Something like that but I don't think it says, you are allowed to assault a passenger, drag them by the arms etc. It's outrageous to do this any person but the fact they did this to a 69 year old man is totally out of order and for the CEO to publicly apologise, in a pathetic manner by saying sorry that they had to re-accommodate these passengers and that they want to reach out to the passenger but then he sends an internal memo saying he is behind his staff.

Totally ridiculous. Only thing I can say is, I don't think I could have sat there and done nothing, I know there was passengers being vocal and outraged while it happened but I just don't think I could have sat there and allowed that abuse to happen.

United Airlines is getting an absolute roasting online and are being absolutely trolled to death at the moment and I have absolutely no sympathy for them, here are a couple of newly invented company mottos that people are making up for them:
