[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [qb] Quinn said that under the passenger contract, removing Dao from the plane while it was still at the gate was no different from denying him boarding. And once Dao refused to leave, Quinn said, the airline had a reason to use force. [/qb][/QUOTE]I doubt it. Sounds like the posturing of the corporate shill. However he is being realistic in saying that UA has already lost in the court of public opinion. Anything less that abject groveling by the company and seeing the heads on platters of all responsible parties could well result in a Pyrrhic victory. Even if UA does come out, it could well result in it being worse for the corporation than if they just quietly wrote very large checks to all affected, and I mean checks, not travel vouchers. Regardless of outcome, I certainly intend to stay away from UA henceforth. Maybe throwing this subcontract carrier under the bus could be a worthwhile action on the part of UA, but still it is UA's name that is responsible in the public mind. Whether done by UA or an inquisitive reporter (if there still is such a thing) digging up the past dirt on the good doctor worked against UA. It came across much like a rapist using as a defense,"She wore a tight skirt one day in the previous week." It only makes me want to hit them harder. And, oh yeah: "Use of force" HOGWASH. Force that leaves a 69 year old man bloody, who given ethenticity was probably no more than about 5'-6" and 125 pounds could hardly be considered [b]reasonable[/b] force. [/QB][/QUOTE]
