Their $1 billion in market cap loss seems to support your last sentence. The success of a company is dependent upon the support of the market and its consumers.

Also, they aren't a private company. They're a public company who has stakeholders and shareholders who determine the direction of the company. However, 1 stupid CEO is damaging them.


Maybe his job is to be the martyr. He handles it poorly, resigns, then the company gets to move on and look like they are turning over a new leaf with a new CEO. That's how they handle things like this in sports lol

Shitty situation.

Shitty for the company, shitty for the investors in said company, and shitty for customers that will probably feel some butterfly effect of this.

I'm curious what do you guys think would of been the proper response? Cancel the flight? Wait it out until someone finally decides to be chivalrous? I don't know too many details but to get reimbursed i would be okay with waiting a few more hours and not being a dick in the situation. If law enforcement came up and asked me, that's the point a rational person would just say fine i won't make a scene.

The Waffen SS had to do their job too. Stop pretending it excuses how this was handled, and stop using the loaded terminology of resisting when discussing the cops. He wasn't under arrest and he was in a place he was legally entitled to be. At no point is the airline's behavior excusable.



Gotta go with Terry on this one. The guy resisted they had to use force to remove him and in the process his face was accidentally cut which lead to some brutal pictures. Don't blame the police for this, they where responding to a disturbance on a plane where a passenger was refusing to leave, when they got there the passenger refused to comply with verbal commands and was resisting physical attempts to remove him so they picked his ass up and carried him off.

United is the bad guy here. They over booked, they chose to bump passengers, and they where the ones that called in law enforcement. Beat them up all you want for that, they deserve it.

It wasn't the police. It was united security afaik.
Even if it was the police they should have been on the passenger's side.

And do what exactly? Say airline people you guys suck for overbooking? How does anything here resolve the situation that the people want to go but it's not happening until they are under capacity. Wait it out? Cancel the flight?

Wrong

Quote
A Chicago Aviation Department police officer was placed on leave Monday, after he forcibly removed a United Airlines passenger from his seat and dragged him off an overbooked flight on Sunday.

Other passengers posted videos of the incident on Twitter and Facebook as three Chicago Aviation Department police officers forcibly removed the man from his seat on Flight 3411 from O’Hare International Airport to Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday.


And typical Chicago politics towards police and a bad pr incident takes place.

They should've chosen someone that bleeding hearts don't identify with... like perhaps a masculine looking fucking white male.

They should have done what aspen says is their policy. Keep sweetening the pot until enough people take the deal or suck it up, pay the overtime and hold their employees till the next flight
