JFC does Boeing know you're spending your entire day on here linking their name with this clusterf*ck, defending United? Give it up already, no one is impressed you work for Boeing. |

Munoz is a case study in the pitfalls of affirmative action. I bet the directors who thought they were being progressive by making this dolt CEO are regretting their decision now. He needs to get sacked now and replaced with someone new who pledges to restore United's abysmal reputation by treating customers - not their shitty selves - first. |

Bingo. Not only that, the corporations and the rich encourage the society to be mean and cruel towards the vulnerable, poor or small people. And the suckers think this is a classless society. |

True. After TSA probes you for hernias and plays proctologist in the security lane, then cops acting as hired muscle drag you feet first from the seat you paid for, all for the airline's convenience. |

?? Continental IS United. They bought it - kept the name United, but Continental runs the company. |

I found this report appalling. I don't care if the airline was within their rights to do this - someone should have assessed the situation and come up with a different plan.
Two things occurred to me in reading about this - first, we lived in Europe for six years and traveled frequently and I never once recall anyone informing that our flight was oversold or looking for volunteers to take a later flight. All I can think is that they either didn't oversell them so heavily or they had a different system for choosing who would have to fly later, like perhaps the last people to check in. Second, I used to be a tour guide for a hop-on, hop-off bus company. The BIGGEST no-no was letting too many people on to the bus at any stop such that there weren't enough seats and someone would have to get off the bus after we had boarded them. It was always preferable to make people wait for the next bus that to have to remove them from the bus. Got really good at counting quickly and always knowing the numbers and/or holdings people at the door while counting. No excuse for this, not even having to move the crew. We had a flight canceled one time because a crew member was ill and they couldn't get a replacement in time. Actually now that I think about it, they canceled the flight then reinstated it because they found a smaller plane that used less crew, but then had to find volunteers not to fly because it was a smaller plane. Ugh, airline industry just sucks all the way around. |

This. But it's a whole new level of suck when a bunch of glorified mall cops drag a man off a plane for having the temerity to assume his purchase will be honored. |
