What have we learned from the passenger being "voluntarily removed" from the United Airlines flight?

We learned that 800 bucks and doing something kind isn't a motivator.
We learned a bit about airline overbooking.
We were reminded that disobeying an airline employee on a plane is a crime.
We learned that United Airlines has ZERO idea how to craft a public message.
We also learned that there are some airport security police who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near situations that require security.

We knew already that most corporations, not only airlines, treat their customers only as moving wallets instead of human beings.
The lesson from this incident is that it is important that such practises are made viral. Financial loses is the only language they know.

We learned the passenger is a kook. A disgraced doctor who traded oxys for gay sex. He was found by a psychiatrist to have poor decision making skills.

I think the overbooking is a bit of a fraud airlines have been getting away from this for wayyyy too long.

"First come first served"? The man was already sitting in a seat. Does that mean that people showed up after he did so he was chosen (?) to be removed so that they could get on? Don't they count the number of people going thru the gate and once the number of seats are filled stop anymore from getting on and book them on a new flight or reimburse them? I also heard (on the news ?) that prior to the incident he was loud and disruptive and that people complained and when they tried to remove him he became belligerent and abusive. And that the airlines used the excuse of overbooking to remove him. Why the hell would they need an excuse if he was ?

I learned that I'm takin' the TRAIN from now on!

I think he should sue

Don't take the money they offer to give up your flight... hold out for the lawsuit

Voluntarily?

United airlines now offers wrestling matches before plane take-off

Airlines shouldn't overbook.

Nothing, no new info was gained

That he was an inconsiderate jerk that inconvenienced all the other passengers. Because of him the other passengers were delayed over an hour.

People will continue flying United because they have the cheapest fares - which just shows people are whores and corporate America knows this...as a result we continue marching day by day toward dystopia...
