Get off our plane! Now!

Again, there was no 'meeting of the minds' if once he realized the next flight out would be the next day and not that night.


I don't think any policy that takes someone off the plane unwillingly is fair - otherwise howcome noone else wanted to get off the damn plane?

So you think people without a ticket should be able to board any plane they want?

Other people would have taken the deal or they would have upped the offer. He took it before others had a chance. He also boarded the plane after his ticket had been given away. This was not a 2 second thing. It took awhile.

I think it's stupid that planes get overbooked.

Again, we don't know what was promised to him at the time. Something must have happened for him to have ran back.

I don't know what was explained to him at the time, neither do you.

Yes the offer was explained and I read it. It was pretty clear to me what he was getting. The hotel was not for him to take a 5 minute nap in then board another plane right away.

Were you physically there on the plane listening to the offer being made to him?

It is not really a problem that often and it is the only way for airlines to make money. The other solution is to have the government subsidize them more(which I am opposed to). It works out well for most people. When you have flexibility to get off a flight what they offer you is usually worth it. I did it all the time when I traveled for work and got lots of free flights and hotel stays.

Do we know this wasn't Kinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk?

Nope just the eye witnesses accounts of it being read over the intercom that was collaborated by lots of people. Also it is a pretty standard offer that they give every time this situation happens.

The first one isn't a card it is junk mail. The second will be replaced at the expense of United Airlines by the end of the week.

They're literally milking it.

The US airlines earned record profits of more than $12 billion in the first half of 2016.
