Another good point. UA will not let this go to trial, letting it go to trial regardless of the outcome will just hurt their brand even more.

UAL seated him, then decided after boarding that they were going to pull him from the flight. 46k got pulled from flights in a year. By law, it may not be illegal. But it should not distract from the critical point that the airlines have clearly abused the system and that needs to be fixed. Overbooking and reneging on an obligation to provide paid services is a practice that absolutely needs to be discouraged. I don't want to see UAL pay for this so much as I'd like to see a bold, no bullshit plan to change this practice. I havr a feeling UA will pay a lot to sweep this under the rug, plug some bullshit reforms that don't fix anything, and customers will continue to get screwed |

I don't believe this is correct. He smacked his face when they first tried to drag him from his seat. He then ran back on the plane screaming but never actually got back to a seat.
The theory is that he was concussed and didn't know WTF was going on. |

Heh, I have no doubt. I assume he will be sitting in first class on Delta for all his flying needs in the near future.

No. I am having a discussion with you and I am responding to your points. Call it a beating or call it a love tap on the Doctor, the results are a broken nose and broken teeth. Intent doesn't matter, naming the physical altercation doesn't matter. I am trying to understand your point of view and challenging you about it.

This really hasn't done much to UAL's stock, which is interesting.
Last Friday, their stock closed at 70.88. When the market closed today, after UA took a PR Ballistic Missile in the ass, they closed at 69.07 - about a 2.5% drop.
