The more footage that comes out from the first story, the angrier I get. Bleh.
Note: For those that don't make it to the end of the video, no this is not my new set, just a temporary one for this week.

United Airlines: "Our prices are unbeatable, but our passengers are not..."

Jim, I hate how people never credit jokes...
Is nobody going to point out the fact that they said "one customer refused to leave voluntarily..." .......................... REFUSED. TO. LEAVE. VOLUNTARILY.............. does anybody see the complete ridiculousness of that statement? What does voluntarily even mean to them??
Nick R #Truth 🙌
True, what would the alternative even be? He was forced to refuse to leave? That doesn't even make any sense.
They asked him to leave. Watch the video again. He refused to leave calmly or negotiate the decision with the plane staff and instead he clang to the seat and scream when someone was trying to forcefully remove him.
Nick R, I can't help but think that you're one of those people who will focus on one word in an entire statement instead of attempting to grasp the meaning of the whole.
Kevin Pérez you're one of those people that claims a woman refused to leave her house voluntarily so her husband had every right to beat the ever living shit out of her
United "Not enough seating, it's time for a beating" Airlines.
lol im dying
Lmaooo
United Airlines: "We treat our passengers like your bags''
*luggage
No they dont!
They treat them worse!!
Sunna Líf dogs to!
Nope they destroy your bags because they destroy that man
LOL
This is fucking disgusting. If any of you guys wanna get angry at something, get fucking angry at those three security officers and United airline. The man paid for a flight, instead he got his head slammed into an armrest, he was bleeding profusely, and he got dragged fucking limp out of the aircraft. Let me reiterate for those of you who don't get it. THEY TOOK HIS MONEY, THEY HURT AND INJURED HIM HEAVILY, DISRESPECTED HIS HUMAN DIGNITY. This is no fucking different from a mugging.
The man wasn't a criminal, he wasn't being belligerent, he was not resisting arrest or anything of the sort. They ripped him out his goddamn seat for fuck's sake. I cannot believe people in these comments are even excusing the people responsible and blaming the victim because he did not want to VOLUNTARILY leave a flight THAT HE PAID FOR.
TheOriginalFayari Except he did do something wrong. He is on private property. Imagine I owned a restaurant. Some guy came in and bought a coffee. Then I just decide I don't want him here. That completely my decision, and if he doesn't follow, he is now trespassing and refusing to leave. The only option I would have is to remove him by force. Could it have been handled better? Of course! But it didn't, and ultimately, that man was trespassing and force was necessary.
BLACKman1776 if you took his coffee after he paid for it; you'd be stealing though. United will be sued (they know it) and they will pay through the nose.
BLACKman1776 would you take that mans coffee too? And then Not give him his money. And fuck coffee this is a flight to his home not a beverage he isn't trespassing. Because he bought that seat for the ride.
Let me just add that he was RANDOMLY CHOSEN. He happened to be the unlucky one but it could've been anyone else and by law no one needs to be tolerant of the airline's idiot overbooking incident
BLACKman1776 you're a piece of shit
I decided not to fly United ever again about 3 years ago. Was flying with my wife to Houston, went to check in, the lady grabs our passports and calls security. This other lady shows up and walks away with our passports, then doesn´t return for another 2 hours; they wouldn´t let us fly and did not give our money back either. At no point did anyone from United give us any explanation whatsoever about what was happening. they even escorted us out of the airport and kept copies of our passports. Never in our lives have he had any criminal history or anything like that, we travel a lot and have never ever had anything like this happen before. My wife is an architect and I´m a port pilot. All uinited personnel were complete a**holes. never again.
*maybe
Fuck United.
Squier SE100 fuuuuuck me you're one depressing individual 😂 you realise you dont need to comment your unneeded views on every comment you disagree with! 😂 mug

loiccv You copied this from a different vid. nice job.
thanks!
loiccv lol
loiccv why was he yelling like a bitch
This is one of those few cases when I actually hope he will sue the shit out of United...
He officially did file the lawsuit today.
Joshua Smith #banunitedairlines
Joshua Smith united did nothing wrong legally he agreed to overbooking when he bought a ticket
"he agreed to overbooking" ... I'm pretty sure that doesn't include broken teeth and concussion. You have very wrong definition of "nothing wrong".
Joshua Smith all that was his fault bc he resisted and then snuck back on legally he was trespassing on private property and they had the right to forcibly remove him... when you buy a ticket it literally says "we reserve the right to deny service at any time"
"United Airlines: If we cannot beat our competitors, we beat our customers"
leloodallasmultipass hahahaha
leloodallasmultipass nice steal man
Vaporcup I'm assuming everyone watches their facebooks. This is for the revolution.
viva!
what is this axe you are grinding, squier?
Southwest should take advantage of this... "Fly Southwest! Your fist bag is free, and we promise not not to beat you or forcibly remove you because we don't overbook our flights."
bobzedd77 fist bag? they offer sexual favours? ;)
"We beat the prices, not our customers!"
Last week Southwest overbooked my husband's flight from Sacramento to Denver and asked for 6 volunteers to board a later flight. They gave them half of the cost of their ticket plus $300 more. Great customer service.
fist bag hahahaha
Marce Corona well to be honest I believe that they are actually obligated to give you the full cost of a one way ticket to your destination or more. They ask for volunteers because many people don't know and are willing to jump ship for less than the cost of their ticket. So it saves them money
United airlines:
The only airline where you can board as a doctor
Leave as the patient
Young Dick money no more seating
Time for beating
Don't forget to pack a parachute before boarding United Airlines just in case they decide their overbooked while in flight.
