Retire on what? Your refunded airline ticket?

Yes, I would retire on my refunded airline ticket.

He won't sniff 6 figures.

With a decent lawyer he will. My FIL has sued for much less and gotten much more

He'd have defense if he wasn't BREAKING THE LAW by refusing to leave.

Again, agree to disagree.

A major lawsuit should be coming.

For what? Once he was asked to leave the plane and refused

Bloody mouth, excessive force. United is going down on this one

spugeddy24

4/10/17 11:03am

Actually wasn't United. And if I was on the Jury I would rule for the Police.

4/10/17 12:15pm

In no way shape or form does a "bloody lip" alone constitute excessive force.

Unfortunately, you're probably right.

There's got to be a lawsuit coming for this! Taking a legit paying customer who

What kills me is it's for 4 United Employees they were bumping paying customers

rommeliv

Because those 4 employees needed to run a flight out of Louisville the next day

or increase the amount they offer so 4 more volunteers would come forward

Dont tell me there wasn't another flight they could have put them on.

Paco

Apparently there wasn't. The people who got bumped were getting put on a 3PM

Skeptical Optimist

4/10/17 9:43am

Sorry, no pity for that.

4/10/17 9:29am

I have no pity for them, either, but they had to pick which customers they were

Skeptical Optimist

4/10/17 9:46am

Really? Those are the ONLY options available to United? Why not throw the pilots

ol' Blue Eyes

4/10/17 9:29am

It was only a 4.5 hour drive to Louisville, should have bused the employees

rommeliv

Probably not an option - the FAA mandates a certain amount of rest for the

Yeah right. Fine print won't mean jack in this case.

Lol. Lawsuit is coming and the guy is gonna be rich

spugeddy24

I doubt it. He won't even sniff 6 figures.

Let's make a friendly CB bet on this one.

Did the fine print state the the airline would asault the guy and physically

It was the police/security who removed him from the plane. They had the right to

they knocked him out it seems, that seems excessive. maybe not

Any injuries occurred from his resisting. They were simply trying to remove him

He wasn't knocked out. He was just pouting. Classic move for the emotionally im
