They should do it at the gate
before they go on. Left it to late what a mess. |

They shouldn't do it at all.
They should have just let the guy board the damn plane peacefully without stressing him out and traumatising him. If that was me I would have chinned them security *****!!! Overbooked or underbooked, he should have stayed on that plane!!!

According to the BBC when the captain ordered people off to accommodate four members of staff who needed to travel, this person was required to be removed.
It is not yet proved that he is a doctor, that could have been a lie by him to try and stay on the flight. By refusing to leave he was therefore belligerent and disruptive and in violation of the law. United Airlines are well within their rights according to this story on the BBC website, to have this man prosecuted, and I suspect banned for life from UA flights. If they take this action and make an example of this man then such incidents will never happen again as people will know what happen to them in the courts if the do not do what they are told and leave when told to do so!!! I hear now the CEO is offering some apology Big mistake, as Gibbs (NCIS) says, "Never apologise - it is a sign of weakness" The CEO should stand his ground and say something like this Quote:

That is what a number of experts say, they should have done it at the gate, the problem was that these four staff presented themselves late, and they take priority of fare paying passengers. The staff were needed at the other airports and strict FAA rules regarding working hours meant they could not drive the distance

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

Would people care so much if he weren't a doctor? Or if he didn't kick up a storm? What about the couple who were kicked off before him and left without a peep? Will they get millions in settlement too? |

If they needed four seats why not just stop the last four passengers from boarding? Those four would be pretty disgruntled admittedly, but better than being hauled off a plane you are already in.

"David Dao, a 69-year-old doctor from Kentucky..."
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7679426.html He paid for the seat he was sitting in. No way should he have been dragged off by a group of thugs.... which is how they acted. |

Doctor or not he has somewhere to be the following day, needing to accommodate 4 staff in a different location seems to me like poor planning on Uniteds behalf, when he refused to get off it should have been offered up again to the plane, often on reflection people might have a change of heart and decide they didn't mind going on a later flight, the staff who needed to travel turned up late, they need to address this issue as well

Watching the clips of this over recent days just defy belief. How dare the airline and the police treat a paying passenger in this way. I hope he sues huge.
