Let’s hope the eventual judge also “discounts” any award to represent HIS contribution to the escalation, and it doesn’t become a “lottery win”.

Probably would be settled out of court anyway, as United would like to, smartly, put it behind them.

That is an alinsky tactic – character assassination.

IF the airline KNEW that info ahead of time AND it was a factor in their selecting this guy, then it might be relevant.

There’s been no indication this was so.

The info is only used by those who think this is merely about the passenger’s misbehavior and want to justify their call on it, deflecting from the airline’s clear abuse of its right.

Who knows if there ever is a situation where these folks would push back against a perceived unfair treatment. Pretty sure they’d acquiesce and do what they were told, simply because someone else says its “the rules”, and they wouldn’t want to be a “troublemaker” or a “whiner”.

Fortunately, there are enough people in this world who see it for what it is.

The sordid past history of that “doctor” is relevant in that it helps to explain his behavior during that entire incident. And after reading the official report on him from the Kentucky medical licensing board, no sane person would ever want to have anything to do with him.”

Yes. The moment he began acting out as he did, his motives for his behavior, as revealed by his established moral character, became perfectly relevant.

He’s nothing but a bag of trouble stinking the place up wherever he goes.

you can call me a slave, I have no problem with a big corporation treating customers like s**t, if facebook can treat their customers like s**t and the left praise them for that why can’t United treat customers like s***, conservatives get censored and bumped by facebook all the time.”

Yes. Airline employees are not slaves either; anymore than that young waitress who the aging biddy tries to feed her spite off of with petty demands.

And no one is preventing mentally disturbed, morally dysfunctional, entitled-attitude neurotic pieces of work from flying. If they have it within their powers to do so unassisted they should have at it.

I suggest they start flapping their arms as fast as possible, rather than their gums; as there’s probably an equal chance of their lifting off in either case.

One of the more remarkable features of this debate is how some ostensibly “libertarian types” have begun shouting about authoritarian attitudes without demonstrating the slightest interest in the actual contract they have consented to, and the reciprocal nature of the right of refusal and distancing.

Then, it’s all about their needs and wants, and you might as well be talking to some Marxist bureaucrat cynically deploying bleeding heart rhetoric.

Pretty amazing.

Sorry about that title…she swears a bit.
