United Airlines controversy isnt about overbooking at all
The lawyer for Dr. David Dao, now the world’s most famous de-planed passenger, wants his client to be a symbol, not just of the dehumanization of air travel, but of all corporate bullying.
“I think corporate America needs to understand that we all want to be treated with the same respect and the same dignity that they would treat their own family members,” he said.
But what is Corporate America? It’s made up of employees who, in this case, could have done the right thing if they’d wanted to.
Even soldiers have a duty to refuse an unlawful order.
Someone could have said, “Stop! This is stupid! The guy paid for his seat. We’re not gonna call the cops to drag him off the plane!”
But instead, the airline employees and the cops decided we’re going to do this no matter what.
