Just in case United's reputation wasn't bad enough, they've now apparently killed someone's giant rabbit:

United settled with David Dao for an "undisclosed" amount.
Pretty sure he's now a healthy millionaire.
Pretty sure he's now a healthy millionaire.
They are not disclosing the sum, but I estimate it to be in the ballpark of 5-10 mio. $.
A trial at the current circumstances with a gullible jury would be a disaster for United - never mind the loss in business if the trial would have run for months and be in the news forever.
I think that it is possible that they offered him even up to 20 mio. $ in settlement.

I am sure that if they offer 5.000$ in cash, then they will have plenty of takers.

Personally I think that even if the guy did it somewhat on purpose, I don't feel much pity for United. They killed a bunny recently and their response was moronic and cold.
Let them pay.

Fuck Dr. Dao. This huge settlement is gonna set a precedent for entitled dickheads and cunts to try to pull shit on airplanes and then claim to be the victim. I'm not siding with United as they handled the situation terribly but I absolutely hate that this POS pathetic excuse faggot of a man got paid millions of dollars for acting like a fucking toddler.
This so called "POS pathetic excuse faggot of a man' got paid (unknown amount) of dollars for being removed illegally from an aircraft by force causing injury. End result is predictable and standard. Learn to think objectively, it'll help you get though the day without tripping over your mouth.

Second that.
United made a mistake.
But the Doctor is a liar and opportunist who cries like a baby.
Would any man with decent character act like that?
Probably not.

United didn't "make a mistake". They took full advantage of a legal and social frame work which for years allowed them to fuck people over by not delivering what they promised, knowing full well that the vast majority of people can't be bothered and don't have the resources to fight them and their lawyers over a couple hundred dollars or delays of a few days, all so they could make more money. If you want to talk about lying and opportunism the airlines wrote the book.
While I wouldn't have done what the doctor did and concede he does look like an opportunistic whiny bitch, he was merely fighting fire with fire and hopefully this reins in the airlines a little.
I'm curious about Mike's take on the FYRE festival thread. I mean afterall they did say things "may not be as advertised" so they're not guilty of any wrongdoing right?
I don't see why people allow companies to act like this. See how far you get if you attempt to buy a car, but then tell the dealer this 2 inch stack of money is for representation only, and that the 300 bills you're going to give them might not look like this stack, maybe having 10s on them instead of 100s, or that after you take the car you'll actually deliver the money at some point in the future, or maybe now, or not at all.

Chicago airport head of security was fired over this:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-...ity-chief-fired-after-united-airlines-debacle
"Following United Airlines' settlement with David Dao (with no one from the airline being fired), it seems a scapegoat has been found. AP reports, Jeffrey Redding, the head of security at Chicago's airports, "has been terminated from his duties" at O'Hare and Midway airports. No reason was given.
As AP reports, The Department of Aviation said in a statement Thursday that Jeffrey Redding "has been terminated from his duties" at O'Hare and Midway airports. No reason was given. Redding wasn't immediately available for comment late Thursday.
Redding was overseeing the investigation into the forcible removal of 69-year-old physician David Dao from the United plane by three of his officers April 9. Dao has agreed an undisclosed settlement with the airline. Dao's lawyer said Thursday that the settlement averts any lawsuit against Chicago officials.
Separately, the Chicago Tribune recently reported that Redding was fired from his previous job for sexual harassment in 2015."
So there you go. Not sure if he was the right fall guy for this. He was screwed either way. If he had done the right thing, as in tell United to deal with that "problem" itself, he would have been fired due to airline pressure because this wouldn't have been news.
*seperate note: Seadog raises a good point. If any of you guys have lost luggage with United, aside from the customer service bs they put you through, you have to wait a full SEVEN months to get money back from your lost luggage. And during this time you have to constantly follow up with them, file onerous paperwork, and then get some nominal amount of money back. The lost luggage agents are people in india with a clear robotic script of 12 prompts they repeat over and over again. The 7 month wait is to simply wear down people into either giving up, or inevitably some people are no loner able to pursue the lead that long for other life reasons.
