They were offered Monday afternoon flights plus the $800. |

| And still, it is a 4+ hour drive. Why not get a limo and put the 4 United Employees in it if everything else was booked. They would have been door to door faster than sorting through this mess. |

Or offer people $800 plus a seat in a limo? |

| Or he could have been freaked out and disoriented from getting hit in the head. |

| Most people flying on a Sunday evening have somewhere to be on Monday. They should have offered more. |

I think it's an indication that they know they messed up badly enough that they don't want to say anything that can be used in court or by their regulators. This isn't an incident that's going to be settled with a twitter apology so they aren't going to make one. |

Or because it was psychologically traumatic. Or, the psychological trauma and a TBI. |

OMFG, you cannot be this dense. Maybe this is why they had to act how they acted? Maybe, rather than being a kind-hearted physician, he actually was a threat to other passengers. This obviously occurred before he was extricated from his seat, which is starting to seem slightly more justified. |

*That's* the apology? That's corporate equivalent to "I'm sorry you feel angry." |

It's called PR mumbo jumbo. |

I'm still going with "they know they are going to be in front of a judge over this so they aren't saying anything that could be used against them in that situation". "Re-accommodate"? Methinks someone is going to be re-accommodating United's bank accounts shortly. |

You keep harping on about this lawful order nonsense. What is a lawful order? We don't live in a military state, just because someone says get up, including an officer, doesn't mean you have to get up. Sure, you'll face their wrath and deal with consequences, you'll be rewarded in court of course, but it's the GD principle. He had a ticket, an assigned seat and was already allowed to board the plane. There is no indication that he wa a threat or otherwise a danger to fellow passengers, he wasn't under arrest. The airline should've found another way to get their crew to their location and not at this mans expense. |
