In reply to the discussion: Story about 69 year old Dr. David Dao; the man United dragged off the plane [View all]randome
(34,845 posts)I disagree with that. We don't know what occurred before or after the video, which gives us a very narrow viewpoint. It sounds like UA did everything they could to avoid playing the 'fine print clause' of the boarding agreement. Maybe they should have canceled the flight for everyone but then all the passengers would likely blame Dr. Dao for that.
Situations are different when on a plane, which is a narrow and confining space. You can't let one passenger hold the entire plane hostage, can you? What about when a passenger is drunk and loud and distracting everyone? Do the police have the right to use force then?
I would guess the same criteria apply when a passenger refuses to leave for whatever reason.
