This man is set for life. I predict he will get a lot of money from the airline. Gay or not, doctor or not.

It works both ways, both parties are 100% wrong, I've said it at least 3-4 times here, but the passanger is the one that looks like he started the conflict, in a physical sense.

And technically if you don't comply with law enforcement, physical force is to be expected.

How was the Dr wrong? By expecting to be treated like the paying customer he is? And to receive the services he paid for?

Meanwhile, the stock market is currently 're-accomodating' the value of United's stock.

He should have never been given his medical license back. I wonder how many of his patients are just finding this out. He should have just retired unless he is back looking for another victim to ply with drugs.

So what about all those nonrefundable tickets they sell. Those are prepaid and the airline gets its money regardless of whether or not the passenger sbows up.

A lie is an intentionally fabricated story.


If I state that you are a gorilla from outerspace but I have nothing to back it up. Then that is a lie. Just like you stating that UA said all of this about the passenger and not having anything to back it up is a lie.

By not complying with the wishes of the private property owners that requested him to leave their property.

Hypocrite is more like it. He hasn't stopped anything or saved anyone. It is an empty gesture.

Going on and on about God's children, while banning them from our country as refugees is not compassionate, and not even "companionate".

Maybe Ivanka will change the refugee policy.

Good, hope it goes lower. They need to learn their lesson from being so tone-deaf and not siding with a paying customer.
