This man places the bulk of the blame upon the supervisor who boarded the plane and behaved belligerently to then herself "pick" Dr. Dao as one of two people to get booted.
"He was very polite, matter-of-fact," Powell said. "I could hear pretty clearly. He was acting appropriately annoyed. I was 100% with him. I wouldn't have gotten off the plane either."
To me this is the same as if you were comfortably sitting in your hotel room that you paid for and are entitled to peacefully exist in... and then a hotel employee comes to your door and tells you that they need the room for some employees and you'll have to go elsewhere. If you refuse, they punch you in the face and throw your stuff out the window.
Passengers are treated like they're worthless garbage and that's got to stop. We don't accept this elsewhere.
Bringing up anything from the guy's past is just silly. It has nothing to do with how he was treated on this flight. He entered that plane with a reasonable expectation to get where he paid to go. Since when does everyone have to share their deep, dark secrets before getting on a plane? It's not as if he were in the commission of a crime and that's why he was chosen to be removed. United screwed up big time with this horrendous treatment of a paying passenger.
Anybody seen the news clips of the United check-in counters today. You could drop a pin and listen to the echo for five minutes. It appears people are voting with their feet.
I guess they can "fly the friendly skies" all by themselves for awhile.
How could this be?
People have already bought tickets and made plans.
