He wanted to play the fall down game. This was an airplane seat, not Tiananman Square. I'm tired of people sticking up for the lowest common denominator.

The people if China are raising hell because they say he was taken off the plane because he was Chinese--whatever-race card here again--can't wait to protest when something happens to an old white guy-tired of this shit:0074

Overbookings (Involuntarily Denied Boarding)
For passengers traveling in interstate transportation between points within the United States, subject to some exceptions, United shall pay compensation to passengers denied boarding involuntarily from an oversold flight at the rate of 200% of the fare to the passenger's first stopover or, if none, final destination, with a maximum of $675, if United offers alternate transportation that, at the time the arrangement is made, is planned to arrive at the passenger's destination or first stopover more than one hour but less than two hours after the planned arrival time of the passenger's original flight.
If United offers alternate transportation that, at the time the arrangement is made, is planned to arrive at the passenger's destination or first stopover more than two hours after the planned arrival time of the passenger's original flight, United shall pay compensation to passengers denied boarding involuntarily from an oversold flight at the rate of 400% of the fare to the passenger's first stopover or, if none, final destination, with a maximum of $1,350.
IN CASH NOT VOUCHERS!
If not enough volunteers are found, the airline has the power to decide who gets ?bumped? off the flight, though that typically happens before boarding
The Department of Transportation does have clear guidance about compensation due to fliers "involuntarily denied boarding," and that can pay off in the case of a significant inconvenience. For example, an involuntarily bumped traveler who arrives to his final destination more than two hours late (fours internationally) is entitled to an amount worth 400% of his one-way fare (capped at a maximum of $1,350).
In the event there are not enough volunteers ? as was the case with Sunday?s Flight 3411 ? United's contract says preference will be given to ?Qualified Individuals with Disabilities, unaccompanied minors under the age of 18 years, or minors between the ages of 5 to 15 years who use the unaccompanied minor service ?.?
Beyond that, United does not spell out a hard and fast rule. Instead, the airline says only that ?the priority of all other confirmed passengers may be determined based on a passenger?s fare class, itinerary, status of frequent-flier program membership, and the time in which the passenger presents him/herself for check-in without advanced seat assignment.?

Very simply they should not have used any force in removing the passenger. Who are these morons making these decisions? Lets drag someone off a plane in front of 100 people with smart phones. Fucking idiots.
Yyz, it seems you and i are never on the same side of a discussion. I take pride in that....
Zero force should have been used in the removal of the petulant doctor.

So what are they suppose to do, sit on the tarmac for hours til someone gives up? He drew the short stick, man up and get off the plane! Now he will be a multi-millionaire for having an infantile tantrum and that is disturbing.
ANOTHER thing this flight was NOT i repeat NOT over booked IT was SOLD out!
NO Passnger has to give up thier Paid for seat.
SO The airline said letys give em Vouchers that aint worth the paper they are printed on.
Because you still would have to pay for hotel and meals on the vocher flight that has to be used within a year or they are void.
YOU paid CASH MONEY to Fly on that plane YOU better Give me CASH MONEY back and FREE flight on another of your fucking planes.
Wonder how the suits in united would feel if they got dragged off a plane.
BUT they are not subject to that just like others who are 1st class or 2nd class.
They go for the ones who got cheap seats or discounts.
LIKE i wonder why all this 1st class stuff and 2nd class exist.
Because the Food on planes is theeeee worst ever.
Gordon ramsey reported it.
I cannot fly due to health reasons.
Also the fear of todays air buses NOT maintained properly. That are just not safe.
IF i DO fly my ass is going on the NFL or NBA or MLB planes they never crash.

Once it was decided he had to go (and I'm not saying it was right or wrong that he had to go or how he was chosen) and he refuses then at what point do you use force? Do you just sit there until he changes his mind keeping everyone waiting for hours?
What if he never gives up? Do you then pick someone else? If so then this is going to go on forever as everyone just holds their ground.
Once the decision was made and he drew the short straw then force eventually needs used. If he refuses to budge then drag his ass off.
While being dragged down the aisle, you can hear him speak just before he goes out the door of the plane where he tries to sell the police officer a monorail ticket in Vegas.
