One lucky guy...

Only in America can a [prohibited topic] dealing homosexual Chinese *FMG Physician (who was officially put on probation by his medical licensing board in his state) get dragged off an airplane by a black security guard and now have a good shot at becoming a millionaire payable by an airline that had the right to do what they did!!

BTW, when they tell you to be go peacefully, they still voucher you for another flight, and give you the 800 dollar offer, or whatever it was they offered before they gave it up. They have to get those planes in the air or they lose their takeoff position.

It is their airplane and they have the right to kick you off their plane. It is similar to me or you having the right to kick someone off of our own property, and it is written into the airline ticket fine print.

In Texas, you are guilty of the crime of trespassing if you are given notice to leave and fail to depart, and the police in my city will sure as heck drag you off to jail if you do not go willingly upon notice to do so!!

If WTF disagrees, why don't we all arrange an appointment to look at his next 3 million dollar home for sale and refuse to leave....

3 bodies thrown out of plane

At least three people have been thrown out from a plane allegedly belonging to Mexico’s infamous Sinaloa drug cartel, once run by Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, local media reported. One of the bodies landed on the roof of a hospital.

According to local police, the bodies were dumped at dawn on Wednesday morning from a single engine plane in the Sinaloa State of Mexico. One of the bodies landed on the roof of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) hospital in the town of Eldorado at around 7:30 am. The half-naked man had signs of torture on his body with his head covered with a sack.

United and the Dr. had a contract. When the Dr. refused to leave he violated the contract. Violating a contract is in no way a criminal offence. This is a civil matter and the employees had no right to use force. The police should never have intervened for United. In fact they should have arrested the United employee for assault.

My analogy is this. If I sign a rental agreement and then do not pay the rent, I have not violated any law. It is a civil matter. Neither the police nor my landlord can physically remove me.

Since it is civil my landlord must take me to court and get a judgment forcing me out. Once the judge orders me to leave I must leave or it becomes trespassing at which time LE can force me to leave. Even then the employee can not assault me to get me out. I have been on the landlord side of this issue many times.

I say the guy walks with millions and more people will tell the airlines to fuck off once they are in a seat with a valid boarding pass.

Know your rights.

In my opinion, the only reasonable way for an airline to resolve an overbooking problem is to conduct an auction.

In most cases, one or two (or more) passengers can be bought off on the cheap ( re-booking on a subsequent flight plus a voucher for a discounted or free future flight, for example.)

Although that's good enough most of the time, occasionally it won't suffice. That's where a sort of cash auction is the airline's best option. Just authorize a senior agent or flight attendant to keep upping the ante until a passenger (or requisite number of passengers) accepts the cash offer(s). By way of that method, it's pretty easy to quickly find someone to take the deal.

That would cost the carrier a tiny, tiny, tiny percentage of aggregate revenue, and in the long run would be much better than randomly selecting passengers to give the boot. Nowadays, many passengers who feel fucked over by an airline post about it on Facebook or other social media, thus saddling the carrier with enough destruction of goodwill to negate many thousands of advertising dollars.

Pretty obvious and pretty simple, really. But then one rarely hears anyone singing the praises of airline managements.

They should have just upped their offer to $2,500, free plane ticket the next day and free hotel stay. Guaranteed at least 3 people raise their hand for that. Better to pay $2,500 than $2.5 million. With the original offer of $800 which nobody was interested in, you might actually see fights break out in the seats over people who want the $2,500.

As I said, a good hotel room, some spending money, a great meal, and a flight attendant of my choice. Or $2500 and I'll get my own escort.

Whatever happened to offering a free ticket to anyone willing to give up their seat and take the next flight? Non-time-sensitive travelers used to jump at that offer.

Now they just pick 'em randomly and FORCE you off the plane?
