no, it's the incompetence of low-paying labor.
It is the incompetence of management who is cheap towards both their workers and their cusotmers. How dare they think they deserve million dollar bonus while paying their workers so little.
+1,000,000
This. If Munoz' dropped his salary by $1 million, that would cover adequately compensating bumped passengers. Another million from him, plus cuts to other executives would allow the rest of United's employees to be better compensated. He would still be making over $4 million a year, which should be enough to lead a very nice lifestyle.

It's funny. People on this thread keep saying "end of story," and then other ppl keep posting more. Maybe that phrase doesn't mean what you think it means.
Seriously. It's like they want to be f'ed over by a corporation.
Hello. They ARE the corporation posting here. Believe me.
Do you think United PR people or airplane lobbyists are here? This thread is interestingly long for just a couple of days of a story so far. It wouldn't surprise me if some industry types were regular DCUM readers.
Definitely. Welcome to Washington, headquarters of government affairs, and close knit friendships between our politicians and their high-powered lobbyists.

They called security because they wanted him off the plane. They wanted him off the plane because they were too cheap to offer enough compensation to entice someone to volunteer to get off the plane. They got security to literally pull him off the plane to protect a few hundred dollars of profit. It's disgusting and abusive and not acceptable.
Exactly. Their illegal assult of their legal customer will end up costing them many millions of dollars. That man's trauma has reverberated across the globe. If United Airlines wants to survive, it must completely revamp its top management.
They'll be fine.
There are now only THREE mainline carriers in the US.
I think they'll survive, but I for one will never fly them again. I don't care what I have to pay or how long my layover is. They are dead to me.

They offered him 4x his ticket price, pretty standard. He didn't comply which resulted in forced removal by the Chicago Dept of Aviation Security.
No they didn't. They offered $800 vouchers, which have restrictions and expire in a year. United caused this problem, they are responsible.

Thank you, PP and Dan Abrams. The plot thickens! I *almost* feel sorry for United Airlines. Has their bozo CEO found a new job yet?
