Dear United Shill, there's no way in hell that your airline lets this one go to court. The passenger will get a nice payoff to compensate for being abused and a non-disclosure agreement on top. Whatever legalities you think may entitle an airline to treat a paying customer in this fashion, you lose much more in the court of public opinion.[/quote]

Not a United shill, just someone who flies a lot, and usually not on United.

The people who dragged him off were plainclothes members of Chicago Department of Aviation Police. United isn't at fault for their behavior. United followed procedures for a involuntary denied boarding, and the passenger refused to comply, so they called police.

If a police officer asks me to do X, I'm going go to do it. We can hash out in court later if the order was legal, but not complying is breaking the law, and I don't want that charge.

Why wouldn't the passenger comply with a legal order? They can complain to the airline or police later.[/quote]

It'll be interesting to see if his identity comes out later.  If he's a specialist, he could have patients who waited months to see him.

I hope you realize why you are the lone person defending the airline here.  What occurred was horrific and never should have happenned.  I guaruntee you there's an incentive they could have offered that would have gotten someone to volunteer to leave the plane.   I know on DCUM there are hall monitor types who strongly believe in following all rules all the time, but both United and the police were way in the wrong here.  Disagree all you want, but no jury of his peers will ever convict the good doctor for his actions here. [/quote]
