[Onelife]

This is what happens when United Airways need to make room for one of their own employees...tighten your seat belts this is disturbing.

And the moral of this story is....Don't be late for your safety drill

Next thing they'll be asking if there's a doctor on board.

I just wonder whether all is what it seems. It was a bit odd that the chap was filmed running back onto the 'plane 10 minutes later

Apparently they had a change of heart and let him back on....as for his "l want to go home mutterings" this was more than likley due to him being disorientated having sustained a blow to his head.

I think the story revolves around a company putting it's own interests above that of their fee paying customers.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Not a great example of customer service

It's not just their own staff who can blag a free seat. Provided the airline has some sort of relationship with another airline, any aircrew can get a free flight with any airline

It even made the lunchtime news on BBC, obviously a slow day in the newsroom.

Saw it on the news this morning.

Not sure how cabin crew take priority of a freebie seat over a fare paying passenger. Perhaps he thought that was his seat. It certainly won't do their business any favours.

They don't, they have to wait at the airport until an empty seat comes up. Airlines want revenue-generating pax, not freeloaders

[Stephen]

Which is what I basically said.

[Silver_Shiney]

sorry, not how I read it.

[Gill W]

Well, the head honcho has now given a most abject apology, so I'm guessing the airline has accepted they've done wrong

[Silver_Shiney]

It would have been better if the person(s) who dragged the chap off and caused the injury had apologised

[qbman1]

...and been sacked ?

Hi Gill

I dare say the $600 million fall in their share price will have had something to do with the CDM'S 'u-turn' heartfelt apology. I hope the 69 year old man takes them for another few hundred thousand dollars in compensation.

The way this man was manhandled the company should think themselves lucky that they're not facing a charge of culpable homicide.

I bet his air miles have suddenly shot up though.

[qbman1]

You can always rely on the Daily Wail - they reckon he narrowly escaped jail for supplying drugs for gay parties !

[Mervyn and Trish]

I must have missed that party

[qbman1]

You were probably fighting a 20 stone Galway Mammy for a seat on Ryanair at the time !

[Mervyn and Trish]

Yeah. I lost that one. Along with three teeth

[qbman1]

Welcome to the 8,000 posts club by the way. Just for the sake of staying remotely on-topic, is that anything like the mile high club ?!

[Stephen]

And the prize is!

[qbman1]

Since you're so close to the magic number too, you and Merv better get together and work that one out

[Mervyn and Trish]

And the prize is!

Drinks with the Captain?

[qbman1]

Not on United - he'll be too busy flinging off anyone he doesn't like the look of !
