    I'm pretty sure he didn't have a legal right.

    Aircraft. And no, he had no such legal right.

    Maybe Mo should read this.

    It's their fúcking aeroplane, mate. If they tell you to get off, get off or expect to be dragged off, surely?

    What a grade A ****.

    I'd be interested to know what the criteria was that resulted in these particular individuals being chosen. Was it last checked in or last to book seats, was it at random or was there another reason?

    Regardless, United do come out of this looking like grade A c*nts.

    Where I don't agree is with any suggestion that this man behaved correctly, was an entirely innocent party or was within his rights to stay on the plane come what may. He wasn't and the company had the legal right to shift him.
    I don't think we disagree regarding the legal basis. My argument is more that their approach to resolving a situation that was entirely their own fault and problem was an abysmal way to treat an innocent customer caught in their incompetent cross fire.

    I could use stronger words but you get the point.

    Ticket class (ie how much you paid), frequent flyer status..basically they choose whoever's custom they care about the least.

    In that case what would his options be? Take it on the chin and accept the decision?
