he thought his seat priority was more important than united airlines' employees so he resisted arrest because he didn't plan his trip around potential travel delays like literally everyone else does

Yeah it's hard to plan a trip around travel delays when you're on a flight because you're a doctor going to a hospital.

Could have saved a lot of trouble if they just asked if anybody else was ok with that deal. Somebody would have taken it.

Actually unless he was trying to take one of the two seats at the front of the plane, his seat priority WAS more important than United employees.

Flight attendants have more important jobs than doctors. They help people to their seats.

Doctor was a paying customer. The airlines already took his money. He was already in his seat. gently caress united.

So, when a company in business to deal with customers' logistics has a problem getting their own employees where they need to be & when need to be there logistics, it's a paying customer's fault for not having a backup plan?

Regardless of whether or not the airline has the right to revoke passage for any reason or no reason at all (they totally do) I don't see how this situation had to end with the guy getting dragged off. Surely choosing another volunteer (one who would not have put up a fight) would have been preferable. Doctors don't get some kind of "priority" seating or something?

Your gimmick sucks. There's no way to paint United in a good light. You mean to tell me that no other flight crews were available? Bullshit.

The bottom line is United being cheap as gently caress. If they offered 5 grand in free flights for someone to give up their seat voluntarily, we would have never even heard about this incident.

im just saying if you want to get somewhere on time without a smashed face fly emirates, if you dont want to get blown up by terrorists fly united

i regularly fly emirates myself because they have nice showers and you can lay down in your seat. they even give you a blanket so you can hide from all the islam stuff

unfortunately we don't employee the baggage handlers, you should take it up with the airport operator. its a real shame because theyre always doing this but theres really nothing we can do about it. you might try packing more reasonably so you dont have to check luggage
