    A United spokesman said that the man was “asked several times, politely” to give up his seat before force was usedhttp://nyti.ms/2oZqPG8

        HE PAID FOR THE SEAT. And for that he was assaulted. Yay, @United.

        So then there's no choice but to assault your paying customer? Please. I think there were other possibilities.

        The guy in the seat was there first! No rationale for dragging him out of the seat. FC/FS.

        And he was pulled (quite literally) to allow (non-paying) crew to fly. So, "overbooked" means "oh hey we need that seat you paid for back"

        Its like Amazon selling me a book, and when I'm curled up by my fireplace reading it, sending a few thugs to take it back by force

        Not overbooked. Full flight. United needed 4 seats for employees so wanted to displace paying customers

        You as an employee suffer the inconvenience of waiting for another flight. NOT the paying customers, and certainly NOT by brutal force.

        #United might have needed them to be a crew on a later flight, to avoid delaying it. Instead they delayed the earlier flight for Fight Club.

        Step 1: Ask politely. Step 2: Bust his face? Seems legit. #BoycottUnitedAirlines
