betsy

What law? The flight was not overbooked. All seats are filled by passengers who paid for their seats. United Airlines is likely to be the one who broke the regulations over this.

Argus, the respondents for the Petition of Discovery filed by Dao's lawyer are the City of Chicago and United Airlines. You can try to twist around over this, but that's the fact. We'll know more details as they investigate.

Who called them? For what?

Yes. It's a petition of discovery - it could turn out to be Republic.

Whatever. It's still United Airlines, along with City of Chicago, that's being petitioned. That's the fact. Maybe later, more details will come out. But right now - it's UA that's on the hot seat. Not Republic.

United sold him the ticket, and United had him booted out to give the seats to United employees! It was United employees who called the cops. Dao was speaking with United on the phone, trying to explain his situation (before he got dragged out). Here's the petition from the lawyer. Scroll a bit down. The respondents are City of Chicago and United Airlines. Nobody named Republic. http://heavy.com/news/2017/04/david-dao-lawsuit-press-conference-united-airlines-doctor-video-passenger-suing/ According to that petition, United Airlines operated that flight. I don't care what you think happened here. I'm going with the facts. Obviously the lawyer of Dao would know who to sue.

Here's how you find out what, Wilber. Answer these questions: Who's getting sued? Which airline is being named in a possible looming lawsuit by Dao?

I'm not baffled that Jews would react. Even educated non-Jews would've reacted if someone said the Nazis didn't use any chemicals! Read and understand what I was saying, and respond within its context:

I'm making a comparison about how holocaust and the Abrahamic God are treated by Jews. I'm talking about Jews who go ballistic like the way they do now with Spicer!

And you do? You may have that additional tidbit, but I don't think you got all the facts right! You're making assumption - you don't even know what agreement these two airlines has between them. Why is Republic Airlines hardly mentioned at all?? Why? Because it was United who was responsible for that incident! If United Airlines can wash its hands off on Republic, it would've done so already. Yet, here's the CEO United Airlines, lauding his employees.... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/11/read-united-ceos-painfully-tone-deaf-letter-employees-man-forcibly/ .......and a few days later, the CEO of United (not Republic), doing a big flip flop with an apology! http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-united-ceo-apology-dragged-passenger-0412-biz-20170412-story.html It was United employees who handled the situation. They called the cops!

UA CEO Munoz must be made to resign. Stockholders should demand it. Munoz proved himself incompetent - no wonder their employees are incompetent! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/11/read-united-ceos-painfully-tone-deaf-letter-employees-man-forcibly/ Either he didn't know all the facts, or he knew and he's okay with it: incompetent.

On a member's profile, "last visited" stated March 20 - and yet he posted in April. Does the "last visit" means visiting his own profile? I thought it meant visiting the forum.

Uh-oh. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/dot-united-passenger-probe_us_58ec77f3e4b0df7e2044b88c

Who do you think called the cops? And for what? To say, "please?" Btw, we now know that Dao has every right to be there. According to new info, it could be the airlines that most likely broke the regulations. https://www.inc.com/cynthia-than/the-controversial-united-airlines-flight-was-not-overbooked-and-why-that-matters.html

You know you're losing your credibility trying to defend the undefendable? Check out the new articles I gave above. If that's how you see things....hey, what more can I say Argus?

I'm the last one you'd accuse of being an anti-capitalist, Argus! I don't go blindly defending every capitalist, though. Bottomline: this airline committed an assault on their customer, who has done nothing wrong. They shouldn't get away with it. Why should they? The same law that applies to us should apply to them too!

A lot of case-workers are very young. And there are some that are on a "power trip." I think the case worker for this child is on a trip - coerscing and bullying the foster home to go against their religious belief. The case-worker could also be an anti-religious person, and her ideology is spilling on her work..... I don't buy Hamilton's CAS justification of this shutting down. Smooth transistion is not affected by what the foster home refused to say. The case worker made a bad judgement call. She had a missed opportunity of explaining to the child about varying beliefs, and she herself, should've told the child the easter bunny is real (if she feels so strongly about it). This case worker obviously believe it's real - must be close to the child's age. And Baloney to that CAS Admin. The child has to get bumped again and place in another location, he/she gets to adjust to a new foster place again.....and may be harboring the feeling that he/she's been rejected again! The child suffers in this bad judgement call! That's one of the major things CAS wants to avoid - shifting the child too many times! There's no reason why this child should've been shifted from the current home, and no justifiable reason why this home is being shut down.

I don't think there was malice involved. Trump is very much pro-Israel....that's why this reaction from Jews is very much baffling. Mind you, we got Jews who sides with the enemies of Israel. We see them in protests.

So what if he said it? He apologised for that mistake. I compared the reaction over how the Holocaust is being treated by Jews - it's like committing blasphemy if you ever said anything like this with Spicer. Yet I don't see the same people getting all hot if anyone insulted the Abrahamic God! The term holocaust, must be bigger than God!

https://www.inc.com/cynthia-than/the-controversial-united-airlines-flight-was-not-overbooked-and-why-that-matters.html Clearly, United Airlines created its own problem. By the looks of this, UA could be facing YUGE PUNITIVE damages. I hope so. Take them to the cleaners! For assault....and for breaking regulations! Big Time!

UPDATE: United Airlines was not over-booked. https://www.forbes.com/sites/christinenegroni/2017/04/12/united-flight-not-overbooked-airline-admits/?yptr=yahoo&ref=yfp#4958addf2f18

Uh....let's have a little head shake here, okay? Follow the logic. The Airline created a problem by over-booking breaking the rules. It's the airlines that compounded the situation by involving the cops. Like I said before....why didn't they up the ante until someone volunteers? I bet if they offered $2,000, plus free meals and accomodation until the next flight out, someone would. One airline company has given their employees instruction to offer up to $10,000 dollars for similar situations. Everything that happened after that was the consequence of that incompetent, hasty decision. That includes the reaction from this guy. We shouldn't justify ASSAULT of any kind.......even from airline companies. In fact, if you analyze the situation....it was the airline that had a hissy fit for not having their own way. They forgot to use tact and other options. They hastily called the cops. Btw, there's an update on this. Check the posts below.

Hey Argus, why is it in your title, "morons" in the plural form? You must be thinking of the employees, too. Here's another one:

I'd have more than just a temper tantrum too, if I was getting forcibly dragged. That was a traumatic experience for him.....and for the other passengers, too! Don't justify the airlines' deplorable handling of this situation. Their bottomline for overbooking is good old fashion greed!

Wouldn't you shout and scream if someone's trying to forcibly drag you off? When you feel threatened and violated? What? Resist quietly? Is that a normal human reaction?
