[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why is the passenger's personal info at ALL RELEVANT?   should airlines bump customers based on a subjective assessement of  what "good reasons" they have for wanting to go on the flight that they booked and paid for?

I'll bite:  I think that if it is an unemployed person that person should be automatically bumped first.  He or she doesn't have to get to work so they aren't a priority

Do you see how ridiculous this exercise is? [/quote]

The passenger was the one who brought it up. He told people he was a doctor and had to go see patients.

Someone else could have another reason.

No one is saying his personal information or that of any other passenger is part of the decision making about bumping[/quote]

So why is it 4 bozo United employees, who chose to live outside of their Louisville base, and were using free personal passes to commute to Louisville are more important to get to work than anyone else? Because this is the only way those four can get to Louisville for free vs renting a car and driving together vs actually living where they are based so they don't have to commute via plane?

From what I understand, this man and his wife initially volunteered to be bumped but didn't understand that the alternate flight was an entire day later on Monday afternoon.  So when he realized that the next flight was 24 hours later (which is complete bs on United's part) he said no he couldn't wait that long because he was a dr and had patients to see Monday morning in the Louisville area.  This is where the dr part comes in.[/quote]

I agree. I see this all the time. Why are flight attendants and pilots always commuting like this? I thought they rode in the jump seats when commuting, not kicking paying passengers off. [/quote]
