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

MAN are you confused!

@Fernie: Not at all. He placed his welfare over all the other passengers. The airline has the right to remove passengers.

@lastbabyboomer: If they're doing something wrong. The airline placed their profits over the welfare of a passenger.

@lastbabyboomer: MAN are you confused

@Fernie: Not at all. Too many people think they are entitled.

@lastbabyboomer: entitled...entitled...wow...I'm done

@lastbabyboomer: Entitled to be treated like a human being, fairly ? Hell yeah !! Don't you think you are ?

@bijouxbroussard: Treated like a human and fairly yes, entitled to refuse to comply and inconvenience others NO.

@lastbabyboomer: The airline inconvenienced the passengers. They're being held responsible.

@bijouxbroussard: His refusal to leave made the plane an hour late taking off.

@lastbabyboomer: The airline "overbooking" caused the problem in the first place.

@bijouxbroussard: Regardless, you can't refuse to comply with lawful requests.

@lastbabyboomer: Law had nothing to do with it. You said "this is common practice" That doesn't make it right, or necessarily lawful. He had paid his money. They decided someone else was more important.

@bijouxbroussard: It is common practice. I agree it's not right, but it is legal.
