All of the facts of this case haven't been presented yet. You're way too quick to defend drug pushing felons.
Yes, just spew out more random big numbers as if someone wouldnt have taken it if they offered $2000 or so. Remember, you just need literally one more person out of 65 to take the deal.
Very likely over the cap that he was allowed to offer. Given that they can simply force people off there's no incentive to keep raising the price forever.....not to mention, you do realize that the more they offer in these instances, the more they have to charge people to fly right?
Oh yes, and you're conviniently ignoring the fact that someone openly offered to get off for $1,600. The stewardess laughed at him. But yes, keep throwing out numbers like $10mm.
Most people would think that someone would have taken the $1000, so you can't assume that they just jump on it if the offer was $2000 from the start.
United Airlines Promised Federal Regulators That All Ticketed Passengers Are Guaranteed Seats Less than three years before a passenger was forcibly removed from one of its aircrafts, United Airlines assured federal regulators that all ticketed passengers are guaranteed seats on flights. The promise was delivered in federal filings reviewed by International Business Times. In September 2014 comments to federal officials, the Chicago-based airline outlined its opposition to proposed rules that sought more disclosure of the fees airlines charge to customers. One of the rules at issue was designed to compel airlines to more explicitly disclose fees charged for reserving specific seats. “Including advance-seat-assignment charges among the ‘basic ancillary service’ fees that must be disclosed as part of initial fare displays makes no sense,” the airline wrote to the Department of Transportation. “Every ticket, of course, guarantees a passenger a seat on the plane, with no additional mandatory seat-assignment charges." Later in the filing, United Airlines expanded on its promise to regulators that it guarantees every ticketed passenger a seat. http://www.ibtimes.com/political-ca...lators-all-ticketed-passengers-are-guaranteed
When you don't set a cap, you have to include numbers like 10 mil......that's my point. There has to be a cap for things like this.....and if you think about it, you know that there is one.
Not really. They can do it in terms of vouchers and pay pennies on the dollar. There ARE TONS of undersold flights as well. You were already taking a loss on them, so adding a customer who pays nothing doesn't hurt you. Again, mismanaged and unorganized.
I openly support a openly bleeding paying customer getting dragged off a plane by an overzealous law enforcement official (who has been suspended, BTW).

I can't believe people are arguing this insanity. Fact: We have a legal system that determines whether someone was wronged. Leave the speculation to the courts. Fact: The pilots and crew can remove you (safely) at anytime for any reason. If they tell you to get off, then GTFO.
Per Bloomberg, there were 660 million tickets sold last year to passengers. 475k volunteered to give up seats or were bumped. Even if you had to offer every single one of them $1000 more (not remotely necessary as most of the time someone jumps at the current offer), and pass all of it off to other customers as an increase in prices (so they can maintain every cent of their currently fat profits), then the average ticket price would have to increase by... 72 cents.
He was, but that is just one of many facts about this case. There will be more coming to light in the coming days or weeks.
