Sure, but United didn't do that.

One spokeswoman out of several they have on the story vs United's official news release. I'm not defending United, but I will go with what their company is posting on their website as the official policy they used.
Their quotes are across multiple sites. Unless you think there's some conspiracy by a bunch of websites across America to misquote 2 spokesmen and the CEO of United, then you just gotta consider takin the L on this one.

What does oversold defined as? = based off available seats
Again, you're acting like something is fact when you don't know that it is 100% fact.

He clearly has been told it was an oversold situation. Because if that's not true, somebody just got fired for lying to the boss
Fwiw, the day it happened UA was saying that, but they've backtracked since.

You aren't that ignorant are you? If United calls security to have someone removed from a flight, they did it whether it was them physically doing it or not.

They just called the police and claimed he was being unruly (he wasn't).
Do you think there's typically penalties for calling the police under false pretenses?

It means United has decided they aren't going to dig in and fight this. They want to move past this and continue to make money.
It certainly doesn't mean what you want it to mean.

So now you think United didn't call the police?
Ok troll.
Let me help you out here...

The crew selected four passengers at random who would be compelled to disembark, and when one of them refused to leave his seat, the airline summoned Chicago Department of Aviation security officers who wrestled and dragged the man, screaming and bleeding, out of the cabin.

You'll think this is neither true nor false too I imagine.

United losing millions and customers is the market speaking. I hope Dao cleans the government created oligopoly out.

Actually it is. United didn't call the police to talk to the guy, United called them to physically remove him from the plane. Why else were the police there? To just talk to the guy? No. United called because he wasn't listening so they needed someone to physically remove him.
The police didn't escalate a situation, it was already at a point where they were there to remove him. It's not like the police had a choice to simply walk away.
Do you honestly think the police had a choice to do something else? That's laughable if so. The only one that had a choice was United, and they opted out. Therefore the majority of the liability is on them.

Thanks for fixing your link. You fricked up. You don't have to be shady about it.
My point still stands.
Posted on 4/13/17 at 9:16 am to baldona
I still can't believe this guy gets so much support. GET OFF OF THE PLANE! He deserved exactly what he got and if this guy makes a damn dime off of this lord help us all.

No, it isn't.

No, they didn't. They called them to remove him from the plane. It was his choice to be removed physically.
quote:

They were there to get him off the plane. If talking would have worked, he wouldn't have been physically removed.

They didn't need to have that choice. The doctor made that choice several times.

Completely wrong.

That's precious, you think me being shady is the only way that you got a broken link.
Carry on. You've upped the troll game today. 9/10. Almost there.

Your problem is that you don't know the defintion of words
quote:
unruly - stubborn resistance to guidance or control; resistance to attempts to manage; determined resistance to or defiance of authority; an obstinate determination to have one's own way
The man was clearly being unruly. UA had established rules and policies, and after being informed of them, the man refused to comply. Police were then called.

If you tell a police officer "no" after him asking to search your house without a warrant, are you being unruly?
What if he asks for your car keys, and for you to sign over to him the title for your car? Unruly?
