13 Reasons Why you were kicked off the plane.

Couple of things:

1. "Boarding" is not complete just because you got on the plane. In fact, on American you'll hear them say "Boarding is now complete" right before they close the doors.

2. They can reduce capacity of paying customers, even during boarding. It happens more with the 50 seaters for weather, when they need to load extra fuel because they're worried about a diversion.

3. United Express is actually in this case Republic Airlines is the carrier. Different supervisory staff, runs on a shoestring.

4. Voluntarily giving up your seat, you get a voucher. Involuntarily, you have the right to ask for a check or cash on the spot. Delta is now experimenting with Amazon gift cards for voluntarily giving up your seat in certain situations.

5. Most flights have about 4 seats which are not assigned until right before boarding begins. Used to take care of passengers with disabilities, passengers with little kids, and yes, employees.

6. Crew to go staff another flight are "positive space" and treated like ticket holders. In fact they can be "must ride."

All that said, the screw-up is with the Republic's scheduling unit and the gate agent. Dispatch should have realized that they MIGHT need 4 seats on that plane and instructed the gate to not give those seat assignments out. Then the people who didn't have seat assignments would have been bumped and never would have made it onto the plane. Might have been this guy, might not.

And the bigger screw-up was not realizing that they had 5 seats to Indianapolis, which is inexcusable because INDIANAPOLIS IS REPUBLIC'S MAINTENANCE BASE and there are extra evening Chicago-Indy flights there just to ferry planes in to be serviced. That should be a "Duh!" piece of information for every fucking employee. If they had offered volunteers $800, a flight to Indy, and a taxi ride to the Louisville airport or their house, somebody would have taken it even though they would have gotten home at 2am.

And the Chicago police, well they were just pissed that they had to do something, usually that's one of the cushiest jobs there is.

I don't believe this was written and posted by a pilots wife. I believe this is a PR move / post to try and sway some favor back to United.

The guys who pulled him off the plane weren't actually police and were told in January to stop wearing jackets that say "Police" on them.

United is really screwed here.

True. So is the City of Chicago.

I do think it's funny that suddenly he lost two teeth and has a broken nose.

United Passenger Stung By Scorpion On Board Flight

It’s been a bad week for United airlines, but this one stings.

Passenger Richard Bell was traveling on board Flight 1418 from Calgary to Houston when he was stung by a scorpion, CBS News confirmed.

The scorpion fell onto Bell’s head and stung him underneath his fingernail.

“We were on the plane about an hour, having dinner, and then something fell on my head, so I grabbed it. I was hanging onto it,” he said. “It was lucky that it hit my nail more than my skin I think, so maybe my thumbnail saved me a little bit.”

United apologized and offered Bell and his wife a credit for a future flight.

As a precaution, crews also checked the airplane for a possible infestation.

The incident happened on Sunday, the same day passenger Dr. David Dao was forcibly removed from a United flight in Chicago.

Scorpions on a Plane just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Apparently the pilots' union felt left out so they've taken a stab at blaming everyone else except United. Sure this will work out just as well as the CEO and the pilot's wife.

well that was quick, case settled today. United took full responsibility for incident, no longer blaming it on the security guards.

Didn't see the amount of the settlement, I assume it will come out at some point.

This shit is getting crazy.

In light of what just happened, why would you ever willingly get off the plane in that situation? Refuse to move and worst case scenario you get a few thousand dollars to exit the plane, best case scenario you get dragged down the aisle and cash in for seven figures.

Blame a fucking retarded Federal law for this one. Delta is just complying with a stupid law and probably gets fined if they don't.
