What do you expect from airlines that employ faggots rather than pretty stewardess
United is generally a pretty expensive airline to fly. When you're more expensive, reputation is important.
Let's say this incident forced them to lower their prices to compete with the less expensive airlines in order to get people to consider them again. End of the day, that would still be a win since it would cost them a fair bit of money to do so.
Sure, people still might fly them if they were the least expensive option. But they generally aren't. And that is a problem.
Although I'm sure this comment makes sense in your head based on something you saw once or whatever, it really just sounds like incoherent rambling.Quote:

Gonna need a good spin doctor for this, all over the world news.
I bet United staff are now the friendliest arselicking airline service in the US... for mow at least.
I will never fly with them. I hope they go bust.
United got even more free publicity than on social media , it was also discussed on the air waves, BBC radio had a field day covering this story, and they smell blood, they've even chased down the law inforcement officers in every department and cops are passing the buck from department to department.
Nobody wants to talk. They're all afraid.

United Airlines: Stock Drops Following Passenger Incident in Chicago | Fortune.com
Doctor dragged off United flight was
felon who traded prescription drugs for secret gay sex with patient half his age and took them himself - and he needed anger management, was 'not forthright' and had control issues, psychiatrist found
- Dr David Dao's troubled medical past is revealed in court documents
- His wife Teresa - also a doctor - reported him to medical authorities and his secret inappropriate gay relationship with a patient was revealed
- Father of five, 69, was convicted of a felony - but avoided prison time - because he was giving the man prescription drugs in return for gay sex
- He denied the gay sex even though he was caught on camera shirtless and in his pants with Brian Case, his lover, 26, who was a fellow worshiper at his church
- Psychiatrist found he had series of issues including lacking 'the foundation to navigate difficult situations'
- One doctor wrote that he 'he would unilaterally chose to do his own thing'
- He only got his licence back after agreeing to be drug tested and polygraphed
- United are facing a furious backlash and boycott calls over the video
- Their stock price plunged as Wall Street reacted to passenger fury
- DailyMail.com also reveals that the airline told staff he had 'tried to strike law enforcement' - despite no evidence for that on the video
- Dr David Dao has past of illicit gay sex with a patient, and tested positive for drugs, official documents reveal.
The medic, who specializes in lung disorders, was accused of refusing to give up his seat on Sunday's United Express flight UA3411 flight from Chicago to Louisville for the airline's staff.
Cellphone footage of the Vietnamese-born grandfather's ejection has caused an uproar with critics claiming officers were heavy-handed in taking the senior from the flight.
Dr Dao has not yet sued the airline but it is clear that if he did, the documents would be likely to be used by United in their attempt to defend their actions.
The row over its handling deepened on Tuesday as DailyMail.com revealed how United told its staff that the doctor 'tried to strike law enforcement'. That version of events is not apparently supported by videos taken by other passengers.
The disclosure of what they said to their own staff came after United's CEO, Oscar Munoz, was accused of being 'tone-deaf' for his non-apology to the doctor.
United lost $800 million of its value as shared plunged on Wall Street in the wake of the PR disaster.
The father of five, who has won sympathy globally over the incident, was given a suspended jail sentence for illegally obtaining and trafficking controlled substances by fraud and deceit.
He was also found to have in engaged in sex with a male patient- Brian Case, who he knew from the church they both attended - and then supplied him with drugs, including Oxycontin, in exchange for sexual favors.
The sexual liaisons, which happened motel rooms, were recorded by undercover agents. He paid $200 in cash each time he met Case.
The secret sex and drugs life of the doctor first came to light in in July 2003 when police alerted the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure of the allegations against him.
In October 2003 he was indicted by a Jefferson County Grand Jury for 'criminal acts of trafficking in a controlled substance, obtaining drugs by fraud and deceit, and unauthorized prescribing, dispensing or administering of controlled substances'.
His medical license was suspended later that month.
Dr Dao underwent intense scrutiny and re-training for several years after his convictions.
His wife Dr. Theresa Dao, who was with him on the ill-fated flight, has stood by him.
She first alerted the medical authorities about her suspicions of her husband’s involvement with a patient.
In 2015, his medical license was partially re-instated with restrictions placed on his access to patients.
The findings were revealed by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure in June last year and stipulated that monitoring had to be continued of the doctor’s behavior.
It was found that Dr. Dao had become sexually involved with a patient who had been referred to his practice, who was known as 'Patient A'. He was named in criminal court as Case, who was 26 at the time, half the doctor's age.
The board stated: 'During the initial evaluation, the licensee performed a complete physical examination, including a genital examination, for Patient A who had been referred for collapsed lungs and chest pain.'
The board's finding went on: 'Shortly after his first appointment, the licensee made Patient A his office manager; according to Patient A, he quit that job because of inappropriate remarks made by the licensee.
'After he quit, the licensee pursued him aggressively, finally arranging to provide controlled substance prescriptions to him in exchange for sexual acts.
'This continued for some time, with Patient A and the licensee meeting at hotel rooms and some of these meetings were recorded.
'At some point, the licensee began splitting some of the prescriptions with Patient A and gave Patient A money to fill the prescriptions.
Hmm....
I thought this story would dead in 2 days.
Now, maybe in 2 weeks.
No wonder the poor fooker wanted to remain anonymous.
With the reputation of a major airline and Billions at stake this fookers not even gonna have a wizards sleeve when everything's finished.

