Is it possible United could have handled it better? Sure. Do I think they were liable for damages? No? Excessive force by the police? IDK, hard to prove. Will they pay him something to go away? Maybe. Does he deserve anything? Hell no!
All I have to say is that hopefully United gets back on the war path and says FU to the doctor, you're not getting anything.
Then we can watch United's stock tank for weeks while enjoying hilarious memes at their expense.
Unfortunately it seems like UA's CEO has had a sudden bout of common sense, but hopefully that passes soon, and the dumpster fire can continue.

Experts disagreeing on this topic only further proves this issue is nowhere as black and white as you are trying ever so hard to make everyone else believe. But you go ahead and keep on pretending that somehow isn't relevant.
Nonsense. I offered my opinion that it's their airline. That's black and white. I don't care what y'all believe and I've made that quite clear.

Your multiple posts in this thread and the other threads on this topic indicate otherwise.
No, they don't. If you sit around posting and gnawing your fingers off, that's your business. Not all of us have that attachment to this stuff.

Well according to you, they are absolutely in the clear here from a legal standpoint
Link that.

So then why would they settle?
Because it makes sense financially. Being right has nothing to do with it.

Well I'm pretty sure I asked them.

Incorrect. It's their plane and they can make you leave it.

Second, them settling isn't a result of them not having somewhere to stand here.
But them settling is a result of decisions that their employees made that put them in this spot.
They will settle to make this go away. And the cost of that settlement, not to mention the costs of the PR crisis team they are surely now using, all the lawyers they will have, all the badwill they have created, etc, will be many, many multiples of the cost of a few hundred bucks more in vouchers.

frick that whiny bitch. He should have just gottwn off the plan like an adult. United was wrong, but it's their plane. I'm tired of people feeling entitled to just get their way all the time.
lol if I knew I could net millions off of a greedy arse company like United, I'd do the same.

No, it's a result of the emotional response of the Internet based on incomplete information and ignorance.

"Could" United have done better is underestating it. "Did united have the responsibility to its customers and and shareholders to not put themselves in this situation" is an absolute fact, and a fact that they had more than enough data to realize ahead of time. I've said it before, the law is irrelevant in this case and United and it's $53 million/yr CEO is (or should be) smart enough to figure that out. The fact that the laws (as heavily written to the airlines favor as they are), are still open to interpetation in the passengers favor is just icing on a cake that United is not going to want to debate on public airwaves.
They will definitely, not maybe, pay this guy off. Their number one priority now is making sure this doesn't circulate through the news cycle twice, and the only way to do that is pay this guy whatever it takes to make sure there's not a heavily covered media laden trial somewhere down the road.

United has already publicly clarified that the flight was not considered oversold.

not a great assumption, airline CEOs are kind of like asst. fb coaches int college, don't make shite, hoping they can hold out until all of their competition starves, who pulled the guy off of the jet btw? was it UAL employees, or did they simply report a passenger non-compliance?

Yep, but that doesn't mean there aren't consequences when they do make you leave it if they break their contract of carriage.

They didn't do that.
Posted on 4/12/17 at 7:17 pm to DisplacedBuckeye
Making me leave is not the point..... if THEY have a crew problem that is not on me..... they could offer me $2,000 and depending on where I was going I could still have said NO...

Using your college football analogy, this is the business equivalent of teaching your quarterback that throwing the ball to your third team tight end who's triple covered on a 5 yard out on 3rd in 12 is a better option than throwing to your open star receiver on a 15yard post. It may be legal but it's incredibly stupid, and I would expect not only the assistant coach, but the 14yr old kid 3 rows into the upper deck who's only rooting for a team because they like the mascot, to be able to figure that out.

Sure, you can say whatever you want. You still wouldn't be on the flight.
Posted on 4/12/17 at 7:29 pm to DisplacedBuckeye
And that is OK????

They may have broken their contract actually, it isn't really a black and white answer

Now you are starting to get it. Not now, not ever. And he's not the only one, but he is the only one that will collect on a huge settlement that won't end there for United. They screwed up royally and have no leg to stand on. Good luck with the contract. It's useless. But carry on, you could not be more wrong.
