United strikes again

It's one thing to be oversold, but to have more pax than seats and still go?

This is not just a case of squashing another passenger on against the United code of carriage and 14CFR. This was a flagrant and deliberate breach of FAA safety regulations. A child of that size is not allowed to be on a parent's lap and would have died had their been an accident or even possibly severe turbulence.

Why is the FAA complicit in these safety breaches by these large airlines by never taking action? If this had been a low cost carrier from the Middle East FAA would be threatening its operating license, but United always gets away with it.

It now appears that people are so afraid of being roughed up that they won't stand their ground and argue with United staff.
I think this event requires a judicial investigation.
