages are only available in very limited situations in Louisiana.

What Spirit Airlines does is probably a good example of what United, Delta, Southwest, etc. SHOULD NOT do.
It's the airline version of going full retard. United went full retard.

Well, he was treated poorly, so paying for a free flight seems fair, but he will end up getting hundreds of thousands of dollars and he shouldn't.
I'm thinking every airline now will have to keep upping their rebooking offers or passengers will just strap into their seats waiting for their payday.

they were removing ppl so united staff could fly
That's my biggest rub here. They were forcibly removing paying customers so their staff could fly. frick that noise, I'd refuse to move also.

Take that up with the Chicago Department of Aviation employee, not United.

Being dragged off was his decision.
