We're angry that a paying passenger was beat up to protect the airlines profit. This was about money. The airline was in a negotiation with a group of passengers to get volunteers to be bumped. Instead of continuing that negotiation by bettering their offer, they unilaterally cut it off, and essentially beat up a guy who didn't agree to the deal. It's not right, it's not acceptable, and we're not taking it anymore.

You are correct. Airlines are not making a lot of profits and have become very stingy. There is a limit to how much they will compensate. The guy could have avoided this by graciously accepting, but he was a doctor and therefore more deserving than other people and thought that the security personnel would let him stay if he said 'No'. Whereas that is not how it works.

WTF. why should he graciously accept when the delay is unacceptable to him. Maybe money was not the criteria for him. I saw another video taken just before they dragged him off, where he clearly says the next flight would be too late for him. If they bumped the compensation, maybe someone else would have accepted the offer

Exactly.

United made $2.3 billion in profits last year:

Good morning, United shill. Are you trying this "graciously accept" schtick on other websites?

I don't give a flying f*** who he was, the airline was flat out wrong, and this smear campaign the airline is on is one of the most vile things I've ever seen. F* you and your United buddies, asshole.

Ok then, next time an airline asks for volunteers, make sure that you are on top of the list, and that you need to be somewhere. Your point here was just debunked by the actions made my Delta. It doesn't seem like he was imposing that he is more important than others, however, people have varying schedules and some are not very flexible. His case was the latter.

To me, what's shocking was the way this was all handled, and proper procedures that were not followed. It seems like it's a case of airline employees taking advantage of their power just because they know they can do it, and security personnel not doing their due diligence before acting on the report by UAL.

This is patently false. Airline profits in the US are at an all time high right now.

The smearing of the passenger is really pointless. No one cares about his personal issues or past brushes with the law. The point is that no passenger who has paid for a flight should be dragged off the plane and beaten up in the process simply so that the airline can sell more tickets than seats.

The reason that this event is receiving such intense attention is that EVERYONE who flies is at some point subject to horrific customer service. Airlines are making record profits simply because most of us feel we have no other choice but to accept unpleasant conditions. I'm very grateful that someone finally said enough.

You're about a day behind. The UAL victim and the felon who traded drugs for gay sex are two different people (same first and last name but each has two different middle names from the other). News rags like the Daily Mail rushed to smear the guy before they confirmed the info. Who knows, UAL may have even released thw info in an attempt to divert people like you from blaming them for the assault on the passenger.

Actually, it was the correct person. The other Dr. Dao is a resident in Louisiana, and not on this flight.

That said, I don't give a sh!t about his background. He had a ticket and was in his seat. That's the issue here.
