Do you even read the terms and conditions when you purchase your tickets?


Have you? United's contract of carriage is actually not that well written for addressing when you are on the plane and the IDB happens. There is space to work for a lawyer.

This could come down if it is refusal to transport instead of denial of boarding.

Holy fricking creepy.

You've made 130 posts in less than 2 days about the topic. Link yourself.



Still creepy.

It made sense financially to handle this situation in a multitude of other ways instead of the way they chose to. It made sense financially for the CEO to not place the blame on the passenger.


You really don't know the difference?

Interesting.

Good for you.

It's interesting that the "experts" here continue to pretend this is the only relevant document.

Why should ANY passenger suffer because UNITED screwed up and could not get their people where they need to be???


Because it's not their plane. We don't have to like it.

Almost as bad as Bill Nelson.


The difference is that the bosses of United and the airport police now have to explain their employee's actions to Bill Nelson and the Senate subcommittee.

They don't have to tell Geraldo hello.

United had no choice. Neither did airport security.

You know nothing of DOT rules and regs. The crew could not get to their destination due to weather. So they had to get a jump ASAP, in order to have the time to go thru pre-flight for their next leg

United had no choice. Either bump these 4, cancel an entire flight that would have no crew and possibly pay outrageous penalties for the crew not meeting certain regs

They probably didn't think the crew was going to make it, once they began boarding. When they showed up at the gate. Denial time

Apparently we can creepy to that list of words you don't know the meaning of.

Nope. So please, attempt to spell it out for me.

It's quite obvious from your posts on this thread that you don't answer any question with any amount of seriousness.

United contract of carriage; section 25
As a couple of posters already replied, we know section 25 is regarding oversold tickets, which this was not the case.

So again, I have yet to see any one show me anywhere where he can be bumped at the discretion of United.

You missing the point. Due to overbooking, which is something airlines can do legally, when a flight doesn't have enough cancellations and there are more people on the flight that seats, they have a system in place to determine who they will take off the flight.

Unless I am missing something, the only thing that United screwed up was the was they removed the guy from the plane.
