JS'ing is different from DH'ing.
Likely jumpseating, sitting in the cabin instead of the flight deck?
If the vital crew needed so badly could have gotten seats on a different carrier and done so without displacing and inconveniencing paying customers, what would have been the difference?
Actually, it would have saved $$ as well. No comp checks, no hotel vouchers.
As it sits, United set up a catastrophic situation because of poor resource management.
Aggravated by trying to fill every seat one hundred and ten percent.
And they've dragged others into a legal situation which won't end well.
Beat the **** out of some trailer trash drunk dude who carried a garbage bag on as carry on luggage, you'll get away with it.
A doctor?
Not so much.
Stepped in dung, they have.