How can you even tell someone to vacate a plane seat that they have BOOKED AND PAID FOR and then drag them out by force causing physical and probably psychological damage when they reasonably refuse to do so?? In no way this is acceptable.
He paid for the ride.. not the Airplane... if they ask you to exit.. You have to exit.
No, I paid for a specific spot on that airplane, the tickets have been scanned, I have put myself into that seat, why the hell must I exit if the only reason they asked me to do so is because THEY fucked up and overbooked the flight? They can keep asking, politely, and keep looking for a passenger to get off willingly, not do so by force and a face slam into an armrest.
I am sick of these people saying if you are told to, you have to.
I mean they had many more options but they decided to kick someone outta plane cause they OVERBOOKED it.
Is it customer's fault that the flight was overbooked ?
since when dose resisting officers while causing harm yourself ever worked out... 3 other people left the flight without all the BS the Asian guy went through.
I guess everyone should resist officers and ignore their orders cause they feel like their in the right.
United was wrong for overbooking and starting so low at offer price but the Asian guy acted immaturely.
Richard Crooks omfg.
Unitedairlines called officers because of their mistakes not his. He has all the rights to stay in that flight, if he does not wanna leave. u moron.
I'm very surprised they didn't offer something like $1,500 to $2,000 per seat. Much better chance of having people voluntarily give up their seat for a later flight.
Maybe I'm poor, but I'd be jumping outta my seat for $800.
They did
yeah but that money is to be used in the airport and to pay for a hotel to stay the night while you wait to buy tickets for the next plane.
OK, YOU GUYS GOT ME! IM POOR AF AND ID TAKE THE $800 PRETTY MUCH NO MATTER WHAT THE CATCH IS!
Quinton Yeah but you paid 1,300 dollars for your seat, 800 dollars won't pay that and you will still be in the negatives.
You can't overbook a flight if you don't have any customers. *Taps head*
*huh* I didn't *know* you can *BOLD* words on *UA-cam*
lol did you just reply to your own comment,,,
Alfredo's Bored -you can also do this-

If united airlines wouldn't have OVERBOOKED the damn flight we wouldn't have a problem... god damn.. no one expects to get kicked off a god damn plane if they payed for it... 😂😂
Toxic Gamer16 wasnt even overbooked they were like lets kick some passengers for our own
United airlines- our prices may be unbeatable... But our customers sure aren't.
Phoenix Pierce lol that's amazing
Genius!
Phoenix Pierce you win the comments section!
i'm gonna see you in hell, i laughed too xD
I know people sue for everything, in our country, but I really *really* hope he sues United Airlines.
2 days ago someone got bit by a scorpion at United airlines
syoma fukasaku ... I wonder if the scorpion had a boarding pass?!
nope, the plain was full, but he had priority, so they put him in the suitcase compartment :S
Luca Schinder 😂😂😂😂😂😂
.... hmm. I wonder why people keep deleting their weird comments lol
I cancelled my flight with united
Who cares...
alicesbeloved i do
RVG ok
*objective complete*
Good man
Thank you.
I wouldn't be able to believe that first story if there wasn't video evidence of it. That is, bar none, the worst thing I've ever seen come out of the customer service industry. They better get what they deserve for that
tilerh17 you realize United wasn't the one that did anything wrong. If you want to claim someone did something wrong it's the police. United has the right to deny service to anyone and they provide compensation. If the pussy would've just got off the plane he would've had no issues
What do "they deserve for that" exactly?
2299mikey Their policy states that overbooking is dealt with by refusing to allow passengers to board the plane, he has already boarded the plane. Their policy was already void and they went on to randomly select people and throw them off the flight to accommodate staff. They have no right to do that.
He paid for the ticket, he got on the aeroplane, he had a very important reason for getting home and those security guards were far too violent. I don't care if he resisted and they have "the right" to deny service, they did a terrible job of handling that situation involving a paying customer and there is no getting around that.
tilerh17 but they didn't deny service they accepted service and payment then they overbooked tell me what other industry can oversell a product or service you cant sell a car to more then one person same with a house or food busses and taxies dont over sell the space they have
united's definition of "volunteer".
"we are looking for volunteers... Eeni meeni myni mo.. you.. you will volunteer because i am telling you you have."
Harley Vincent basically "You've been volun-told."
MyDestinySong scary how true it is.
(personally money is money.. but that guy needed to get back due to medical responsibilities which makes these guys more irresponsible in their actions :/ )
I think you mean reaccommodated
Harley Vincent I have been asking myself after reading their statement. Why would "a customer" had to refuse when they are looking for volunteer?
I heard that they chose who to remove based on who payed the least for their flight... still not okay though
I would sue their ass off. I'm glad there is footage of this. We can't drag criminals around let alone paying passengers. I will never fly with United Airlines.
It's in the fine print when you buy that ticket that you agree to being removed legally.
in the USA the Supreme Court has ruled that contracts are only valid if they go into effect before you do something. in other words if I buy the plane ticket and then there's the contract on the plane ticket it's not valid I would have to be able to see in the know when I'm agreed to before I pay for the product.
tyrannisis lucifaeris. Let me put it in dumb people terms. You know when you read a terms and conditions and just scroll down and click Accept? That's the same thing with plane tickets, it's there and you agreed to it, you just didn't bother reading it.
WHEN THE COMPANY SAYS GET OFF , GET THE FUCK OFF
@@nakian5316 Let me put this in dumb people terms. EULA and contracts are not necessarily legally binding. They can demand you accept all you want, but if the agreement does not comply with law, it is not binding. I can give you a "you will agree to not sue me if I beat you up" agreement, and you can sign it, but it will not hold up in court.
It's like going to Wendy's, ordering a burger, preparing to take a bite, then being punched in the face, and told that you can't have the burger because one of the employees is hungry. Fucking ridiculous.
so a guy pays for his flight and gets forcefully kicked off?
exactly and no apologies for the guy
WildPhoenix01 he will be rich he dont need an apology lol
+severe ultra $100k is a great apology
White Guilt 2.0 amen lol
Jake maybe you should first READ the letter of CEO of United and also the CEO's letter to the staff about the incident where he pretty much said that everything was fault of this stubborn man and not the fault of the staff nor principles of United
The fact that they overbooked their own flight is wrong, but to fucking bloody a passenger for doing nothing but sitting in the seat he paid for to get home and be there for his patients (he's a doctor) is absolutely disgusting. I hope he sues the shit out of them.
Meagan Rose You sound sound like a feminist with your wording
I wonder if he could win. I mean they can throw you off for tons of reasons and this is one but they are supposed to bounce you at the gate before you board. Happens hundreds of thousands of times a year which is why there are laws about how much they need to pay you based on the amount of time you are delayed waiting for a different flight. You also can't really legally refuse to leave a plane when they tell you too. Then when law enforcement shows up and asks you to leave again you start breaking federal and state laws. Maybe the lip cut but even then security didn't really break any laws... I guess they didn't follow policy they were supposed to remove passengers around the guy before dragging him out.
They already asked for volunteers and everybody refused. Then I guess they need to go random like they did. If they allow him to say no and go through passengers till they force somebody else they could get a discrimination lawsuit. Kinda interesting that everybody sat there as he constantly refused but nobody offered to get off instead of him.
Comment's Rage Feminism is a movement which fights for equal rights between the two sexes. You don't sound like a feminist, there is no "wording" that belongs to feminist. And I'm not a feminist, I think you just sound dumb.
Comment's Rage And you sound like a 6-year old brat.
Completely agree, poor man shouldn't have had to put up with any of that.
"Voluntary" sure, that looked like he absolutely volunteered to get off the plane.
WTF...
What about "voluntold"
It is very disturbing to see at 6:03 how the police conveniently let the 69-year old man's face hit the armrest after dragging him out to "punish" him for not giving up his seat.
Overbooking should be illegal. Airlines should have to pay reduculous fees to passengers for overbooking; $10,000 or more. What happens when you miss work and get fired, or miss an important event like a funeral.
jisezer From what I gather it technically wasn't overbooking, it was a problem that they hadn't reserved seats for the airlines staff to get to the airport they would be working at. So the paying customers were being severely inconvenienced because the airline made an error and put their own shifts being covered above the customers.
Overbooking should be illegal?? The airlines would love for it to be illegal. Because....
Airlines don't want overbooking and passengers do. WHY? Because airlines would much rather sell you a seat and have you own it (like a seat at a concert or sporting event). You own it and they get the $$$ whether you show up or not. With the "you own it" system all the passengers could no-show and the airline would lose zero money on fuel, crew salaries and revenue. Passengers could scalp their tickets in front of the airport if they were unable to fly that day. Unfortunately Passengers demand flexibility. They want to be able to change the days, times and destinations of their flights, so in order to accommodate passenger flexibility airlines overbook to insure they do not lose money on the empty seats created by people who don't show up or change their plans.
The airlines grew tired of overbooking complaints in the '90's and briefly tried the "you own your seat" concept and it failed. Passengers complained even louder about lack of options.
So here we are stuck with overbooking until somebody comes up with a better solution.
That is called overbooking.
You sir are an idiot. Overbooking should be illegal, how dumb does this sound. It's a bushiness and shit happens. So what if you order food at a restaurant and 15 mins later say "Ohhh...I'm sorry we sold out?" should that be illegal. Uhhh...no that is stupid. How is United liable, it was the cops. Not the United Airlines Police Department.
Not advocating for it but overbooking makes sense as a buisiness move because on average 15% of most tickets don't show so if they can fill the plane 100% and get 115% of the money then great.
He needs to sue the living fuck out of United, and everyone else needs to stop flying with them. Companies only understand money, so send them a CLEAR message.
MM BB #BoycottUnited 😠😡
Don't get into law. You won't do well.
United wasn't responsible for that injury. The airport police was.
Also, generally speaking, when a cop tells you to do something, you kinda have to do it because a lawyer can easily argue that he was resisting an officer, which he was.
Was the situation fucked up? Yes. But at the end of the day, he did resist POLICE officers which actually gives cops legal rights to use force. What happened to him after they were involved is purely on him.
I get that this is an emotional trigger for many, but in what world did that man think he was gonna win that fight? He shoulda stepped off and then dealt with the company like a normal person instead of throwing a fit. Worst case scenario, he coulda sued them.
droid monkey Okay, so imagine this, you go to a store and buy a new phone, you like the phone but you also need the phone and suddenly the store demands that you give the phone back and when you deny to comply they call security and beat the shit outta you, wouldn't you be mad?
i agree, especially after the CEO's statement sounded like he was writing from an ivory tower.
Fuck the cops. This is not right. They had no right to force anything on this man. He committed no crime. His human rights were violated.
Okay but the police department got away with lying ?
Kendrick ness they didnt lie
@@dylanhunter496 yeah they did, did it look like he fell?
What happened to this man is so sad, hope he sue's for a huge amount of money!
Huge Mistake by United and they should be seriously reprimanded for this. Per contract of a Carriage:
Rule5G States that United has the right to overbook. It also states that in the event of overbooking, Rule 25 Governs What will happen.
Rule25 Concerns itself with Denial of Boarding.
The Problem here is that United already let the passengers board. Once they have boarded, United has no right to deny them flight unless they are a security concern.
United cannot just turn around and change their mind about boarding. Their own rules do not support that!
so they claim it was a security concern in court.
Southwest: we beat the competition not our customers
no stfu and get the Fuck off when you're told
you are flat wrong,,, YES THEY CAN.
Flight wasn't overbooked. United wanted 4 crew members of their own to the other airport instead of the passengers.
The crazy thing is, they punished PAYING customers for non-paying employees... *shakes head*
But those non-paying employees have to WORK FOR UNITED. Working employees=even more money
*a birnbaum* Again, an airline that's been going for almost a century should have overbooking under control by now. ESPECIALLY when there are employees involved-because it's not like they don't know when their employees have to be at work.
And it's not about losing money (if that's what you're referring to). Because the point is, no customer should ever be physically harmed just for giving them business. Especially when their trip home is important too. I can't even imagine the psychological trauma I'd go through if that happened to me
It's odd to me that people don't have enough foresight to see that the DEADHEADING (not standby) crew not getting on that flight would fuck over and even larger number of paying passengers. It would create a domino affect of other passengers missing their flights they paid for.
vegangurly unfortunately that's not remotely the passenger's fault or responsibility. I feel sorry for your logic here. If they fucked up, offer $1,300 cash as regulated instead of 8 $50 UA vouchers which you can only use one for each flight. This is the new low.
That's what the Nazis said to the Jews: "You just got re-accommodated".
:( true
Duzzit Matter I think it's a joke, friend.
The Nazis look like choir boys compared to the atrocities commited by the Japanese.
I have a feeling that the victim is going to be a very rich man, and well deserving! This was handled all wrong!
UPDATE: the officer who forced the doctor off the plane has been placed on leave!
Westeros Peasant thank god
Westeros Peasant why not under arrest
Westeros Peasant sauce?
Westeros Peasant that bloke will be a millionaire by 2018
Payed leave?
This wouldn't have happened if he gave them a Pepsi
Ken Bone ...
pepsi could have fixed this.
Ken Bone fact!
Ken Bone +rep
dead
First. The Airline WAS NOT overbooked. Second, removing someone from a plane after they have been boarded is ILLEGAL. It's a VIOLATION of what is called the "Right of carriage"
If they're sorry for overbooking the flight, why would they be forcibly removing passengers like they're nothing more than excess cargo? Why not have the police assault the ones responsible for overbooking the flight instead?
Well the good news is after this United probably won’t have an over booking problem anymore. OHHHHH
#boycottunited
#problemsolved
elevateoheyo SAVAGE
American people so bitchy. They should be thankful the plane didnt fall apart mid air or some shit.
Buk Choi yeah that happens alot
Tim over here trying to start something
The passenger United roughed up will soon be "reaccomodated" into a $50 million mansion after the inevitable company-crippling lawsuit.
LOL
fidorover I really hope his lawyer bends United over, they will settle before this even gets to court.
fidorover Good, fuсk united. I hope they vanish off of the face of the planet
Please this guy deserves to get justice for this honestly I hope united goes bankrupt and he becomes a millionaire
To be fair, they're worth billions, but I do hope he makes them feel some pain legally for what they did to him.
"I have to go home. I have to go home."
That clip was heartbreaking.
It had nothing to do with OverBooking!!!
The Plane was not OverBooked, it was Sold Out!
They were trying to get 4 of their employees on a plane with all places sold out
Why are you capitalizing overbooking? You're not just capitalizing the first word, you're capitalizing booking as well, like wtf you german or something?
That is not a fucking excuse to force an old man out of a plane, while hurting him and completely shocking him, making him bleed. Oh but it was just sold out right?
Flight attendant more important than a Doctor?
they could literally drive/take a bus from chicago to louisville and make it in time OR get somebody to cover their shifts but instead they decide to do this. was this man being violent, aggressive, harassing other passengers? no. so they have no leg to stand on.
A Giraffe
PL
Guess what, United, you just saved 4x $1300 but lost millions of customers and WILL lose millions of $$$ in this lawsuit.
Millions? Not true. And why are you addressing United? You think they will read your comment?
yea, anyone who addresses United in their internet comment will expect them to read it.
roflmao
RASHAD GUPTAR do u work for united or something LOL
RASHAD GUPTAR do u work for united or something LOL
Karma is real.
"do we have a doctor on board we got a customer having a heart attack"
"we had one"
"Someone is having a heart attack. Do we have a doctor"
"Yeah, we kicked the shit out of him"
Touchetee We smashed his fucking face and dragged him off while he was screaming lol.
Dear Chicago airport police
"Keyword *had*"
Of course Josh. They investigated his life before selling him a ticket!
Even if by law that you should get off the plane,
1. This man was INJURED by the incident, mainly physically, but he was in shock. That's not part of that contract now, is it?
2. No direct apology was sent to this man. They utterly ignore him and fake the fact that they are friendly.
3. This could have been handled far differently. They could have only asked, or even given him a refund for the seat since he was removed from the flight(But that's impossible, isn't it?). You can't just call security because someone says NO.
United airlines is the worst! When I booked A trip to California they were overbooked and the next flight was 6 hours later. The tried to tell me I couldn't board bc I was the last one to buy the ticket. Makes no sense why they are always over booked
that is so dumb, whether you bought a ticket the night before or six months in advance, you have a ticket which entitkes you to a seat. is a seat that hard to ask for
You're not volunteering to get off a plane if a computer randomly selects you to get kicked off. This is why I think airlines should never overbook. Just take the damn profit hits instead of being jackasses.
First of all, I am going to assume you don't own your own business. Second, of all, I am going to state this. Ever single passenger on that flight was given a chance to volunteer and offered a very good sum of vouchers and a hotel.No one volunteered and so the supervisor of the flight made an announcement to again ALL of the passengers explaining that his computer will be making the decision of who gets off then. Even if overbooking is stupid or wrong that is not the point it is a contract you sign when you buy your tickets that you agree that this could happen to you. Break the rules face the consequences.
As for the immature comment of "take the damn profit hit" that goes back to my first assumption that you don't own your own business. A company can only keep its doors open and continue to pay hard workers and keep the job market flooded with jobs if they make a profit. Why not go ask your local Grocer or restaurant to only provide the highest quality product but at the lowest cost to you? This is not how business works.
Dominic Contreras what a small minded comment
*looks at profile picture
Hmm that explains a lot...
Dominic Contreras not a problem anymore with overbooking with this pr mess.
Dominic Contreras Why should you volunteer to get off a seat that you actually pay for? What if he had a next flight right after this flight, what would united airlines do? Nothing bc it's not his problem, he just overbooked and fuck everyone else right? He has the right to be there. I understand that some people cancel their flights so that's why they do it, still, they have to check that before people gets on the plane
Dominic Contreras Obviously the $800 compensation was not high enough. Maybe if they payed $8000 somone would have voulenteered. It would still be cheaper then this is for them.
United Airlines.
they punish their customers for their mistakes.
Yep! And their biggest mistake? Booking a flight with United.
Had he listened, and acted like an adult and got up, gathered his things, and got off the plane, this VID would not exist.
Stephen Williams no u idiot they were at fault
Mr.muffincrumbs it is a common thing where overbooking happens and people are asked to leave with compensation, this situation was handled very poorly however
Stephen Williams
He did in fact volunteer to give up his seat, until they told him the next flight available wasn't until Monday afternoon, he had to stay! And it wasn't an "overbooked" flight. It was their own staff that "needed" to get to the other airport, that in reality, was only 4 a 4 hour drive away! They could have easily driven a rental car! But noooooooooo, Fuck the paying passengers! They fucking broke his nose, knocked out his two front teeth, and now needs reconstructive surgery.
Honestly I'm tired of seeing jokes and memes about this incident. It truly is disgusting, this just show the ugly side of corporations
United Airlines offered $400 and then $800 in United Airlines vouchers which would be worthless if you never flew with them again.
That doctor better sue the fuck outta united and never have to work another day in his life
Sue for what, exactly?
Yung Skol King physical assault, mental assault, causing trauma, harm to the patients he was supposed to be there for. it makes a solid case tbh
Kevin Smith Gaming Loss of earnings?
Flights are not guaranteed. There can be bad weather and cancellations in any case, so he should've flown back earlier if he had critical patients waiting. This is within the terms of conditions you accept when you book a ticket with ANY airline. Or alternatively, get off the plane quietly and then take up the matter with the booking agents or ground staff to get on the next plane, get a free car or whatever. You don't solve a problem by holding on to your seat hoping they'll leave you there.
United airlines beat someone up to save money, they were only offerimg to give him $800 which is nothing for a company of thier size.
They shouldn't have to manhandle this poor man off the plane and slam him face-first into a armrest. Man should sue.
You do understand the term excessive force don't you? One these men can barely be qualified as police and secondly what they did was clearly excessive and unnecessary.
wowalinbie Stfu
wowalinbie no, according to Phil they were trying to accommodate passengers way less than what they are legally required to do. after he refused, airport security ripped him off the plane. he needs to sue that shitty airline.
wowalinbie He was kicked off for no reason.
wowalinbie thats just bad servicing. they were being total assholes about it
I personally would place about 80% of the blame on how those officers handled the situation. A bunch of damn brutes.
*Me and the rest of society*: United, Welcome to your tape.
honestly the officer who punched the passenger should be held liable, also united airlines. And also they should stop OVERBOOKING FLIGHTS.
Nicole's Saggy titties TV he punched him? I just saw some rough pulling resulting in the man slamming his head into an armrest.
Nicole's Saggy titties TV I don't think the officer should have all the blame put on him for doing his job. United Airline though, I hope those fuckers go out of business
+Alex Mansfield they definitely shouldn't have all the blame but, the way the situation was handled comes down on the officers first and foremost. Still... you'd think an airline would be capable of efficiently placing its employees on planes without having to kick off customers over their own mistakes.
