Sunday’s forcible removal of a passenger from a United Airlines flight prior to departure has caused an international uproar and public relations nightmare for the airline and its chief executive officer.
CEO Oscar Munoz initially backed the decision to remove the paying passenger to make room for a United crew that needed to get to its next stop.
But as outrage spread across the media, calls for Munoz’s ouster grew and public attention was focused on airline practices on overbooking.
Find out how Munoz is trying to weather the storm and restore the reputation of the airline on the next page.
Overbooking is an immoral process.
Jacob Johnson I’m not fighting anything.. I am showing official sites for facts.. We know people’s judgement rules above all else, and usually before all facts come out.What i’m saying if united hadn’t been the plane involved, it could have been southwest or any of them who had this same issue of a person insisting not to leave a plane..as they would have called those same people to remove them.. if you study the facts United actually has less overbooks than most airlines. you people act as though it’s 100% airlines fault when i’m sure the fault lies among many here.sadly the eyes are blinded and STARE at only the airlines. and yes their stock is dropping and will continue.. as I said people should be contacting their senators to stop allowing overbooking and then when the rates go up on airlines we can all laugh and point fingers again. the man was mistreated but again the man triggered this abuse..
Your right they could just raise the cost of tickets to cover when plane isn’t full or if someone cancels that makes more sense
Jacob Johnson what a fucking liberal you sound like. That sick perverted man bought a ticket. He agreed to their fucking policy. He refused to comply to law enforcement make his$#%&!@*comply. Oh and Jacob you dumb idiot. If airlines stopped selling out their tickets the prices for everyone would skyrocket. But I’m not shocked you cant understand that conception you dont look like you made it past the 10th grade. Now get off this page you stupid liberal fucking fool
