Crazy to think that the police are acting as the muscle to enforce united's shitty business practices. This guy is gonna get a lot of money and domestic airlines will continue to suck.

This guy has all the luck.

I would love to take a bump on my head, a bloody lip, and a missed flight in order to get paid. I wouldn't even want to have to get enough money not to work again, just enough to live in a house without payments.

Does this guy have mental problems? His bitchy scream and mumbling "kill me" seems like he might be off.

Now he can get paid even more.

Lucky

Clearly there is more to this story. The video I watched you can hear at least one passenger thanking the officers for doing their job. Is there a video that better shows the incident? The one I saw you just hear him screeching like a crazy woman and then a scuffle.

United Airlines fail.
$1000 and a couple RT tickets would have been a bargain and I'm sure thay would have had many takers.

Anyone who films a video in portrait mode deserves the same treatment :fight:

Apparently some lady came on board and smugly said $800 was the final offer. Someone said I'll leave for $1600 and got laughed at

As though we needed another reason not to fly United/American. :toilet:

So much for the free markut and competition, weeding out the bad companies.

United has the worst customers service (official), it's the shittiest airline known to man and by any standards shouldn't be in business at all but instead they made $2.3 billion net profit last year. :foreheadslap:

That 2.3 billion could have gone to extra legroom. :censored:

Everything for the profits.

High time that profits start getting a bit too high without anyone but shareholders (?) reaping the benefits, start instituting a 110% effective tax rate. :socrazy:

Better videos at this link. His injury isn't from being hit. He falls as he struggled and hits his face on the aisle armrest of the seat on the other side of the aisle.

Multiple people on the plane said the guy was not belligerent and it was totally undeserved. You need to turn your retard meter down a few notches, it's been on overload. That's one thing you don't want to crank to 11

Devils advocate: Why did it take three police officers to forcibly pull him from the plane? Why didn't he comply peacefully when someone in authority explained the policy or when facing 3 guys with badges? Why do people think that being belligerent with big guys wearing badges is going to work out well for them?
