Never flies with anyone else now.

I wonder if the other passengers will sue for all the mental stress suffered in witnessing a grown man scream like a little girl? Awful scenes.

Boarded as a doctor; leaves as a patient..

They should've offered unlimited free booze pre-flight...
Then you usually end up with some yobbish drunkard who can't handle his ale.... So you have an instant excuse to kick him OFF |

really hope these c*nts get to pay thru the nose for this
and bookings plummet exponentially f*cking handjobs |

I still would like to know what would have happened if a passenger stepped in to stop the assault on a 69 year old man. I am not sure I could sit by while a thug battered an old man, call me old fashioned if you will.
|

By:
Was he 69? He looked very good on it I must say! He looked mid fifties to me.

By:
....do american airlines have us armed marshals on board?
I wouldn't like join in with the chaos if thats the case. |
|
By:
they need to install ejector seats in the future. Only functional in a static plane of course. Not while it's flying.
blow darts? then use a net to drag them out. |

Reminded me of this, although the President was less severe...

Trained bees are the way forward. Nobody takes liberties with trained bees, set them loose on a troublemaker and they'd be off that plane within seconds no problem.

Disgusting behaviour by the Airline. Haven't they heard of a polite offer of an upgrade, or compensation? Hopefully they'll have to cough up a much bigger sum. now.

ceo position is untenable
|
|
By:
Is there any other line of business where you can "oversell" a product?
The CEO making a berk of himself today and shoving his size 9s down his fat gob. Boarding staff probably too busy varnishing their nails to realize they let too many on board.... CEO talking through his hole when stating staff followed procedures.....surely its not procedure to allow people on a plane, then ask them to get off when realizing its full?! Hope the guy absolutely rinses them |
|
By:
" May we offer you an upgrade, Sir? If you can wait another day to travel! We are so sorry for the obvious inconvenience and possible financial distress this may cause you, for which we will make sure that you are adequately recompensed". Nah! Let's just beat him up and throw him off instead! If he complains we'll tell everybody that he is mentally Ill.!

first we seat
then we beat |

Dr Crippen 11 Apr 17 12:10 The passenger involved said he is a doctor. The quip going the rounds says - board as a doctor leave as a patient. guinness2dear 11 Apr 17 17:52 Boarded as a doctor; leaves as a patient.. |

Wonder if felons are seated together so they can keep an eye on them ,story does not mention the others who were removed .
sexual offenders first off imo |
|
By:
I have no sympathy for the guy Why didn't he just get off.Now claiming he can't sleep suffering mental anguish etc.etc. The guards were too rough but claimed he was belligerent and i believe them
|
|
By:
Why should he just get off? he paid for a flight, the flight could have gone ahead without 1 staff member who they ejected him for.
|
|
By:
he`s very selfish, people like him ruin everything for everyone else.
|
|
By:
Shame the doc didnt heed his only advice....
If he saw a patient kicking n Screaming and in total distress...his probably say 'calm down' and tell the fella to adopt some breathing exercises. |
|
By:
First Class, Club Class and Fight Club instead of Cattle or Economy Class.
I still don't understand how it was lawful to beat the man up. it's not as if he was bl***! |
|
By:
the masochists will run for service like that. re-market for the guy that wants to be hit across the chops.

If I had booked and payed for a flight, sat down in a seat allocated to me and told to get off as someone else is going to sit there I don't think I would be to happy.
Why overbook flights anyway? if you miss your flight you don't get a refund! Hope he sues them for all they are worth. Maybe airlines may treat those flying with them as valued customers instead of cattle. |

By:
Yer man is still recovering in hospital.
But his lawyers are on the case. CEO seems to have done an about turn and says the passenger was not at all to blame. |
|
By:
A broken nose, two front teeth and a concussion thus far.
This could be big |
|
By:
could have been much worse.
His trousers could have come down being dragged down the aisle and everyone seen his nob |
