I just saw a new video of the doctor in question, before the removal on the airplane.
The guy had it coming, the police were quite patient with him actually.
Now the airline concedes
that the flight wasn't overbooked. When the lawyers are done with United and the city of Chicago will see who exactly had it coming. United just handed a winning lottery ticket to this individual.
I don't care who you are, El Capitan or a Walmart security official, passengers have rights.You can't arbitrarily remove a passenger that has been already issued a seat. What's the difference between being issued keys to your room only to be told midway through your hot shower that you have to vacate your room because the hotel now decided to give your room to one of their staff.
