My thoughts on Asian doctor forcibly removed from United flight (VIDEO)

[KT2000]

125. I am aware of flight disruptions

due to weather.
United handled this in the worst way possible - after everyone was seated?

First of all - it is United's responsibility to get their crews where they needed to go. Rent a small airplane if necessary.
But -
Before boarding they could have explained that due to the weather crisis they needed to get crew to that destination and make their offer to the passengers - at the terminal.
When and if no one responds, and once seated, they should be sensitive to the reasons anyone would have for not leaving the plane. I am willing to bet that this man has a very strong obligation to his patients - beyond what most white American doctors may have.
Personally I would accept his reason and go to the next person who has spent the least amount of money on airline travel. (That's some criteria there!)

Again, question if they would be willing to leave the plane and make a determination of their reason if they say no. Keep going down the list. Take a flipping hour to do it if necessary.

We should all be on guard to preserve humanity in the face of corporate power backed up by law enforcement officers. The doctor was right to not sacrifice his humanity to some faceless corporation that only sees humans as dollar signs.

If no one was willing to leave - rent a freakin plane for the crew.