Ehh, it's a bit of both. They flat out yanked him out so hard that they ended up bashing his head into the armrest, there was no punch. I wouldn't call that "just doing their job". Or if I asked you to get up and ended up forcibly removing you and bashing your face against a wall would you be in defense of that Alex and go "Nah, you just fucked up my face and gave me heavy bleeding and possibly other damage, it's okay because I didn't want to get up"? So they're at fault for going that over the top, and United is at fault for creating the situation in the first place.
Alex Mansfield Anyone who leaves an old man spewing blood diserves their fair share of fault.
Everyone's forgetting that if the airline is willing to PAY customers to leave, they could have paid for their employees to take a different flight with a different airline. Or as the lady said: Couldn't they rent a car for them to drive to Louisville? There. Two options that didn't result in fucking over four passengers or assaulting one. Arguing over morals is pointless, but if you had to call officers to come, then you could have called the Hertz to drive your employees.
Also, yeah, let's drag the man after he goes limp when he was obviously struggling a second ago. Instead of calling for medical help, let's move him because treating someone like a human is so much work. If someone is hurt, you don't move them... Because if he god forbid hurt himself in other ways and those injuries were made worse from being DRAGGED OFF A PLANE, what's your stance on that? Let's be logical. Talk it out, literally be an adult instead of going immediately to putting your hands on someone. His English was broken, he probably didn't fully understand the situation. Talk with him and offer him more money or an extra free flight. If he was a Doctor then use that as an excuse for not making him get off the plane. Idek man, personally if I see someone go limp or even see some blood I won't move them. You just don't know when it comes to injuries and instead of showing any humanity, they kept dragging him.
Ariel Ho Here's what I wanna know and I have not seen this question be raised yet but... Do their employees pay for the flights?
Because I am pretty sure if it's to get to their "next job" they don't but I could be wrong.
usucdik I'm not saying that it's not within their rights, it is their plane and their rules. But if it got to the point of calling Security, then the better option was to find a different flight for those employees or move on to a different person. They could have found other people and banned the man from using their airline. Charge the man with a 1000$ fine for breaking their rules. Because, to keep it short, you never know if the person you're putting hands on has a heart disease or genetic disease where their bones are brittle. If it was so time sensitive that it had to be that exact flight, time could have been better spent finding multiple other options than going to the easy option of trying to bully the man off the flight with force.
They dont paid anything if for Job reasons... at least thats how work on venezuela, maybe on eeuu is diferent.
if they are willing to plkay 3200$USD, that mean they could just send they employees in a rent car with a driver... (i guess 3200 will be enough for that)
Three days after the incident, United Airlines elected to provide all passengers aboard United Express Flight 3411 compensation equal to the cost of their tickets. An email obtained by CNN stated that this compensation was in the form of a $500 voucher toward future travel on United Airlines The email also indicated that customers were eligible for the voucher if they "released" the airline from lawsuits.
I never give up my seat. I pick the time I pick for reason and either I have a connecting flight to get to or I got someone at my destination who is going to pick me up. I don't understand how airlines can act like it's not a huge and major inconvenience.
It wasn't overbooked... they wanted to use 4 seats for their unticketed employees. Then they moved to assault.
Nic Davis that means they were overbooked. Those 4 employees have tickets and were likely being sent on that flight to go work another flight. All he needed to do was follow the fucking law
2299mikey except that's not the fucking law. He had every right to refuse to get off the plane. They fucked up. Fucking pay to have your employees drive the five fucking hours it takes to get where you need them. There's no law that says "if you purchase a plane ticket and refuse to get off the plane due to a company error, we have the right to smash your face" what fucking world do you live in?
It was overbooked
that wasnt even law lmfao
2299mikey Nope, look at the email they sent employees which an employee posted onto twitter, the airline said the 4 members of staff came forward after the flight was already boarded and said they needed to get on it, they didn't have tickets and they turned up last minute, which is why everyone else had already boarded the flight.
UA policy says they can only take someone's seat if they refuse to let them get into the plane, these people had already boarded the plane and therefore no longer policy to remove people. When a flight is overbooked, the people who show up first get the seats and those after are refused to board. Since the 4 members of staff showed up last they should have been refused.
Further proof that they didn't have tickets is that they didn't remove people from the seats that matched the staffs tickets, they removed people at random because the staff never had seats to begin with.
So basically they said he didn't leave voluntarily so they forced him out anyway. Wtf is that??
He was a paying customer right?
Jess T yes, he is a paying customers but he was ordered off the plane. its pretty simple, you're asked to leave private property, you better go even if you are in the right.
robhimself79 yes that's true but the airline claimed it was looking for volunteers to get off the plane. Then just starts throwing people off regardless Doesn't seem right.
Jess T it doesn't but they own the plane. they announced random people would be selected. people willingly got off. those people aren't bleeding.
He wasn't forcing and entering a house. He was a paying costumer. In no way the airline had the right to assault him.
That's the BIG question: why did they find out about those "must fly" after thy had seated the entire plane and have to take people off the plane? It is a lot easier to scru people and by leaving them off the plane before they board.
"United Airlines: Not enough seating? Prepare for a beating!"
