Man dragged from overbooked United flight: Update - UA says flight not overbooked

[ExodusNirvana]

Brehs what is going on with these airlines as of late???

A video posted to Facebook Sunday evening showed what is becoming another public relations nightmare for United Airlines, which is owned by United Continental Holdings.

One unnamed passenger boarded a United flight at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, headed to Louisville, not knowing he was about to be forced to leave a plane that was overbooked.

A nearly 30-second video clip, posted on social media by a fellow passenger, shows three security officers approaching a man who was already seated, asking him to give up his spot on the plane. After the man refuses, he was eventually dragged by his arms and screaming toward the front of the plane.

fukk airlines...But you also gotta recognize you have no rights on an Airline even with a ticket.

Everybody will complain over this but if you were waiting to take off you woulda wanted his ass dragged out the seat too.

They "overbooked" the flight and then randomly picked passengers and made them get off the flight so that they could add passengers who were employees of the airline, I wouldn't have wanted a fukking doctor who needed to see patients in the morning dragged off the flight. theoretically depending on what kind of doctor he is it could cost someone their life. they're getting sued to shyt. everyone also had to get off the flight costing more time so they could clean this man's blood up.

Again fucc airlines in they were in the wrong to overbook the flight. They're the source of the problem. But having said that

You also need to realize when you're asked to leave you have zero rights to stay. I would have talked some shyt and not just jumped right up, but they were probably trying to talk to his ass for an hour and he wouldn't listen.

Again it's fucced up but the so is the world these days

Sadly this is correct. I never used to think the government was behind 9/11 but the older I get the more I think... That shyt really let them strip away all rights.

People turning down $800 to leave the plane

United should be bankrupt after this

Passengers were reportedly offered as much as $800 and a hotel stay to give up their seats to United employees who need to be in Louisville Monday for a flight.
