        Sickening. Boycott United. This man paid to be abused by an airline so their employees could fly. Disgusting. I will fly ANY other airline.

        will not fly United. And their apology about having to "re-accommodate" a passenger was pathetic corporate b.s.

        Still mother rag can not get a simple story correct. It was not overbooked they wanted to have 4 employees added to the flight.

        Listening to soundtrack of violence perpetrated against a paying passenger; women on board vocal & outraged but not a single man's voice.
