Nice going, United. I hope this costs the ass of everyone involved. Including the security clowns who dragged the guy off being prosecuted for their actions.
Nothing will happen to ANYONE. Overbooking by airlines is a common practice and the courts have already granted their blessings to the practice. The fine print when you buy a ticket states that you are NOT guaranteed a seat and the airlines limit on responsibility is capped... Usually a refund and in some circumstances a rebooking on another flight and a hotel room if necessary. A lawsuit for this is doomed before it's even filed. As for the badgemonkey......"I was just following orders" is an ironclad defense for he hired thugs in "Free Amerika".
