I was hoping someone here would start a pro-corporate post extolling the
virtues of dragging someone who paid for his ticket off a plane so the
corporation could fly a crew to another city.


United handled that wrong but the guy got dragged off the airplane for
violating a federal law (not following the orders of a flight crew
member). The man was a moron.
OTOH the airline was wrong by not just upping the offer until 4 people
bit. I blame your K street lobbyist friends who got the original
passenger bill of rights law changed so they only had to offer $800 in
vouchers. (4x the cost of the ticket total for the cattle car
passengers they bumped)
You notice, they don't usually bump first class passengers.


The man was a moron? Really? For refusing to give up a seat for no good
reason so that United could fly a crew to another city...with the help
of a bunch of jackbooted thugs?

Whenever possible, we fly on planes operated by European Union airlines.
More passenger rights.

And what makes you think the airline lobbyists are *my* K Street
lobbyist friends? You really need to cut back on those 'shrooms.
