The lawyer representing Dr. David Dao, who was dragged from a United Airlines plane, said he will also represent a woman whose clash with an American Airlines flight attendant went viral over the weekend.
Thomas Demetrio told CNBC on Monday that he will represent both passengers whose recent confrontations with airline and airport employees sparked global outrage and prompted a nationwide conversation over U.S. carriers' treatment of passengers.

Air travel is a huge gamble these days. Similar to going by bus in the ‘old’ days.
Welcome to the big old ‘one world’.
Manners and etiquette are Western concepts.

Synergy - it makes sense. Any company would make the same business decision, in terms of seeing another business opportunity that has synergy with an existing one.
While I’m not a big fan of the tort bar in a lot of cases, I don’t know a business that would not make a similar decision as this lawyer and his clients.

"...synergy..."
Exactly. It makes complete sense for this attorney to take both cases.
Airlines would also be wise to triple their customer service efforts and voluntarily halt overbooking immediately.
My cousin flew on Friday, April 14, 2017 and they asked for SIXTEEN people to volunteer their seats! A big group of students accepted their voucher scam, yet give us a break...overbooking by THAT many in the current anti-airline climate is utterly insane.

It’s almost as if the airlines are chasing Demetrio. There is video of a fellow passenger confronting the Flight Attendant with the words, “You almost hit the baby!”
That passenger, plus the one recording the incident, both say the FA hit the mother with the stroller—while she was holding the baby. When passenger abuse hits that level, no one should be surprised if a lawyer steps in. That’s what they do.

Tell that to the poster who agreed with you.
Or is that post sarcasm too?

It makes you wonder about the bald FA’s psychological well-being. Begging the passenger to punch him goes beyond mere lack of professionalism. As you said, something fundamental is amiss.

No one would be surprised either if United and American instead of using in-house counsel both hired the same law firm to represent them.

It seems like the newest thing: make a less-than-insightful comment that appears to be serious, but if called on it, claim “sarcasm.”
That’s why sarcasm tags were created. It’s not merely acceptable to use them; it’s advisable.

Sarc tags are even more advisable to keep people from rewriting history after the fact. P

“”Still waiting for AA to release bald puff-boys name. That guy aint right.””
And also why the “four striper” obviously from the cockpit of the plane stood there and did/said nothing!!!

Manners and etiquette are Western concepts.
Well said, that’s the key factor on which everything depends. And there is a strong reason for this glue that holds the western world together.
