Wow that is so sad.

+1 the poor guy looks like he's reliving some horrible memory.

The guy who got dragged out returns to the flight and is running around like a chicken mumbling " I have to go home". This guy is suppose to be a doctor?

What the what is that?!?! How do you get on after being dragged off by police??

OMFG, you cannot be this dense.

Maybe this is why they had to act how they acted? Maybe, rather than being a kind-hearted physician, he actually was a threat to other passengers.

This obviously occurred before he was extricated from his seat, which is starting to seem slightly more justified.

I'd like to be proven wrong. Just kidding, nobody like's being proven wrong.

His bio should be out shortly I'd imagine.

Um, the whole point was that he was flying home and had patients scheduled for today.

He shouldn't have been flying home on the same day he had appointments, that's really not that responsible. Especially flying during the spring months which can have hell-storm weather leading to delays.

Book smart, but maybe not too street smart.

He wasn't flying the same day he had appointments. He had a Sunday afternoon flight, and had appointments Monday morning. Pretty reasonable approach. If United had upped the incentive, some other party would have taken it and none of this would have happenned. For the sake of a few hundred dollars, United has a PR nightmare on their hands.

I don't work for United.. but I'm not sure why this passenger didn't just comply with the police asking him to leave. Does he also not pull over his car when police try to stop him?

You keep harping on about this lawful order nonsense. What is a lawful order? We don't live in a military state, just because someone says get up, including an officer, doesn't mean you have to get up. Sure, you'll face their wrath and deal with consequences, you'll be rewarded in court of course, but it's the GD principle. He had a ticket, an assigned seat and was already allowed to board the plane. There is no indication that he wa a threat or otherwise a danger to fellow passengers, he wasn't under arrest. The airline should've found another way to get their crew to their location and not at this mans expense.

Just stop. He was a threat:
