They did nothing wrong. The passenger was not cooperative, so they called the authorities, THOSE are the people who might have gone too far.
Actually it looks like they did do something wrong. According to what I’m reading elsewhere United has the right to bump passengers BEFORE they board the plane but not AFTER they board the plane.
Any mug shots of this pill prescribing doctor?
The solution was simple. Keep raising the offer until 4 people take the money and get off. The only issue here is United’s cheapness.
Initially I blamed United. But after hearing more evidence, I feel both sides are to blame, perhaps United more. I do not have much sympathy towards doctors caught illegally prescribing medicine or running pill mills. They are a big part of the addiction problem
