re: United CEO doubles down, calls passenger "belligerent", claims United followed rules

Sure dude, you have a ticket saying you are in the flight

Still doesn't change the fact that based on the policy, EMPLOYEES, not old United retirees children, might not be considered applicable to overbooking

I haven't seen anything yet to suggest that what happened before the cameras rolled would have put the airline/security in a more positive light. I will guarantee that not every passenger on that flight has an anti-cop/anti-corporate bias. In fact, I'm willing to guess that on a Sunday evening flight from ORD to SDF there's a whole lot of passengers who are business people and corporate employees who hate the SJW mindset and mindless viral explosions on the same level the OT does. The fact that no one on that plane has defended United yet, not even anonymously on Reddit,Flyertalk,etc suggests that this never looked good from United's side.

You really don't understand how a paying customer, and an employee they are shoving on the flight, can be viewed differently for contractural purposes?



Irrelevant, that was a properly or improperly applied rule. The guy still has to exit.

FFS, do you even bother to read about anything before you post this bullshite?

Let me know if I need to get a fricking crayon and some glue to explain this to you...

Wait, what?

So you are saying that United may have not followed policy now?

---

ive never said otherwise

I've argued two things.

1) they are within their scope to ask him to de board

2) the police don't drag him off if he complies

Maybe a gate agent didn't apply policy correctly, who knows....certainly not the guy who refused to get up
