Man dragged off of overbooked United flight A man was dragged from an overbooked flight from Chicago to Louisville by uniformed men after he refused to give up his seat. Other passengers post videos
So when they cannot get enough people to "volunteer" to get off, they have a computer pick the "victims" Pretty Friendly Skies, eh?
This was to allow 4 United crew to fly to Louisville to staff a plane, but wouldn't it be orth having a small private jet available to shuttle the crew? Would seem a lot more efficient and customer friendly..

You just know that next time they overbook that, due to the release of this video, the flight crew can offer people $20 and they'll be VERY eager to take the offer...

Does all media respond to money or what? These guys are pontificating and making noises about how the Airline had a right to deny the guy, yet everything talks about "denied boarding". Hello: They were already boarded! That is a critical difference. I have yet to see anyone who says "Yep, they can kick you off the plane, once boarded, and the one article I found (posted in the thread) says they can remove you from the plane AFTER they present you with written reasons why and written offers of compensation, or authority. Yet they keep posting things saying it was ok...I still don't think so, but some lawyer will have to strangle them for millions first.....
