Dr. David Dao, is taking legal action against United Airlines for forceful removal. His lawyers have made an emergency request to preserve videos and cockpit voice recordings.

Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking
Well, I dunno I hope that future passengers don't rue the day when a soft hearted social media effectively castrated airline security staff.

Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking
Yeah the lawsuit is as expected, worded in a way to drag both entities through court at the same time. They'll claim United Airlines didn't do enough before calling for physical removal and of course they'll claim they were assaulted and I think they have a fair case on both accounts.
I expect United to either try and settle and/or throw the law enforcement under the bus. I'm not sure if the city will try and settle though, then again I can't see it ever going on their favour though. It's unjust assault with complete video evidence, there's not really much to defend themselves with.

They're not private security and have no affiliation to any airlines, they're City Police assigned to Airport law enforcement that operate under the Chicago police department.

Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking
Yeah I know everyone see's some big compensation here but this should also be used to reel airlines in with these practices, it isn't just about compensating someone but rather stopping this crap happening again.

Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking
Just watched Press conference of Dr Dao's Attorney and Daughter.
Seems the lawyers are gunning for both United Airlines and Chicago city police. More than one entity can be held responsible. They are not ready to issue lawsuits yet they are in due diligence mode and working to get to issuing the lawsuits soon.
Lawyers don't believe this is a overbooking issue: Given last minute seats were needed to accommodate 4 UA Staff.
Dr Dao injuries were extensive:
Severely broken nose that requires corrective surgery.
Concussion.
He lost two front teeth.

Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking
It's just not been United Airlines week at all.
Snake on a plane? No!
Worse....
....Scorpion! And it's stung a man and on a United Airlines flight....
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/13/scorp...o-calgary.html
I suppose we are now going to be sensitive and subject to out of the ordinary things happening on flights.... specifically if it is a United Airlines flight...

One week you're flying high, the next week it all goes down the Swanee. We all get our turn sooner or later.

Re: United Airlines: Passenger violently removed due to overbooking
Really bad on the part of United, this wasn't an overbooking issue. The seats were for replacement air crew needed for a different flight. United had loads of options and choose the worst possible. The passengers were already bordered, United should of chartered a separate flight for the air crew or had them driven there.
If they hadn't been bored then they could have bumped the passengers.
