Soundwave said: United is going to get sued off their ass for this, this guy is going to get a giant fat settlement because no way they want this going to court. Overbooking is a shit policy by these airlines, it was only a matter of time before there was a PR blow up about it. |
Actually United will settle but the guy can get absolutly nothing. Once you are asked to leave and refuse you are tresspassing. From there they can remove you and if you resist then anything from there can be attributed with being your fault. What people have to remember is that under federal regulations airlines can overbook and they have the right to deny you service on that flight. Federal regulations to stipulate they have to reimbuse up to a certain amount.
