Please THINK about the United Airlines passanger situation

in airlines •  8 years ago 

that's never in contention nor did I say so... The fact of the matter is that a paying customer was never asked to volunteer but was chosen... Now with the wording of the United Contract this gives United carte blanche to remove any and all passengers at their whim with violence.

By the way those are the screams of a paying United customer. If you think this is correct form of behavior by a company than you have bigger issues no matter what their contracts state.

I can't even believe people are justifying the actions of this at all. That is the real fucking problem with modern day society. Yes we should all be outraged at this and people should boycott them. We are not to be treated this way at all. Fuck their contract.
Why should airlines be allowed to do this at all is what is really appalling. Imagine these rules at anywhere else tickets are sold. Do you see a problem now? Oh wait they get special privilege since 9/11. I also remember something about airlines getting bailed out from taxpayers money thanks for showing us the appreciation.

the airlines offers the contract to fly with overbooking in mind (yes, they COULD change that model)

the overbooking process does have a benefit for customers, though, the link above goes into more detail

airlines have benefited form government assistance long before 9/11. the government has subsidized jet fuel for a long time, which is one reason tickets are so (relatively) cheap

I will ask this question, though, would you get off the flight if another passenger refused to be randomly selected on an overbooking?
(this sounds like a "gotcha" question, but I don't mean it that way)

Once the doctor physically resisted removal, what other options were there?

The doctor does have a track record for having a shoddy decision making process. He lost his license over the misuse of prescribing prescription medications for sex.
He ran back onto the plane. Name any situation where someone who is noncomplient and belligerent runs back onto private property and it ends well for them. On the ticket it says they can remove you for any reason. Just like the time they removed that lady for screaming obscenities at the man next to her over politics. They can remove anyone at anytime when they are on the ground. It is their property. Source of the video refrenced:http://nypost.com/2017/01/23/woman-kicked-off-plane-for-berating-trump-supporter/