Feel sorry for his family.
Instead of being a role model doctor dad he's now a 69yo gambling,psycho drug taking, gay sex maniac who's claim to fame is being kicked out of his seat on a plane for fook all.
The poor doctor was having flash backs to being previously arrested and reacted thinking he was being arrested again.
I believe there's more than a remote chance, that additional info will exonerate United. Why would the United CEO make statements that has, without knowing more than we at this point know?
Never underestimate how much a nutter, can manipulate how things look at first glance.
The power of social media, i doubt it.Quote:

Well yes. What's the worst case scenario here for United - a settlement of a few thousand dollars? What actually happened to the guy ... a little cut, some bruises maybe, there just isn't enough for it to be 100s of thousands or millions. No one died, nobody is maimed. There isn't going to be a boycott of United or anything like that, especially now that its know the "victim" is a weird old Asian man.Quote:

Can't remember the airline, but everyone was smiling...
According to CNN, the crew had to be at their destination the next morning or another United flight would have been cancelled.Quote:

What would have resolved it was for a United manager with some personality to board the plane and explain why they need the seats, then offer more compensation.
"$800 not enough? Yeah I wouldn't settle for that either, how about a cool $1,000?! AND three nights at XYZ luxury hotel on United's dime? Woe is me, I'm gonna get fired but I like you guys so let's make a deal. Any one want a drink?"
The United CEO hedged his so called apology, trying to keep on the good side of his employees. Is their Union that powerful?
My second point is, unfortunately this will blow over in a few months. Don't agree? How about "Amazing Thailand" where they some times beat tourists senseless, including even murder. Then bungle the investigation like a troop of Keystone Cops (so the real perps aren't charged.)
People started boycotting Amazing Thailand di ba? :deadhorsebig:
What were the cops doing there anyway. he wasn't breaking the law. He should have said arrest me or fuck off.
Yesterday I posted a joke about this on Facebook, but United had it forcibly removed.
Agreed. The CEO needs to tear up, hat in hand and make the mother of all apologies.Quote:

According to CNN, United flies more Chinese to the USA than any other airline- and Weibo was going into melt down about this :)
Yeah, it could have been settled with a little more cash/goodies.Quote:

The "good doctor's history" is a part of it...If that little "biography" is accurate, the guy was a "time bomb"...
Called it "right"...He was a "nutter"...
Not defending United and the "American Way"...But the little booger is not so innocent...
Fact remains he was minding his business in a seat he'd paid for.
For reasons which have repeatedly been pointed out, they're a part of fuck all, though no doubt the United lawyers came in their pants when they read this (if they weren't actually responsible for the story themselves). Obviously, though, this aspect will play to a certain type of racist fuckwit (hello blue), who will now think the airline are proud purveyors of Aryan Christian values.Quote:
