UAL just took full responsibility and is admitting wrong doing.
Lawyers must have told the Execs how much is at stake.
I'm guessing 20M!

The UA contract clearly said they could remove any passenger for any reason, should they? No, not in my opinion. But it is in writing.
Watching that sniveling pussy scream like a stuck pig was pathetic, and nobody is talking about that...giving the wimp a complete pass after that pathetic display.
They should have done some real damage to the slimy lawsuit-seeker. When they told him to get his ass up, he should have gotten up. The rest is justified unless he was physically unable to rise.
When he ran back onto the plane? Criminal trespass charges... So you work in UA PR department or just applying for a job there? You are an idiot with a bully mindset! Now that's in writing.

We can look for major airlines to totally BAN cell phone use of any sort once you board the plane now...

Airlines sell tickets for a specific seat on a specific day. That seat is priced for a particular time of day, via a particular route to the final destination. The price of that seat is not fixed. The price is either discounted or marked up depending on the demand for each unique combination of travel services. Despite the fine print in their travel contract, the airline should be obligated to deliver the service specified.
Ultimately, they answer to the free market and the court of public opinion.

It can right or it could be wrong. It could be legal. I bet a dollar to a donut they don't want 6 on a jury deciding. They want care what the fine print on the ticket says. They will just watch the video. Hasbeen

If compensation for forced bumping started at 20x the ticket price, I bet their booking policies would be immediately vastly improved. It has just been too easy to let the passengers eat the problems for a long time.
I was more than happy to see NorthWorst disappear.

Yeah, but everyone knows the guy exchanged gay sexual favors for drugs, under the guise of his medical license.
He's an international pervert joke.

In the fine print on the ticket it says they have the right to do this. You buy the ticket, you agree to the terms. This is a PR nightmare, but it won't do the guy any good to hire a lawyer.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

You figure he got one of these written statements?
"DOT requires each airline to give all passengers who are bumped involuntarily a written statement describing their rights and explaining how the carrier decides who gets on an oversold flight and who doesn't. Those travelers who don't get to fly are frequently entitled to denied boarding compensation in the form of a check or cash."

You wanna bet? The notion that laying down your hard earned cash only buys a vague notion that the airline gets you to a certain location, but only in a time frame that best suits them is ridiculous.
