Crew members take priority


Do they? Is that stipulated in the contract?

Chicken, you have made it very clear that if a cop illegally kills someone after said person denies them of an illegal search warrant, you would blame the dead and not the cop who broke the law

United says they asked him to leave and he refused.

It is the discretion of a he airline on how they treat them, if it was a mechanic going to fix a broken aircraft he bumps rev passengers too.

Irrelevant...I expected United to know, wouldn't you?
perhaps a mistake was made by someone who didn't know rules...still doesn't make me feel sorry for the guy...he was acting erratic.

The only erratic behavior I am aware of came when he reboarded the plane after having six shades of shite kicked out of him.

Even then, it was a mantra of "I have to get home."

Who do you think knows more about this, you or aviation attorneys who know the law and have read United's Contract of Carriage?


Depends. I'm correct. If they disagree, I'd say that I know more.

That's great, but if a passenger doesn't agree to that in the contract it doesn't mean anything.

Cop comes to house

Asks you to step outside because they need to search your home

They don't have warrant

You refuse

They try to enter house

You get in their way and try to prevent them from entering

You scream at them

Bang bang bang

The cop kills you


Everything you have posted would have you blame the person killed, and not the cop

According to other posters on here, aviation attorneys, having read all pertinent documents, say they had no right to have him removed.

Yep, for those I've been quoting constantly saying something as so and i keep bring up the experts...

LINK

quote:

“Certainly you can be involuntarily bumped,“ aviation attorney Joseph LoRusso told CBS4’s Kelly Werthmann. “Can you be forcibly removed in a situation like this? That’s where we get into a bit of a gray area.”



quote:

However, LoRusso questions if United Airlines was within its legal right to ask flight 3411 passengers for their seats because standby crew should not have priority over paying customers.

“Were we really dealing with selling more tickets than we had seats? It doesn’t seem like that’s the case, at which point the overbooking protocol seems to be unwarranted,” LoRusso said.


And another...

LINK

Aviation attorney Arthur Wolk says he read all 45 pages of United’s Contract of Carriage and he believes the airline violated its own contract.

quote:

“I want to assure United Airlines they had absolutely no right to remove that man from the airplane. Absolutely no right to forcibly remove him from an airplane. They’re in trouble.”

That's not how this works. They have policies, and they must abide by them. Just because some low level employee says someone must leave, if that order is counter to policy, then it doesn't automatically become OK because "the employee said so."
