Physician removed forcibly from United flight after overbooking--UPDATED

[athena]

248. You seem very biased in favor of United.

1. It is United's fault that the flight was overbooked. According to your criteria, United can overbook every flight every time in order to make sure every flight is 100% occupied and thereby maximize its profit. Its customers will suffer as a consequence, but who cares about that, eh?
2. No, passengers do not and must not have any rights whatsoever. After all, this is the Corporate States of America.
3. Let us immediately call in the authorities and treat people like criminals by default, because humans solving humans among themselves in a respectful and dignified manner is unheard of!
4. A little excessive force would have been OK, then, just not "such" excessive force?
5. Let's call the police at every opportunity, and if they cause others harm, it's only their fault, not ours.
6. The passenger cannot possibly have wanted to keep his privacy. Maybe he's a modest guy and did not want to immediately point out how important it is that he needs to see patients. Corporations are innocent until proven guilty; human beings are guilty until proven innocent.
7. It sound like you see it as fucked up only on the side of the passenger who did not obey United's commands. After all, if he had, we wouldn't be hearing about this, and United's bottom line would not have been harmed by the negative publicity.

I just remembered that there is an Ignore button! That's where I put people who display an atrocious lack of empathy.
