I just read up on that. Apparently she got sued for assault then the charges were dropped since the father never showed up to court a few times and he claims he was never notified of it. Welp.

How much do you want to bet that, no matter what the initial impetus, people listed "takes steam out of Russia story" in the pro column for the strike?

And, yet, we know that Russia was warned, and the base was functioning again a few hours later for the Syrians. I kind of already know the answer here, but do these buffoons really think we would have been puppet-mastered this easily?

The simple answer is that guy didn't have room to refuse if I'm understanding aviation procedure for following crew orders. There's also a max compensation an airline can offer, which is 1300 bucks in check form.

No one says if that was offered, so the aviation police went with assaulting the dude. I'm not lawyer but maybe that's where the passenger has room for legal action.

Under what authority? Is the FAA going to fine them or something if they decide an extra few hundred dollars is worth avoiding a violent situation?

edit: Looks like it's Department of Transportation, and those are just minimum standards. The airline has to offer you the smaller of 400% of your fare/$1350 for delays longer than 2 hrs. They can offer more.

They offered a travel voucher for $1000 and no one took it. That passenger is also going to get loving paaaaaid especially if he did indeed have surgery lined up this morning like reports stated.

Because he got assaulted by police and then dragged off a flight in front of hundreds of witnesses. They knocked him out and dragged him off the flight. I doubt it ever sees a courtroom and United settles as quietly as possible. I'm not basing this on any legal decision or statute. A quick skimming through the statutes showed that compliance with crewmember instructions is required for all safety related concerns and it is illegal to interfere with crewmember duties.

That's not going to cover popping a guy that wasn't drunk or unruly and dragging his limp body away.

Man, that 'Communicator of the Year' CEO is pretty loving out of touch with reality, considering the sympathy is almost entirely on the passenger's side.

The videos are going to continue to draw mad sympathy for the guy, along with reports that he was asking to call his lawyer. As a general rule, it's bad form for police to knock unconscious a non-violent person asking for legal consultation.

It's just funny because even if United or Chicago PD's PR people didn't push that story out, it has no loving bearing on what happened. Like if the dude was drunk and he had to be bounced off the plane for being drunk, a story about him being arrested previously for a DUI or whatever would add context.

In this case, it's a lovely smear that has no bearing on what happened. Thankfully, it seems like most people are calling it out for what it is.
