United needed the four seats for employees who wanted/needed to get to Louisville.
Definitely a situation that was handled VERY badly.
Not sure what the answer is other than to keep upping the ante to passengers to give up their seats - but if people keep refusing, the airline's hands seem tied.
I suppose there aren't a lot of other options to get from Chicago to Louisville if these were employees who were to be part of a crew for a flight departing Louisville. If the crew isn't there, that sets off a whole chain of delays and other consequences. Though if they were just employees traveling on a comp pass, then tough luck to them.
I'll be curious to learn more about the situation.
Overbooking flights is standard - it may not seem right, but then again the airlines often have ticketed passengers who don't show up for flights, particularly among Business class passengers who have refundable tickets that they aren't personally paying for anyhow.

It wasnt a good move for the company period.
United Airlines stock holders and now paying for their idiot CEO.

I suppose you are right on auto dealership law. We should forget about anti-trust kill off competition an create a massive segment of US jobs to fail an let taxpayers bail it out over an over. I mean, what's the point in segregation the sales function so terribly run dealerships go under instead a giant company with bloated overhead?
Liberal libertarians have gone silly they do not know what they want use government for the greater good, don't use government, they are so confused.

I am not sure that I quite understand what you are saying, but wouldn't direct to consumer sales from auto companies save the consumer a bit of money by cutting out the dealership? they could still have used car dealerships.

The same doctor who was arrested on multiple felony drug charges as it relates to his profession and wasn't allowed to practice for 10 years until Kentucky was dumb enough to let him do so in 2015?
That doctor?
Do the hospitals in Elizabethtown have no other doctors and do they solely rely on him and if so, why was he out of town?
Surely this doctor is so educated he knew the fine print that came with the ticket he purchased?
The practice is dumb as ****. It should be changed. Hopefully this will help do so. But this doesn't change the fact that the guy was a little ******* and didn't listen to authorities despite buying a ticket that specified such airline practices. It doesn't change the fact that he didn't have to wait til the next day for a flight and could've just pocketed the $1,600 between him and his wife and driven the 4.5 hours back to Louisville.
The guy was a douche. Period.
How is Ford gonna operate dealerships less then the dealerships are now an save you money? Ask logistics expert [MENTION=499]LogGrad98[/MENTION] maybe he can clue us in.
2. How are you getting cheaper pricing not more expensive when Ford owns all the dealerships in the nation, has a unspoken collusion deal with Toyota, Chevrolet, Dodge, Nissan, hiyundai? They would all raise prices in unison an give you a no haggle price.
It was a voucher not cash. Read the fine print hard ***.

Did I say it was cash? Learn how to read, *******.
What the guy did before in his life is irrelevant. United didn't act based on his past.

I stated such because Dalamon had referenced his being a doctor and needing to get back to his patients, as if he was some great man, adhering to his oath, and living life the right way.
