But don't take my word for it, google and learn something.
Maybe you should stop using Google and take a college business class: share price goes down, cost of money goes up.

The whole thing reminds me of the same type of crap when a cop kills a criminal who justly deserved it. All the people screaming don't have all the facts and just want to play the victim card

If anyone takes the time to look into it, the papers from the medical board are available. Wow....

Of course, the mainsteam media won't release these facts and continue with the victim angle. Sigh.

Maybe this was brought up in a previous post, but I'm wondering why this flight crew even departed in the first place. There is no way in hell I'd fly an airplane with a cabin full of people that just watched a man be literally dragged of the aircraft, bloodied and beaten. Obviously some passengers are going to be outraged and on the verge of violence. And you want to take them 30,000 feet in the air in an aluminum tube?? Eff that. I'm headed to the hotel. Just saying. 🙄🙄

Additionally, once the police arrive, the Captains authority to tell them what they can and can't do is diminished even more.
If the passenger is on board, and then taken off the airplane, he is certainly being "removed". If it is happening onboard the aircraft, or associated with the operation of the aircraft, there is no situation where the Pilot-In-Command has Zero authority, at least not at my airline.
If a gate agent had asked me if they could forcibly remove a passenger having done nothing wrong, in order to facilitate a deadheading crew, my answer would be NO! As it should have been on the United flight we are all talking about.

Doesn't matter - we(UNITED) screwed this up. Oscar Munoz what are you going to do?

You know GB of old CAL would have appeared on FOX 2 or 3 times and give everybody some free FC tickets and they would've helped him smooth this over. Munoz is still in shock, wondering what the big problem is - to him passengers are like freight and boxes.

He'll probably take some more medical leave.
