I’m sure you’re probably getting tired now about how the United Express Flight 3411 operated by Republic Airlines on April 9th from O’Hare Airport in Chicago had its henchmen board the plane and forcibly remove a paying customer. I’m not, but I am getting tired of all the point of views which are defending the airlines.
Well, my wife is a nurse so does this make me knowledgeable
enough to work in the ER? Or work assisting doctors in surgery? Absolutely not.
This is the mindset of the Left for certain.
The Left has even blamed Donald Trump, the President of the
United States who occupies the highest office in the land and a role model to
the entire world for this. A man who threatened and encouraged his supporters
to “beat the crap” out of protesters and who mocked a disabled reporter.
According to a freelance journalist who writes for the
alt-left fake news rag the Independent,
“we’re living in Donald Trump’s America.” A place where “Anti-fascist liberals
are committing arson and beating one another, bigots are openly assaulting
Muslims at work, schools are getting shot up, and hate crimes have
skyrocketed.”
It’s bad enough that we have to jump through hoops to get through
security: Take our shoes off, take our belt off, empty our pockets, and pass
through the scanner. If we refuse the scanner, we will be groped and felt up
and finger raped. The worst part is having to watch our wives, mothers, and
daughters go through this virtual rape.
Now we have to worry about TSA or aviation thugs boarding
the plane to forcible remove somebody. Not just escorting a person off the
plane, but dragging them down the aisle by their arms bleeding and becoming the
viral video of the week.
The argument goes that if a flight is overbooked, then those
passengers who are “bumped” can exchange their reservation for compensation and
a later flight. According to transportation.gov, the Department of
Transportation (DOT) requires airlines to “seek out people” who may be willing
to give up their seats for compensation “before bumping anyone involuntarily” at the “check-in or boarding area.”

Despite being a doctor and having patients to attend to the
next morning, he was physically removed so four Republic Airline staff members,
who had to cover an unstaffed flight at another location could fly to Louisville
International Airport, the final destination of flight 3411.
In a nutshell? A profit-driven airline valued the dollar
over a paying customer, so United’s paid thugs were given the green light to shake
a customer down in order for him to give up the seat he had paid for. And United’s
stellar PR response? To claim its staff were all “following established
procedures” and called the customer “disruptive and belligerent”. This, coming
from "Communicator of the Year for 2017" by PRWeek.
As of Tuesday (April 11) United Continental Holdings was
down 3.99 percent which wiped some $675 million off its market capitalization
of $22.5 billion. In pre-market trading on Tuesday, the company’s stock value
dropped as much as 6% which eliminated $1.4 billion from United Continental
Holdings market capitalization.
This may be why United CEO Oscar Muñoz changed his tune in
which he now describes the incident as "truly horrific" and expressed
an understanding of the "outrage, anger, disappointment" felt by
many. Muñoz added that "No one should ever be mistreated this way."
