There is a staffing shortage and it was decided last minute that they were needed to work a flight out of Louisville the following morning.

Too bad they refused to offer the full $1350. for giving up your paid seat.

True. Let's say they did up it to $1350 and there were no takers. What should they do then?

Then they should transport their staff to Louisville by alternate means - another airline, bus, paid car.

Well if it is true that the United employees were commuters than IMO it's their own personal responsibility to find a way to Louisville. They have chosen to live somewhere outside of Louisville but be based out of Louisville. If they can't get a personal pass to fly because the flight is full, then On to plan B. The duty is on the employee to find a way to get to work. This entire situation is so ridiculous. It's like society has lost its mind. No one intervenes as they gawk and watch this 69 year old man be dragged and bloodied. The United employees don't think well maybe this isn't going well. And he commuters are perfectly find manhandling this gentleman just so they can get to work free. The most sane one is the poor man.

And he has been identified and he is a doctor, married to a doctor, who has 4 grown children who are also doctors. He is Vietnamese American. He lives about 30 minutes from Louisville and did in fact have patients to see on Monday. What's it going to take to get humanity back?

I've only watched one video, but I feel we do need to give the other passengers a break. At least in the video I was watching they were speaking up about what they saw, and while it's easy to Monday Morning QB, I don't think we should give them too hard a time for not physically getting involved when the cops were called. And I'm sure none of them could have imagined things would play out as they did.

Oops. They picked the wrong guy. His settlement should be more than enough to send all his grandchildren to medical school. And then some.

This man is an American hero!

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.

I wouldn't be so sure about that!
