United Amends Crew Booking Policy After Man Dragged off Plane
A United spokesperson confirmed to NPR that the policy change is "to make sure crews traveling on our aircraft are booked at least 60 minutes prior to departure. (Note went through a couple of articles this site has the best description) (aliveforfootball.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Another "authority" issue on a different US airline.
I'll let you find the full story.
Regardless of who was at fault, the employee's statement "Try it, hit me... “Come on, bring it on", is evidence of my previous statement that some airline employees can't calmly deal with being challenged and then over-step their authority.

One major solution that would decrease the chances of a flight being overbooked is for airlines to stop operating these dinky toy commuter jets & use aircraft that are at least the size of a 737-700. For this, I blame United. (Although they're by no means alone.) I place about 80% of the blame on the passenger. United offered him $800 plus free accommodations. He couldn't have handled the situation any worse. If he had just disembarked the way the other 3 passengers did then this incident would have never occurred.
Oh boy, you just perked up my ears when you say "dinky toy commuter jets". You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Fly in a 19 seat turboprop and then tell me what dinky really is.
These are some of the most sophisticated airliners on the planet. They fill the routes that a 300 passenger jet could never support. They give smaller markets a service. They are flown under the exact standards as your stated 737-300.
I suppose you want the three majors to fly half filled large aircraft at a loss? That is nonsense.
Airlines are not a public transportation system like a subway or metro or a bus route.
As to address the doctor who refused to disembark---he really screwed up.

Nothing - NOTHING - in the press - about this mans over the top theatrical behavior. I don't really think that the airline has a policy to beat the crap out of passengers who won't comply. If you saw the You Tube video, the only conclusion could be that this guy was a complete whacko. This was nothing more fitting the situation to the template for the news gathering organizations that corporations are nothing but an evil entity. Completely ridiculous.
Or something else in the news cycle that the networks wanted to divert attention away from.
Stop throwing them under the bus!
He was told (ordered) to do something and refused! Again, if you refuse to obey the orders of authorities, especially law enforcement, bad things will happen!
If people would learn to listen first and ask questions later, there would be a lot less confrontations.
