I say mentally unstable because he certainly "loses the plot"...But it simply may be that he figures he's above all others and will not stoop to the level of other "mere mortals" and disembark when told to do so...
I think there was something written here already about the seat booking "disclaimers"...In other words, you may be asked to "give up your seat"...And we see that some airlines actually screen their passengers to see which ones they might ask first...
If that's so, he needs to leave when asked...Just like the rest of us...If it's not so, then good for him for being a mental midget who would risk "life and limb" over such a "major inconvenience"...
I cannot tolerate bullying and beatings and all the crap that goes with it and will always be drawn to help others in distress...And that's the reaction of all the other people on the plane...They hate what they're seeing...And hearing, especially...If he had not been screaming like a pig, they would probably have carried the poor barstard off and "we would've" just raised our eyes a bit...Right or wrong...
It's the bloody drama of it all...
^^ Very.
When assaulted or violently intimidated by overwhelming force, it's advisable to yell and scream for help and witness to the event, as the victim did.Quote:

Look, his reaction to being dragged from a seat he'd paid for and been giving a boarding pass for is irrelevant. He didn't assault anyone, and yet he has a broken nose and two lost teeth for his trouble.Quote:

Their third fuck up was picking ANY passenger to be thrown off.
Their fourth fuck up was being so stubborn as to call in the feds to drag someone off the plane.
And their biggest fuck up was doing this because they wanted to seat their own employees instead of paying customers.
The CEO has offered an unreserved apology and stated that the passenger did nothing wrong.
Mark my words this is now simply a matter of how much they are willing to pay to make this go away without it going to court.
Eight figures, probably. And trust me it would be the cheaper option than having yet more bad publicity.
^ Fair enough, Harry...He brought it all on himself, regardless...And we all must suffer through it...
Absolutely. When did the airline know they needed to carry staff and why did they decide to carry the staff on that flight after it had been boarded?Quote:

United Airlines brought it all on themselves.
For sure.
agree: humongous commercial arrogance on display for all to see...unmitigated by smiling flight attendants or friendly announcements by the captain...Quote:

No, the media did not identify the wrong David Dao as United's passenger - LA Times
Matt PearceContact Reporter
No, the news media did not get the wrong David Dao.
Angry allegations have been flying across social media on Wednesday, charging that local and national news outlets misidentified Dao, an Elizabethtown, Ky., physician, as the passenger that security dragged off a United Airlines flight on Sunday.
The Internet rumors stated that the real David Dao who was pulled off the flight was actually from Louisiana, where records and Google searches show there is a second man by that name who practices medicine. Media outlets had already been widely criticized over their coverage of the story and questioned over why it was relevant to publish details from Dao’s criminal history.
So for many social media users, if the Internet’s Louisiana theories were true, it would show that the news media was not only irritatingly invasive, but libelously sloppy — accusing another David Dao of past crimes he did not commit.
Except the Internet’s Louisiana rumors aren’t true.
“That is totally wrong, yeah,” said a receptionist who answered the phone at the office in Elizabethtown where Dao’s wife works. She confirmed that, yes, the Elizabethtown David Dao is the same David Dao who was on the United flight.
