Canceling the Louisville flight would have affected a lot more people than the 4 who were asked to get off in Chicago.

Google maps says the could've driven the crew to Louisville in 4.5 hours.

You still ended up affecting the entire plane in Chicago and the one in Louisville.

Postpone the Louisville flight for 6 hours and problem solved.

Would that have been "legal"?

That would be pushing it. Nashville to Chicago is a good 9 hour drive.

Anyway, that 4.5 hours might have screwed up several flight schedules not only because of the 4.5 hours of delay but the 4.5 hours of flight time that crew lost. They are only allowed to work so many hours per day.

Good points. THEN DO NOT OVERBOOK WHEN YOUR CREW MUST GET TO ANOTHER FLIGHT.

You have any idea how the hub and spoke system works? Postponing that Louisville flight 6 hours would have cascaded through the system affecting several more flights and hundreds of more people.

Where's our resident pilot? He could shed some light on this.

Agreed. But also get the **** off the plane when asked and compensated.

Bad airline policy which has become accepted because of contracts and 'it's just the way things are done' attitudes caused this.

We can argue and debate back and forth. But the guy is going to get 7 figures and he will never have another issue on a flight.

Prob right.

I wonder if this will create copycats until (forcing) airline's change their policies?

I lost my return flight on Delta because I missed my flight to my destination. Had to purchase another at gate when I checked in for return. I called Delta twice to let them know I may miss my flight out and I would fly out to my destination and need my return flight.

F the airlines and their lawyers. Exception for SW.

Again, they ended up screwing up both flights anyways. Why is it so hard for you to understand that them screwing up the Chicago flight, in turn caused them to stop, clear the plane, clean up the guys blood and re-board everyone again... which further slowed down the possible flight in Louisville?

Chicago is the hub for United. A bottleneck in Chicago is far, far worse than one flight delayed flight to Louisville, Ky., gtfoh.

Do you understand the hub and spoke system? I mean really? How many connecting flights out of Louisville on a Sunday is going to cascade into something serious?

The passenger screwed up the flights by not abiding by his contract. Why can't you understand this?

The contract is one sided but valid.

No. United Airlines allowing their plane to be fully boarded by paid passengers because they weren't organized well enough to see that they needed to leave 4 seats open to accommodate connecting crew members caused this.

Nobody would have had to lay a hand on anyone if this had just been resolved at the gate.
