Lol. The false narrative is comparing this guy to a thug that got whacked in the act of committing a felony.

Umm read it again. I didn't compare those two things. I compared the dumb reactions by people regarding those two instances.

It's an expression, not a real question.

What he might've been thinking has nothing to do with my point. People accidentally change the world all the time.

Your points are terrible in this thread.

I bet the same group of people who think this doctor is some kind of martyr are the same people who want to jail every single cop who shoots someone.

They say things like "he didn't deserve to die for stealing from a store." That's not why they got shot. They got shot for their actions after. False narrative.

Same with the doc. "He didn't deserve to take a beating for their screw up." He didn't. He took the beating for refusing to get off the plane. False narrative.

Then they come up with every hypothetical under the sun to suggest other alternatives that don't end with the outcome we got on Monday. How about you have a little respect for authority and use a little common sense? That's one way this gets resolved without getting bloodied up.

Respect is a two way street.

yes, tantrums are the way to get things solved. Brilliant. This isn't a Selma issue or even close to rosa parks and you just made a horrible stupid correlation

They differ only in degree of severity, but the principle is the same. One person has to give up their seat to another.

Example would be someone with carry on luggage struggling to get it on the plane being reversed to get it off the plane. Thinking of my 70 year old mom in this situation having to do this not this doctor.

If they are gonna offer up to 10k to a passenger to help them decide to wait for the next flight couldn't United get them a private flight for all four workers for that price from Chicago to Louisville?

Delta Private Jet says their rates start at $5,100 an hour. I would imagine that's for whatever the smallest plane they offer is, probably a baby citation.

Ummm, I can read it 100 times and, direct or indirect, it's still a comparison of the two.

In this opinion, there is a pretty good reason it matters that he was allowed to board the plane.

Really, it's a good summary of why several of us are pinning this on United. Worth a read.

Boarding continues until the cabin doors are closed and the ask you to turn off your phone. They say exactly that on every flight.

A bride and groom headed to Costa Rica for their wedding got kicked off their United flight out of Houston on Saturday afternoon.
The incident took place on United Airlines Flight 1737 which was headed from Houston (IAH) to Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR).
The couple, along with their friends, were flying from Salt Lake City and had a layover at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Michael Hohl, the groom, said he and his fiancé, Amber Maxwell, were the last to board the plane.

According to Hohl, they noticed a man was spread across their row napping when they approached their seats, 24 B and C.
Not wanting to wake the man, Hohl said they decided to sit three rows up in seats 21 B and C. He said they didn't think it would matter because the flight was half full with multiple empty rows.
“We thought, 'Not a big deal, it’s not like we are trying to jump up into a first-class seat," said Hohl.“We were simply in an economy row a few rows above our economy seat.”
In a Boeing 737-800 like the one the couple was on, United considers Row 21 "economy plus," an upgrade.

Not sure about this one, sounds like the guy sleeping in their seats should've got the boot.

Nobody deserved to get the boot.

United Employees Can No Longer Displace Boarded Passengers

United Airlines has confirmed that it has changed its company policy regarding the displacement of boarded passengers. The new policy states that no United employee can travel on a flight if their seat has not been booked one hour before the flight. In other words, employees will only be able to bump passengers with paid tickets before boarding for a flight has begun, thus eliminating the possibility that United will ever be able to remove a paid passenger from a plane in favor of an employee.

“No must ride crew member can displace a customer who has boarded an aircraft,” United’s internal memo said on Friday. The airline has also raised the amount of money that supervisors can offer to compensate displaced passengers, from $1,350 to $10,000, and announced that it will no longer ask law-enforcement officials to remove passengers from its planes unless they pose a security threat.

All kinds of craziness going on with United

A dad returning from Mexico with his 3-year-old daughter was briefly detained on suspicion that he was engaged in sex trafficking. (And not to pile on, but it was a United flight.) Despite papa having her passport, his passport, and a notarized letter from the mom saying that she gave them her permission to travel, the authorities felt compelled to act upon a "tip"—a tip that was nothing more than a passenger's hysteria-fueled hunch that 3-year-olds are being trafficked right and left in the USA.
