[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did we ever find out how this guy got "randomly" picked?[/quote]

I think they picked an Asian guy on purpose-imagine if they dragged a black person off the plane?  Or even a Latino?  All hell would break loose.  This backfired on them bad-but at least they do not have the "race card" issue to deal with either.[/quote]
I wouldn't be so sure about that!

So the boycott of United Airlines has now gone global. Nice going, United! I have a feeling that a few of you will be looking for new jobs, starting with your dispicable CEO guy.[/quote]

So incompetent Munez who never worked his way up in the business [brief stint in freight]  can't even read the contract of carriage?  How does one get to be the main man at a passenger airline with NO experience?  Affirmative action?

United's contract of carriage.

Under Rule 25 Denied Boarding Compensation is this:
4.  Compensation for Passengers Denied Boarding Involuntarily 
a.  For passengers traveling in [b]interstate transportation between points within the United States[/b], subject to the EXCEPTIONS in section d) below, UA shall pay compensation to Passengers denied boarding involuntarily from an Oversold Flight at the rate of 200...

[b]Note the word interstate.  That means between states not within a state which is intrastate. [/b]  United runs small jets within states non -stop like Houston to Dallas and LA area to San Francisco in CA.  So no compensation for involuntary bump?

Phila to Pittsburgh isn't direct-it's 1 stop at Dulles [4 hour flight but a lot less than drive time] so it crosses a state line.

But the passenger wasn't denied boarding so this is [b]Rule 21 Refusal of Transport[/b]
UA shall have the right to refuse to transport or shall have the right to remove from the aircraft at any point, any Passenger for the following reasons:
Breach of Contract of Carriage – Failure by Passenger to comply with the Rules of the Contract of Carriage.
Government Request, Regulations or Security Directives – Whenever such action is necessary to comply with any government regulation, Customs and Border Protection, government or airport security directive of any sort, or any governmental request for emergency transportation in connection with the national defense.

There is nothing in refusal of transport about boarded passengers oddly being for NO reason except nasty stuff unless it was the security stuff above.
