>buy ticket for seat on plane
>airline sells another ticket for the same seat
>profit??

United had every right to kick him off but did not have the right to bloody him up. they should have kept upping the ante

Holy shit I just found out that continental is now united. I used to fly continental all the time.

United should have went with the free market way of solving the problem.

United confirmed for commies

You fatass

Still violating the NAP
Try harder

He booked that specific flight months in advance because he had to get home because he had surgery to do the next day. Also it's not "cash" they'll give you vouchers which are near enough useless unless you know that you're entitled to cash and tell them they're obligated to give you cash.

> being american
kek

How hard would it have been to kick to the people who bought the duplicate seat tickets?

If it's so easy why didn't they put their employee on a flight that left 90 minutes later??

>months in advance
>important surgery

Maybe in the U.K. this shit excuse might fly, in the US, it's doesn't work.

It's a 5.5 hour drive from Chicago to Louisville.

Agree. I don't like it but flying is pretty fucking simple post 9/11...do what you're told, no matter what.

Seems simple to just comply and not fuck around.

> nb4 FASCIST NAZI HITLER DRUMPF

It's not about right/wrong...it's about making this shit as smooth as possible. Yet every time you have retards like this who insist on making things difficult

> why can't I bring my machete on board???
> why can't I take my water thru security???
> why do I have to take my shoes off???

All this guy had to do was accept the $800 voucher, negotiate for them to rent him a car thru Enterprise and drive the 4 hours from Chicago to Louisville in peace and quiet. Boom, done!

The airline won't pay for the car rental or any expenses apart from the hotel, Jewish travel voucher, and your next plane ticket.

Driving is also very tiresome

I know it is unpopular, but I believe that the police who bloodied this passenger should be publicly executed. The CEO of United should also be publicly executed.

they never offered the maximum amount they are authorized to offer

This makes an incredible amount of sense but:

>ehhhhhheeeehhnngnng!!!
>MY PATIENT!!!

op is a shill fag. these repeating end integers prove it

So is surgery

Can someone explain to me why normies care so much about this?

Unless you are poor as fuck, your day should be worth a lot more than what they offered.

But then he would show up at surgery tired out instead of well rested like he was expected to be if he had been allowed to fly

Not sure if this is true, but I've been told there is no maximum. If I was Dr. Chingchong I'd have demanded the following:

> $1000 voucher
> Cadillac Escalade rental via Enterprise
> gas card
> courtside seats to a Bulls game next time I'm in Chicago

United didn't do shit to him. It was the officers that hurt him

Airlines parasitically attach themselves to the police-state authority of the TSA and post 9/11 FAA - not to enhance customer security and safety, but to simply grind revenue out of passengers. Period. That's the story.

While United has a side to present in this story, that side relies less on their contract rights to bump passengers (though I doubt that that contract mentions anything about "by any means necessary") and instead rely almost entirely on this authority they have conferred upon themselves that neither the FAA nor the TSA have bothered to hold them up against a wall to tell them, "We're the fucking cops here, not you."

Why the fuck not just send the other passengers on the flight 90 minutes later, instead of yanking someone off that has already handed over their fucking ticket?

I don't care about the fact they beat up the guy, thats just unfortunate for everyone involved. But, fuck, it's not a good business practice to take things back from a customer that already paid. I hope United goes out of business and the slack gets picked up by Southwest Airlines

Flight wasn't overbooked

That's fake news

usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/04/11/united-ceo-employees-followed-procedures-flier-belligerent/100317166/

What? That airplane is private property. If they ask you to get off, you have to get off.

>The airline won't pay for the car rental

absolute horseshit

> driving is also very tiresome
to your lazy ass maybe. I'd much rather a quick 4 hour drive in a car with my tunes/podcasts than a 2 hour flight of screaming kids, smelly curry farting indians, turbulence, then waiting another hour for my luggage at baggage claim, then having to still commute home

>trespassing on private property
>get upset when forcibly removed
Ayy lmao

Buying a United ticket on my next flight because Fuck You user

He had every right to be on the plane because he paid to be on the plane. they would also need to evict him from the plane via court following your logic.

I've demanded for a car rental before and was turned down

public outrage is rarely a single incident user
the airliner has been doing some interesting things lately...
>remove skimpy dressed girls (leggings)
>remove kebab (made someone uncomfortable)
>now makes doctor a patient
also the whole overbooking & bumping off flights thing is overdue for riots

Yep. The latest example of "pointless shit no one cared about until someone posted a video of it on facebook".

Overbooking is like #9001 on the list of terrible things about air travel.

Cool story. It's private property. You do what the owner says or leave

Guess I can rent my house as a hotel room, and after i take their money remove them from my property by force.

Nothing wrong with this according to united.

Flight wasn't overbooked

if you read the NAP it told you that you could be ejected at any time for any reason.

Fuck off bootlicker

>He had every right to be on the plane because he paid to be on the plane.

Nope.

With the right crew, if this needed to be done on Southwest they would have made a festival out of it and had the customer laughing so hard he'd leave the craft laughing, with glitter in his hair, a bottle of champagne in his hand and nine leis wrapped around his neck.

Nice try bootlicker. People like you are exactly why globalists will take over America

Regardless of how the law falls on this, it was a fucking disaster PR move. You do not drag someone out like that who paid a ticket unless they're a threat.

Go ahead, I don't care. Im sticking with free luggage on SW. Go ahead and pay 60 bucks just to be able to have your clothes with you

Politiely get better things to shill your time for. CHARTER. FLIIIIGHTS

Honestly what united did was wrong. This guy is a piece of shit anyways...but united was still wrong, and because of that the piece of shit is now the good guy.

I'll do to you then

>using force

The leggings thing and this are justified and there's nothing wrong with it. Don't know about the other things though

There were more passengers than seats available for them. That's overbooking.

