Miss. Opinionated : The woes of Travel - Budget Airlines

Seriously tho, great post. Although I disagree about the "elderly passenger" part. That guy you mentioned is a known criminal and has been convicted of prescription drug fraud in his past (hes a doctor). He knew exactly what he was doing and WAS offered alot of money to switch flights, which he declined because he knew if he could cause this scene how many millions he could come by. Obviously United Airlines handled the situation extremely poorly but its very clear the "victim" capitalized on this opportunity to the fullest. He immediately lawyered up and is set to receive millions. Poor guy. Im sure he feels like a true victim.....lol

I didn't know about his history, but still.. i don't think he bled from his face of his own accord. The way united airlines handled the situation in their press releases afterwards was also pretty bad. Whoever was their PR person, seriously needs to learn how to damage control.

absolutely agree. Just wanted to point out this guy is no victim overall. Ironically it was the elderly that he targeted as a doctor prescribing them everything under the sun to make a quick buck. United handled it poorly in every situation indeed.

Ask yourself this, based on those facts and what $$ he is likely to receive. Do you think if he could go back to that day he would avoid the situation? Not a chance this was a massive lottery win for him, I would be at the airport everyday if i knew it would happen to me, as would most people. Hey atleast he wont need to abuse his elderly patients anymore as he should be set for life!

unless they're drug abusers, so they'll follow their dealer wherever he might disappear lol

agree with that. btw nice post. you are steemit stars :D
