| fatslob-:O said: Most of these posts I see are prejudiced against United Airlines but the fair and just view would've been this: Under the code of federal regulations, title 14, chapter 1, subchapter F, part 91, rule 91.11 in subpart A, according to the Federal Aviation Administration it says, "No person may assault, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with a crewmember in the performance of the crewmember's duties aboard an aircraft being operated." Most of the people saying you can't deny service to a man after boarding are dead wrong as crewmember's can and WILL pick off and choose to remove people. The staff was well within their right to call security to remove the man. What is potentially wrong is security using excessive force but to his credit he got suspended. For anyone else thinking this is going to be a fruitful lawsuit are mostly wrong too, the plaintiff would most likely lose in this case so the best he could hope for is a small settlement outside of court at best. |
Do those duties include breaching the contract of carriage by removing random passengers from the aircraft after being seated for no other reason than it's more convenient to transport an employee? That rule wasn't made to cover this, and it all depends on what falls under crew member's duties aboard an aircraft.