"We have 110 seats on this plane. Better sell 120 tickets." -every airline ever
Cera Riddle people cancel and move tickets all the time. That's why they overbook
Chantal Charbonnier they overbooked because they didn't reserve the seats for staff they were supposed to. They didn't overbook, they forgot to reserve the seats and then wanted to remove paying customers instead.
Anna Billie every airline overbooks
Chantal Charbonnier yeah but when they overbook they are betting that some people will cancel and if that bet turns out to be wrong it's on the airline to fix it not the passengers
Chantal Charbonnier concept for airlines: sell all seats on a plane, and if someone happens to cancel or move their times, put that ticket back up.
The UNITED story is so horrible it made my stomach turn. They won't have any issues with overbooking now. I will never never use them again.
That’s just disturbing and disgusting. Shame on you, United Airlines.
The way that man was treated is just so heartbreaking...
I checked and a last minute ticket was $227 O'Hare to Luisvile. Couldn't they have paid that for their employees to travel on another airline that had empty seats? Also Google maps says it is a 5 hour drive.
Raval Seojattan exactly what i was thinking, 4x800 dollars *surely* is more than what they would have spent on an other airline or a rental car?!
Yep. But of course United (and any other airline) don't expect things like this to ever happen.
usually airlines keep empty jets for situations like these...guess united cheaped out. look where it got them now tho lol
Unless you REALLY had to get to Louisville, you'd be making almost $600 profit to catch a different flight, so why not take the money?
Coming from a pilot, there is so much wrong with your comment
It seems that one problem has been ignored, UA actually didn't overbook the tickets , there were right number of seats for right number of passengers, it is just UA wanted to make room for their own crews, so they forced innocent passengers off the flight... That is the truth....
Albert Loo. Does that even help their case though?
+floof no it makes it worst because the flight wasn't overbooked; this wasn't a case of overbooking. All who paid got to get on the plane. For whatever reason, United thought their employees were more important than paid customers. Literally this whole situation could have been avoided if they had redirected the crew members some other way, like buying flights tickets for them from a competitor.
This was NOT an overbooking situation. What happened is that 4 UA employees wanted to hitch a ride home on that flight so the airline wanted 4 passengers to give up their seats. If it was two or passengers being booked the same seat on that flight, that would be an overbooking situation but in this case, it was UA wanting to boot people so their employees can fly home.
The US government should pay for body cameras. Apart from the cost there is literally no downside to them.
Just... holy crap. I had only heard about this incident, but hadn't actually seen any of the video until now, and as a result, I had expected it to be another one of those things that has been blown out of proportion. I did not expect to be this wrong. I mean I never expected a big corporation like this to really care about its customers, but the crap they do always happens impersonally, though legal shenanigans and the like. This horrific display was the last thing I expected to see.
Suffice it to say, I'm never flying United again, either.
Carolyn Walters #BoycottUnited 😠😡
Everyone is so angry at the whole airline, but isn't it just a few of their employees' fault? Why blame the whole company?
@Hanna: Mostly because the company stands behind the behaviors of their employees and the employees only do things like this in the first place because of the policies set forth by the company.
The only airline you pay to get your head bashed into an armrest because you wanted to help patients as a doctor...
Wikkid William relatable
That "doctor" was trained in Vietnam, so I'm sure he was excellent. So excellent that he was convicted of multiple drug charges and had his license revoked! Of course not after he solicited sex from a male patient. But I'm sure that doesn't matter to you, because United Airlines is just a big bad grinch, right?
Aye Aye Eater does that even matter? doesn't matter who that man is, it's united airlines fault for mistreating this man.
Aye Aye Eater Where did you get this info from?
Aye Aye Eater that's a serious accusation. you should back that up with proof/evidence.
Who came from Casey Neistat
So a person gets beaten like hell and ur here begging for likes
@@nemidoonam6963 check the comments. Everyone is
TWO THOUSAND DISLIKE ? 😂😂😂 dislike from united airlines employee
Is it not a little hypocritical that they were willing to forcibly remove a doctor, who needed to see to his patients and do his job, in order to allow four of their own to do their job?
A drive from Chicago to Louisville is roughly 4 hours, like the lady said the employees could have easily just drove.
Hopefully the dude gets way more than the $800 they were offering.
Badmagic Account he can get millions if he gets the right lawyer and sues
I’m not even a litigious person, I often think people are far too quick to resort to it but, in this case, hell yea.
Badmagic Account poor guy,plus he was old,imagine if that was your granddad
Hopefully he gets a Pepsi for it
After this all over with... this dude will be able to buy a plane
Those other passengers should have brought parachutes in case they decide to throw them off the plane mid flight ✈️ 🛬
next time I see someone get punched in the face I'm going to say
"GET RE-ACCOMMODATED"
I wish I hadn't bought a United plane ticket two days ago.
Neeeeeeeerd.
That is me. I am that.
I've never flown with United but I'm guessing there's no refund policy... I wish you luck
NerdSync It's NerdSync! Gah! You watch Philly D!
RIP Continental Airlines
The united airlines story really messed me up. I'm sitting on the bus watching this video with tears in my eyes. That's so wrong. I can't believe a huge airline company would do something like this
KelseyRose Manuel #boycottunitedairlines
They all do this. The only difference is most customers actually leave the plane when asked, instead of resisting. Did he think they'd just leave him in his seat if he refused to leave the plane? You can see in the video how strongly he resists, which leads to him hitting the armrail when all the tension is released. If he had just gotten up and left the plane, nothing would've happened.
