They should do a live auction on the plane, "I need 4 people to get off for $100...$200..." The competitiveness to "win" would save airlines money, make the "winners" feel even better about getting booted, and the "losers" don't actually lose anything. Probably more efficient too.

- cm2187 10y agoIf there is a lawsuit, I bet the settlement will be several order of magnitudes that. Particularly given that the guy was a physician.
- scurvy 10y agoI doubt that United would be party to the lawsuit. It would be the airport cops who were called and roughed up the passenger.
- bdavisx 10y agoThey will be party to a lawsuit; and I'm guessing that they'll settle for some amount even if they would almost surely win. Their legal costs will be far more than $800 in any case.
