This is all on United Airlines. I applaud the guy for standing his ground under these circumstances. United could have avoided this situation by:
1. Prioritizing paying customers over its employees (it certainly would not have been fair to the employee, but at least they are in a business where delays are frequent and expected)
2. Better yet, stop overbooking and keep a few seats open in case of emergencies.
I imagine the people defending United in this thread would feel differently if they had an important place to get to, but are forced to get off of their means of transportation because of overbooking or because the transportation company wants to give priority to another group of people.
