[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why the passenger thought he was so important the IDB rules didn't apply to him. I know he claimed to be a doctor, but...I just don't understand it. Airlines don't deny boarding to people based on the important of their jobs. Is there something else going on here?[/quote]

I don't care if he were a welfare cheat.  This shouldn't happen to anybody.[/quote]

Right. But why didn't he just get off the plane? I fly 100K+ miles a year and I just don't understand this situation. That's where everything went wrong, so I'm not sure why everyone's harping on United.

(And for the record, I DESPISE United and haven't flown them in 20 years.[b] But I don't understand the uproar.)[/quote][/b]

You seriously don't understand the uproar?  Are you autistic? [/quote]

No. I'm a frequent traveler who would have gotten off the damn plane when first asked, then taken it up with the airline and walked about with my $1600+. It's happened before and it'll happen again.

I do think the police went overboard, but again, I can't figure out why no one's putting even a little blame on the passenger who thought he was above the IDB rules. And I'm still waiting for someone to explain that.[/quote]

First, it was $800, not $1600.  And because dragging an old man out of a seat he paid for is a wholly inappropriate way to deal with the situation.  They could have gone to the next person on the list, or increased the compensation until someone took it. It's never okay to beat up a passenger. I don't know why that's hard to get. [/quote]
