Given a similar situation where weather requires additional fuel which requires the removal of 1 person and you are that randomly chosen person - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Apr 11, 06:37 11
- *Then* you offer more money to the point you realize it might be better to cancel the flight. Treat everyone the same. -- nm - Max Apr 11, 06:39 1
  - I've seen that episode of Growing Pains. No one gets what they want until the one who did it volunteers and gives it up -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Apr 11, 06:44
- No, you find a way to get VOLUNTEERS. That's the point. -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 06:37 8
  - I get all the outrage. I'm just saying I have a hard time putting this on United and not individual people. - volnelk Apr 11, 06:41 7
    - Regardless of anything United did, by the time the cops are called you cooperate. You don't throw a tantrum & force them to drag you through the aisle -- nm - Ender Apr 11, 06:47 4

        he stayed on so that he would make his appointments the next day. I'd take that in a doctor any day of the week -- nm - Beaker Apr 11, 07:09
        
        to be honest, if he did have a shift at the hospital starting, I want him making every effort to be there. -- nm - groiny Apr 11, 06:52
    - I would agree, except United isn't really apologizing or taking any ownership. -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 06:43 1
      - Well, they are separating the policy from the incident. - volnelk Apr 11, 06:48
