I think as Damien says there's more to this than meets the eye.

Row 21 on that plane is an exit row with substantially more legroom and clearly not a standard economy row.

Nice try by the couple.

I believe that in accordance with general company guidelines and policy, why weren't these people duffed up.

I notice they said the flight had loads of empty seats, perhaps united don't need to worry about overbooking anymore for some reason

Jane Moore's column in my redtop today has the new suggested UA slogan "United puts the hospital into hospitality"

Unbelievable, the world's biggest rabbit has died mysteriously in their care now! If I'd been Simon 's owner I'd have defiantly had the necropsy done, if only to check for bruises

When the bunny was found unwell, an emergency call went out "Is there a Doctor on board?" unfortunately.......

Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking

United Airlines has reached a settlement with a Kentucky doctor who was filmed being dragged forcibly from a flight in Chicago.

Dr David Dao was treated in hospital after aviation police physically removed him from the plane to make space for four crew members on the flight between Chicago and Louisville, Kentucky.

Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking

I would have took them all the way. They have now essentially settled out of court and they included a non-disclosure agreement with the family upon acceptance of the settlement. I'd say about $10 Million minimum settlement offer.
