Offtopic we must go to the united airlines and EAT THEM.

Yeah, it's a giant clusterfuck of mistakes:
- The plane was crowded because nationwide storms have fucked up our flight infrastructure.
- People didn't want to give up their seats because some had already been delayed over a day.
- This guy was a doctor that had patients to attend; literally the last person they should kick.
- UA oversold tickets (which they're legally allowed to do, within error bars).
- UA didn't notice that they have overbooked until after people were boarded/sitting.
- UA forgot that they needed to send employees on this plane as well (i.e. to fix the flights).
-* The buyout price was far too low and nobody volunteered to sell back their seat.
- They called the cops instead of literally any other option.
- The Chicago PD beat the dogshit out of an old asian man.
- UA continues to try and defend everything that happened and is in a PR tailspin.


At the asterisk, if UA had injected literally a few hundred dollars, everything would have been resolved. And note that it was already extremely out of the ordinary since it took all the previous failures.

Boggles the mind that nobody involved could comprehend that.

That was their first mistake. Mistake number two: they let everyone board before doing their lottery. Mistake number three: it would cost United less to hire a freakin' limo to drive their pilots those 4 or so hours instead of the seat buyback, let alone the lawsuit they're going to get later from this. Idiots.

Wait, they did that because they needed seats for their own damn pilots?

Yup. Well, crew to be exact. Not sure if they were flight attendants, pilots, or other crew.
