Who is willing to defend United Airlines?

No rich white guys are ever asked to leave.

You are truly an imbecile, if they were really using racial profiling they'd be out of business from all the law suits.

"Airlines such as United select passengers to be involuntarily denied boarding based on a number of factors, including the fare class of their tickets, frequent-flyer status, their itinerary, and when they checked in to the flight."

If this "joker" were to have a jury trial, he'd get very little other than the expenses for medical treatment. As SCOTUS has ruled time and time again, "A corporation has and retain's the same basic rights as does any individual". By paying for and accepting the conditions related to purchasing a ticket for transport...this character agreed to a binding contract and the rules established by the airline.

It would come down to the same principles applied to anyone that owns property and the right to protect the space thereof. Its the corporations property, their rules....and the passengers binding agreement to accept the conditions specified. The most the airline could be charged in a court of law would be the same applied to any property owner.....excessive use of force resulting in the charge of personal assault and battery, or aggravated battery. The penalty for such varies from state to state....but the history of the defendant (the airline) would dictate the sentence.

In court....there would be a small settlement forthcoming. But....the airline will settle out of court because the amount of publicity this case has brought which will cost the air line more in lost revenue than any potential settlement, this will be settled out of court in the hopes of limiting the perception of public damage and future revenues.

As always, the press and their coverage makes things exponentially worse than the reality that exists. With all the "REAL NEWS" happening around the world....does anyone other than the gossip lovers really give a rats ass about this personal injury case? If so WHY as most of us civilized individuals would have simply obeyed the rule of law as it exists and nothing spectacular would have or should have occurred. This is really a non-story in relation to those who claim to be objective reporters of the NEWS. Just like the "joker" involved in this story....the press has only one objective in sight.....MONEY/RATINGS....its just another example of YELLOW JOURNALISM.

That was about "BOARDING", whereas the Dr. had already "BOARDED".

Just a little bit of a difference.

Well Ralph, we shall see; HUH!!
 
Here’s one thing United will do differently after the infamous dragging incident

United Airlines will no longer allow crew members to displace passengers who are already seated on a plane.

Under a new policy, which is meant to avoid future public relations disasters like the one the world witnessed earlier this week, airline crews are required to check in at least an hour before a flight leaves, the airline company said. The purpose is to avoid having to find a seat for a crew member after all passengers have already boarded.

The policy change comes nearly a week after a passenger was forcibly removed from a flight so a crew member could take his seat. Now-viral videos*of the incident*show the man being dragged out of his seat and down the aisle and off the plane.

United spokeswoman Maggie Schmerin said in an email that the new policy is meant to ensure that*such incidents will “never happen again.”*Previously, crews could be booked up until the time of departure, Schmerin said.

“This is one of our initial steps in a review of our policies to deliver the best customer service,” Schmerin said.

According to an*internal email published by TMZ, crews who are not checked in within the 60-minute window will have to book the next available flight.

No crew member “can displace a customer who has boarded an aircraft,”*according to the email, which was sent Friday. Schmerin confirmed the authenticity of the published email.

The incident, which set off a public relations crisis for United, happened at Chicago O’Hare International Airport last Sunday. A United official told passengers that it needed four volunteers to give up their seats for off-duty crew members. But no one volunteered, so the airline chose the passengers. One of them, 69-year-old David Dao, refused to give up his seat.

Videos taken by other passengers show a now-suspended security officer*with the Chicago Department of Aviation leaning over to grab Dao and pulling him up. At some point, Dao went limp, and the officer dragged him off the plane. Two other officers have been placed on leave.

The following day, United Airlines chief executive Oscar Munoz issued a statement apologizing “for having to re-accomodate” the customers. He also sent a reassuring*letter*to his employees, which appeared to blame Dao, saying he* “refused” to cooperate after he was “politely asked” to leave, prompting crews to*call for help.

The disturbing videos have been uploaded multiple times on YouTube, with one viewed more than 3 million times as of Saturday. The incident — and Munoz’s muted response to it — also prompted international outrage,*particularly from China, where public anger was fueled by reports that Dao is Asian. He is Vietnamese.

By Tuesday, United’s stock prices had plummeted, and Munoz issued a more humbled apology the same day.

“I continue to be disturbed by what happened. I deeply apologize to the customer forcibly removed and to all the customers aboard,” Munoz said of the passenger he seemed to fault in his letter to employees. “No one should ever be mistreated this way … It’s never too late to do the right thing. I have committed to our customers and our employees that we are going to fix what’s broken so this never happens again.”

Munoz also promised to review policies on how United handles overbooked flights, and to have a public report by April 30.

The United chief, who was awarded “Communicator of the Year” by PRWeek about a month ago, acknowledged Wednesday on ABC News’s “Good Morning America” that his immediate response to the incident “fell short of truly expressing the shame” he felt after seeing the videos.

A United a spokeswoman also said Wednesday that all the*passengers on the flight would receive compensation equal to the cost of their tickets.

In*a statement issued Thursday, United*said the company will no longer ask law enforcement officers to remove passengers from flights “unless it is a matter of safety and security,” and will review its training programs for employees.

Dao’s attorney, Thomas Demetrio, said at a news conference Thursday that his client will “probably” file a lawsuit. Dao suffered a concussion and a broken nose, and will undergo reconstructive surgery after losing two front teeth, Demetrio said.

The company also repeated its apologies, saying Munoz had reached out to Dao “on numerous occasions.”

Really. And and at what exact moment during the boarding process does that distinction occur? Be specific now as everything else you are still attempting poorly to show that you know is just as usual, wrong.

GEE, let me think.

Someone is waiting to be allowed to BOARD the plane and then the announcement comes that section x through y may now BOARD.
You walk down the gangway and begin BOARDING, enter the plane, and you are now BOARDED.

Yep, that's about it.

No. That is not correct at all. Not that I expected a loud mouthed uneducated fool like yourself to get it right. Try again.
