The power of cell phone video.
Imagine just reading about this in some obscure news.
And people wonder why Donald might have had his head turned by pictures and video of gassed children...
Vietnam baby, once the cameras got rolling and the middle class was drafted. Pictures are worth what?
It wasn't overbooking, it was the fact that they got caught with their pants down and realized at the last second that they needed to get their own employees to the next destination ASAP.
In short, they were idiots.
you are too stupid to even realize you are stupid.
Do your research. Your arrogant ignorance is appalling.
Airlines run mainly under federal law. They can kick anyone off their airplane they want.
They were stupid to do it the way they did it but all its gonna cost them is bad PR.
From the US DOT website:
nvoluntary Bumping
DOT requires each airline to give all passengers who are bumped involuntarily a written statement describing their rights and explaining how the carrier decides who gets on an oversold flight and who doesn't. Those travelers who don't get to fly are frequently en led to denied boarding compensation in the form of a check or cash. The amount depends on the price of their ticket and the length of the delay:
If you are bumped involuntarily and the airline arranges subs ute transportation that is scheduled to get you to your final destination (including later connections) within one hour of your original scheduled arrival time, there is no compensation.
If the airline arranges subs ute transportation that is scheduled to arrive at your destination between one and two hours after your original arrival time (between one and four hours on international flights), the airline must pay you an amount equal to 200% of your one-way fare to your final destination that day, with a $675 maximum.
If the subs ute transportation is scheduled to get you to your destination more than two hours later (four hours internationally), or if the airline does not make any subs ute travel arrangements for you, the compensation doubles (400% of your one-way fare, $1350 maximum).
If your ticket does not show a fare (for example, a frequent-flyer award ticket or a ticket issued by a consolidator), your denied boarding compensation is based on the lowest cash, check or credit card payment charged for a ticket in the same class of service (e.g., coach, first class) on that flight.
You always get to keep your original ticket and use it on another flight. If you choose to make your own arrangements, you can request an "involuntary refund" for the ticket for the flight you were bumped from. The denied boarding compensation is essentially a payment for your inconvenience.
If you paid for optional services on your original flight (e.g., seat selection, checked baggage) and you did not receive those services on your subs ute flight or were required to pay a second time, the airline that bumped you must refund those payments to you.
United's staff ed up, called the goons to brutalize a paid up, seated passenger.
ing America is ing and un able. Nobody even questions the cops brutalizing, injuring, knocking out a non-threatening American citizen.
Airlines set their own "boarding priorities" -- the order in which they will bump different categories of passengers in an oversale situation. When a flight is oversold and there are not enough volunteers, some airlines bump passengers with the lowest fares first. Others bump the last passengers to check in. Once you have purchased your ticket, the most effective way to reduce the risk of being bumped is to get to the airport early. For passengers in the same fare class the last passengers to check in are usually the first to be bumped, even if they have met the check-in deadline. Allow extra time; assume that the roads are backed up, the parking lot is full, and there is a long line at the check-in counter.
Airlines may offer free tickets or dollar-amount vouchers for future flights in place of a check for denied boarding compensation. However, if you are bumped involuntarily you have the right to insist on a check if that is your preference. Once you cash the check (or accept the free flight), you will probably lose the ability to pursue more money from the airline later on. However, if being bumped costs you more money than the airline will pay you at the airport, you can try to negotiate a higher settlement with their complaint department. If this doesn't work, you usually have 30 days from the date on the check to decide if you want to accept the amount of the check. You are always free to decline the check (e.g., not cash it) and take the airline to court to try to obtain more compensation. DOT's denied boarding regulation spells out the airlines' minimum obligation to people they bump involuntarily. Finally, don't be a "no-show." If you are holding confirmed reservations you don't plan to use, notify the airline. If you don't, they will cancel all onward or return reservations on your trip.
the airlines and their ing fascist ing -the-client rules
So, yeah snowflake, the airlines can bump anybody the they want to bump as long as they follow the USDOT rules.
I wonder why
United is in the midst of a historic PR disaster, their stock prices are dropping, and it's been headline news all week. But don't let reality get in the way of your "REEEEEE!!! 'MURICA SUCKS!!!" rhetoric.
Its not about bumping them Einstein
Its about sending them to the ER and plublicly shaming them
Nigas get millions for way less
Probably a good time to buy United stock. People will forget about it after the next couple of youtube videos on something else that outrage Reck and Boutons.
He along with the Left fits your description perfectly. They have to be spoonfed information with the proper spin and narrative otherwise they lose their interest quickly similar to a prepubescent suffering from ADHD. Hence the ty misinformed opinions and mud slinging- it's all they know.
you are too stupid to even realize you are stupid.
Do your research. Your arrogant ignorance is appalling
Suit yourself. The law is crystal clear. They were within their legal right to bump him as long as they compensated him per USDOT rules.Its not about bumping them Einstein
Its about sending them to the ER and plublicly shaming them
Nigas get millions for way less
They handled it stupidly and it's terrible PR. I won;t argue that point at all.
ing normies get off my stream! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This is going to be a civil case (where the bar is way lower than a criminal case), with plenty of video evidence and photos of the dude being dragged and bleeding.
It doesn't matter whether the airline was within it's rights, they don't have a right to beat you out of your seat.
So it's going to be the airline (because they called the cops) and the cops themselves getting sued, and settling this in record time.
LMAO cosmicgaylord went on an epic meltdown.
Didn't they put the cop that dragged the dude on leave already?
"No one's talking about the cops" is a dumb-vs-dumber argument between cop haters ("police brutality!") and racists ("cuz he's black!") based on the false premise that no one has criticized the cop's actions.
That's a good point since that pretty much sums up how the masses react to news in general.
Outrage about it for a few days, and then forget about it two weeks later.
United gonna write a check and move on... they have to.
Until earnings come out. Also expect another dip when news of the settlement hits.
I'd rather not go through any of that crap.
Keep your money.
"Oh cool. You were the guy freakn and then drug down an aisle of passengers. Lets have a beer on you"
