Row 21 on that plane is an exit row with substantially more legroom and clearly not a standard economy row.

Nice try by the couple.

I believe that in accordance with general company guidelines and policy, why weren't these people duffed up.

I notice they said the flight had loads of empty seats, perhaps united don't need to worry about overbooking anymore for some reason

United Airlines has reached a settlement with a Kentucky doctor who was filmed being dragged forcibly from a flight in Chicago.

Dr David Dao was treated in hospital after aviation police physically removed him from the plane to make space for four crew members on the flight between Chicago and Louisville, Kentucky.

I would have took them all the way. They have now essentially settled out of court and they included a non-disclosure agreement with the family upon acceptance of the settlement. I'd say about $10 Million minimum settlement offer.
