    Dude brought it on himself after the involuntary deboarding - he was escorted off, then ran back onto the aircraft and hid in the back, forcing officers to remove him, delaying the flight a further 2 hrs or so.

    He's being compensated for his involuntary deboarding, but might yet face charges for reboarding and refusing to leave.

    Sucks when irrops make the crew use a computer to randomly choose persons to IDB (they are not required to keep upping the compensation offers until someone bites), but those are in the terms of carriage on your ticket.

    I keep hearing "terms of carriage", and I get it, but United is still in the business of customer service, and this is a classic example of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should", they absolutely should have continued to "up the ante" until someone volunteered (which is fairly common practice), as they are the ones who over booked the flight.

    I won't excuse the doctors behavior, but I hope United pays, one way or another.

    Dude was involuntarily deboarded on his back, after being knocked out. He returned to the plane after that, and was provided medical attention, delaying the flight.
    All because of piss poor planning and practices on United's part. United knew it had 4 crew to send somewhere. They should have denied boarding to 4 customers (as outlined in the contract of carriage). Not attempted to remove 4 customers after asses were in seats.
