USA Today: UA forcibly remove random pax from flight
That's unduly pessimistic IMHO.
A passenger who is violent/disruptive/abusive will still be able to be offloaded under the terms and conditions that he/she accepted when buying their ticket. Yes, you will need to be sure to follow the procedure to the letter, but don't you already do that?
And if a flight is cancelled because of weather or the aircraft goes tech, your bolshie passenger is hardly going to cling to their seat while everybody else disembarks - what would be the point?

But he does have daughters.
Five children, apparently.
Five children, apparently.
the Dao family has five children, four of whom are doctors in different locations around the United States.
Tim is the oldest child in the family at 34-years old and is a cardiologist in Plano, Texas.
The second son is named Ben and he’s 31. Ben is reportedly a medical graduate while their daughter Christine, 33, is a doctor in Durham, North Carolina.
The youngest of the four doctors in the family is Angela, who is 27 and graduated with a medical degree from the University of Kentucky.
The other daughter is Christine’s twin, Crystal. She’s reportedly a married mother who lives in Barrington, Illinois.

Quite frankly a substantial amount was needed to effect the sea change needed in passenger treatment by airlines in America. I would imagine Munoz (he lost the upcoming Chairmanship position already) would want to take charge and put this thing to bed ASAP.
The amount has to have been large for Dao's lawyers to stop all other action against everyone else they could have charged.
Munoz did the right thing here, to have United take the fall on behalf of everyone else.
United was in a "no win" situation that could have only gotten worse as the wound got deeper and deeper and more infected.

I too am 70. Given such luck I would spend the dosh on having all that skin stretch and bootox business,a set of brand new shining teg implants, Sinatra style hair implants, finish the whole thing off with one of those magnificent sculptured noses and get rid of the scaramouche thing I`ve got. Then get a sculpture made of my bootful body in the starkers and have it planted right there in the middle of every airport terminal in the US.
