United Airlines

The flight wasn't overbooked passenger wise. The additions were United Staff extras. Also there were 2 subsequent flights to the same destination 1 hour / 4 hours after the United flight. If it was possible for United to purchase seats on these flights, questions would have to be asked why they didn't book those seats.

The injured passenger suffered concussion, & reconstructive surgery on a broken nose. Even if United could prove that the request was reasonable, the way that person was dragged off the plane was completely out of order. The passenger was a 69 yearly doctor. It really does not look good & no where in the contract does it say security staff can assault & harm to passengers. United really have to take a serious review of their procedures & how badly wrong the whole incident went.

It is going to prove very expensive for United. They will not want it to go to court.

Thanks for that @Stig - did you see the link on the r/h side? A classic - southendnewsnetwork.com/news/lego-launches-united-airlines-playset/
