      Tam Tam - you have a point about many recent cases, but as far as airlines are concerned, white people were dragged off planes too. In some cases, it was their fault, but there were a few cases where it wasn't. There was a case when a woman was asked to leave a plane because her toddler said "bye bye plane" and waved to another plane from the window. The toddler was simply saying good bye to a departing plane, but the flight attendant got all nervous, demanded the mother sedates the child, but the mother refused. Then, there was this case: www.foxnews.com/travel/2017/11/16/woman-claims-american-airlines-ignored-safety-rules-forced-her-child-to-fly-on-her-lap.html In this case, their policy is to allow one car seat, but not two, so what exactly is a woman with two kids supposed to do?

      Obviously they ate privileged and can do and treat people anyway they want and get away with it. The government should fine the 31/32 of their total money and assets with all the meanness they are doing and let them keep the 1/32 of their money and assets. Or devide it by a much higher number and let keep just a very little of their cruel money.

I wasn't having it, demanded a refund of my ticket and I was getting off. They then said they made a mistake and let me sit in my purchased seat. Afterwards they wouldn't let me use the bassinet so I was stuck carrying my son for 14 hours in my arms (it was an overnight flight) as he slept -_- So far out of all airlines United has been the worst, this includes all budget flights.

So fearing what the hostess will decide to do is warranted.

      I read that later they did refund both tickets and they met her at the airport before her flight back (which was to Hawaii, so Houston must have been the connection on the way going), brought her to the United lounge, gave her a flower lei (?), and changed the tickets for her and the son to business class back to Hawaii. So clearly they realized they screwed up big time. She sued them (rightfully so). I couldn’t find anything after that, but I’m guessing United was smart and settled. They literally gave away the seat of a paying (who was legally required to be in their own seat) to a standby passenger.
      Oh yeah, and the guy that took the seat later told her he was ninth on the standby list and paid $75 for the seat (seventy five dollars, that’s not a typo)

It arrived, no joke, in a polystyrene cup. When I questioned the stewardess she replied, without any hint of an apology, that the glasses had already been put away for landing. I was truly amazed and haven't flown with them since. In the case above I'm sure it was a deliberate decision for the sake of making money.