That's fake news amigo

Not what happened

>Innkeepers laws
>EXACTLY THE SAME THING as global air travel

Mods please ban. 14 year old detected

Asian mentality about entitlement. However, i would not let a 70 years old asian man drive for 5 hours though...

You're just using their side to make yourself feel different then the rest. Fucking snowflake.

legally right != ethically right

Yeah absolutely true. However, that just doesn't even need to happen, I have never seen an overbooked flight on SW, and I fly a lot. The only times southwest asks to reaccommodate customers is if they're late because they got to the airport late, or their connecting flight was delayed, or theres some sort of emergency. Even then, it's rare for the flights to be 100% full

They took the seats off the market. A private company isn't required to sell something it doesn't want to.

>too stupid to understand what a contract is or how they can override private property
Go try to kick a legal tenant out of an apartment building out for no reason and see how well that works for you kid.

He gave no indicated reason to be removed, he wasn't bothering anyone or making threads or doing anything illegal.

He violated no parts of his contract.

So the little black girl who was told to get off the bus to make way for the white person to take her seat should have just done so too?

Hmm...

Pretty anyone with any expertise on the issues involved came to the same conclusion - yeah United had the right to remove the passenger.

Oh - and it was also pretty much brand suicide, and well-deserved at that.

>fuck laws and contracts and shit.

>because he had surgery to do the next day.
bullshit, he had lost most of his MD privileges after being caught trading Rx of opiates for gay sex and money about ten years ago. the only doctoring he can do today is being a basic internist. whatever type of doctor he was, he isnt any more.

found the NAPfag

Every seat was booked and they were allowed to board, then they said they needed 4 volunteers to leave for their employees to take a ride so they could do a flight tomorrow.

That's not overbooking, that's poor insight.

>Mods please ban. 14 year old detected
>someone proved me to be a massive retard, better call them 14!

He was asked to get off by the owners of the private property. He should've gotten off no questions asked. He did not get off. He was asked by law endowment to get off. He should have gotten off no questions asked. He did not get off. That's when force comes in and it was done by the officers so United did nothing wrong

There were 70 seats and 70 passengers. Then United decided that they wanted to pull off four paying customers to accommodate their employees instead, instead of finding a different method to transport those employees.

Fuck that. The people paid and United tried to renege. Then they caused someone to get hurt over it.

United did nothing wrong. Nu/pol/ is SJW

thispost is bestpost

No.

Your landlord can't legally throw you out without meeting certain conditions, and an airline can't kick you off a plane without meeting certain conditions. It just so happens that the airline's conditions are much, much broader.

When you buy a ticket you have a contract. They weren't overbooked, and if they're not overbooked they can't tell you to get off the plane without cause.

Yes.

So is 1 angry gook > than the 70 people who would have had their flight cancel without that staff taking those seats?
Serious question, we never would have heard about it without the episode.

>WHOO AREE YOUU??

>and an airline can't kick you off a plane without meeting certain conditions. It just so happens that the airline's conditions are much, much broader.

Well according to this the conditions are you being alive.

>yes goyim, we have the right to break a contract anytime we please!

Boarding isn't finished until the doors are closed and the plane leaves the terminal. No one was "boarded", and there's no law saying the airline can't suddenly decide a flight has 4 less available seats than it did 10 minutes ago.

>unironically defending the business practices of jews

lol

Yes they can. It doesn't matter AT ALL why they want you off. It is THEIR property, not yours, so you HAVE to get off. Though they would need to give your money back

Yes and that's United's fault. They can't break a contract just because they're shit at logistics and have poor planning.

Also, the flight wouldn't have been cancelled. They'd have just found alternative transportation. Charter a plane if they have to, they're a fucking airline.

>The people paid and United tried to renege.

Read the contract and the law. The whole "Yeah you paid for a ticket but that doesn't necessarily mean you actually get to fly" thing is written explicitly into both of them.

If you don't like it, take it up with your congressman and the army of airline industry lobbyists buying him hookers and blow.

United is on the right here. Once I went to the movie theater here and the house was full because it was the premiere of broke back mountain. I had my booked seat and was happily eating my vegan popcorn when two clerks came to me and demanded that I leave my seat because the dog of the owner wanted to chew some furniture.

They didn't even botter to offer me a voucher. They just dragged me to a nearby aley, beat me up, killed me and dumped my body in the woods.

Southwest have customer service down cold. Just check out any gate area where they operate. At first glance it looks like absolute chaos - the trading pit at CBOT or something. Passengers line up in this weird ritual to get on board - you can barely distinguish the people in these lines from others waiting for other flights. But people get on board with little or no drama, and the flight takes off no problem every time.

I fly SWA 6-8 times a year to Las Vegas and have never once heard them ask for volunteers for overbooked flights.

Lmao, do you even know what the contract is?

Not how contracts work.

That's not written in there anywhere. They need cause to kick you off.

You really think so? I would imagine it would be more like:
>Flight cancelled
>weather in Chicongo
>sorry, act of God, good luck getting where you want to go

Oh fuck this brings me back

...

>wanting to restrict what businesses can and cannot do even further

hello socialist

Yeah, a binding agreement between two parties.

They need to report those things to federal regulators. They can't just lie about it.

That's not how a contract works you fucking commie.

25 doesn't work because the flight wasn't overbooked.
usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/04/11/united-ceo-employees-followed-procedures-flier-belligerent/100317166/

So it's just rule 21. And none of that can be used to remove him.

Yeah, the weather was shit in Chicago the other night. Don't you /CPD/? Easy to say they couldn't get staff in to position to do the flight. The way I see it, they were doing the people who needed to get to surgical theaters on Monday a favor.
