He said he was a doctor and had to get back to his patients. Supposedly he was allowed back on the plane with blood on his face. What on earth is going on in this world of ours - have we all gone crazy?
Just recently someone mentioned flying to Australia on United and I suggested they look for another flight.

It was incredible how short sighted United was in this instance. As I understand it United offered up to $800 for volunteers. There were no takers. United could have offered more, all the way up to $1300 but did not. The drive to where the plane was going was only 290 miles. The flight crew was not needed until the next day. Why would you throw paying passengers off a plane to move your own employees when they could have driven? I will never fly this airline again.