Kris Broholm Can you explain to me why he has to leave his seat that he f*ckin payed for??
Kris Broholm - Way to blame the victim. Congrats.
Kris Broholm they had no right (at least in the moral, if not legal, sense) to kick him of in the first place. Can I sell a car a half dozen times? If not, why is an airline seat different?
United was committing fraud, If you have 200 or so seats, you sell 200 tickets. I understand that some may not show to take the seats. They are selling seats that didn't exist. "the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right." Fraud is not right the man payed for his flight and did not get his money back. United should be sued as he payed money for something that was not given to him. Also, the security officers should be charged with assault, the man was profusely bleeding from being hit in the head with an armrest. I hope the man at least gets a sincere apology from the security officers and United.
But they didn't sell seats that didn't exist. They sold all they had, but then they decided they had to move 4 of their employees to another airport. Employees who didn't have the tickets.
Honestly, fuck united. People can argue it wasn't them who used force (though it's them who called security to force the customer out), but after what the CEO said I actually think they might've done it by themselves if they had their own security guards. I hope the doctor wins the case and that he gets a lot of money.
Totally going to share this on Twitter to 'United Airlines' lol...
if this man is indeed a doctor then not just HIM , but the hospital as well should sue the living fuck out of the airline.
for all we know this could have endangered the lives of hospital patients.
phoenix1977 I don't think he's a doctor tbh, but who knows. This doesn't make it any less wrong.
phoenix1977 he's Asian, of course he's a doctor
Artliker1234 he is a doctor. He didn't want to give up his seat because he was flying to attend to some patients. The airline did endanger hospitalized people's lives.
I really hope United Airlines get raped by the court case if they do sue. If I was in the mans position I'd sue the living dick off United Airlines
That's just insanely wrong. Humans treating other innocent and harmless humans as not human but animals? Not right at all. This guy should sue for millions. No one should fly with United Airlines and tweet at them and also tell them they're not flying with them until the man gets a sincere apology and a couple million dollars. It's the least they could. They could've killed the innocent dude.
He's lucky he wasn't wearing leggings. Otherwise, he'd get tazered
Humans should also try to work together but that dickhead was having none of that
Actually, He was tasered
Jesse not even animals should get treated like that... everything sucks tbh
Daniel East I don't think you realised how harmful a slam to the head is.
United Airlines: Enter as a doctor, leave as a patient.
Yet no one offered him their seat, or tried to protect him... just took videos.
Do you seriously expect to protect him from cops? You cannot intervene when law enforcement is involved.
as much as you might think just taking videos of a situation is useless, it actually captures the entire moment and is a big block of evidence
If those people hadn't of recorded it, we wouldn't of heard about this bullshit
@@Bervick If they were black they would have been shot.
Look up at the many video, plenty of people on the plane voicing their concern and protest over the treatment of the man from Flight Attendants and Airport Security Officer.
But what can they do beyond that? You can't interfere 'police' work physically, may as well like asking them to get you too.
Also, I don't think other pax expect that the security would turn it into such a mess by using excessive force rather than using reasonable one.
Holy shit, thats a vicious assault. I hope those security guards are prosecuted.
lol
1 freakin word, SUE! with all the footage he can easily sue and win
Jesus Alvarez He actually can't. In the TOS that you agree to when you buy a ticket it gives them permission to do that.
TheDarkDragonite that sucks.
i'm not lawyer but you give permission to ask you, not to assault you...
They have the right to remove ANYONE off of the plane. (it's in the fine print when you buy a ticket) This includes by force. He didn't want to leave, so they made him. It's perfectly legal.
Curtis Ray But they removed him by assault. I don't believe that's legal.
I came to your channel via recommendation of Casey Neistat. I have subscribed. Great channel!
That is the complete opposite of the definition of a volunteer, that sounds like if your are asked to leave please leave and we will say you volunteered. Then beat the person out of the plane. Volunteer is someone who willingly gives up their time to help out I should know being a volunteer every few months
#boycottUNITED
Pepper Shaker I agree
100th like
Pepper Shaker fly delta
boggz gaming delta is bad too
Amen
The lesson is: do not fly with United.
The lesson is: do not fly with United unless you are willing to get off a plane for 800$

I typed xD and it autocorrected to dad.

Cully Schmetterling #BoycottUnited 😡😠
you can see when they pull him out his head smacks into that armrest. This is disgusting and disturbing, shame on United.
Someone should sue this airline
Thay dude is gonna get SO MUCH MONEY. F UNITED THEIR A ANYWAYS

salamander man Yes, yes they are
I hope he does, it looks like they gave him a concussion from that second video.

how the hell do ya overbook a plane there are a set number of seats so you only sell that many tickets, and if there are people that aren't paying you reserve the seats
Boii I pause then he say it
c f v
They needed to get a crew to Louisville last minute or else another flight in Lousiville would be cancelled. Put yourself in their shoes, remove 4 people from flight A and save 250 in Flight B from a cancellation plus missing connections or just cancel flight B? I agree they didn’t handle it right but it still has to happen
They overbook the flights because unlike you may think United is a business and that business needs to earn money, empty seats don't earn a company money. There are complex algorithms that depict how many people will not be able to make their connecting flights there fore they overbook the seats so they aren't empty. Every big airline in the world does this and events like this rarely happen. Just a case of a 'life not fair' moment.
After 3 years still disturbing UNITED 👎🤬
