Toss paying customers for stand-by non-paying crew? What the hell kind of eff'd up policy is that?
 
Put the crew in the next flight. Better to pay OT than continue "paying" in negative publicity long after the Incident. 4951

They usually don't board these folks so I am sure there is more to story. Wonder if it will turn out like the leggings story. 4951

The video of the guy getting dragged off the plane was awful.  This will end up costing United much more than having the employees fly later.  There will be lawsuits--not just the man who was drug away but also passengers who were disturbed by the ordeal.  4951

Sunlight is the best disinfectant for bad behavior. If this is true, then it's time United was called out and time to clean up and change policy. 4951

Kinda scary how everyone involved acted and reacted.
I flew stand by for years. Hell I've lived out of my suitcase in my own home sometimes for a week and be checking in while on the airport road.
I've also had the boss man and his bloated ego insist on pulling me out. I'd gone through 5 security points without much fanfare trying to just get it done. One foot through the gate and tugged. He had me researched. Lol I felt for the girl. She had just checked me through. As she said something I told her, not worth your job and I'm this close to asking for an escort to a car rental place and drive three days. I got on, barely. If I'd worn a skirt, it would have been caught in the door.
That was about 10 years ago. One of the last few times I chose to fly.
I kinda of like the peace of a 12-36 hour ride with just me and my music. 4951

@beadweaver: Me too!  I only fly if I'm going somewhere I can't drive.  If it's in the lower 48 a car is best for me.

@TEXASGIRLMAMMA:
 
I've driven/ rode through most of our states. Love off routing it. Can't get a plane to make a left turn pit stop.

The passenger was told to leave. He should have gotten off the plane. When he refused he became a security threat. it's too bad it came to him having to be taken off by force.
 
Moving employees to work another location is not just paying them overtime. A plane, crew and passengers are waiting at the location for them.

Why don't some of you Skype? Your bodily presence is unnecessary in many cases. Job can be done without you. 4951

nope...**** united..all they had to do was up the compensation offer till they got a volunteer (THAT is capitalism). now they get to look like  collection of ******s in search of an outhouse. they had the paying passengers seated when they decided to bump them...for that matter united could have had their deadheading crew fly on a competing carrier for a nominal cost since they do reciprocal deals.it was STUPID. how many of those passengers on THAT flight are going to want to book united?  what it looks like is a passenger assaulted by airline employees.  4951

@lola:
 
Right, and this doctor had patients waiting on him. They offered to book passengers on another flight but that flight wouldn't have gotten him home in time to be at the hospital the next morning.

I'll never fly with United again, even if my brilliant & beautiful niece is piloting the plane. 4951
