Let's not be dramatic. Actual airline safety issues that lead to horrific deaths are not being discussed here. This is just piss poor customer service that could be encountered on any property (e.g. hotels that have overbooked, etc).
- macintux 10y agoTrying to remember the last news story about someone being dragged out of a hotel room they've already checked into.
- fixermark 10y agoTrying to remember the last news story about someone being asked to leave their hotel room, refusing to do so, having police called, and continuing to refuse to do so. People being kicked out of hotel rooms because of scheduling errors does happen. It's pretty rare.
- macintux 10y agoI'd be surprised were it legal to have the police drag someone out of a room they've paid for and been checked into, merely because another guest wants that room. Sure, you can ask, but on what legal basis do you have to apply violence?
- laretluval 10y agoThe hotel is private property. If the owners of the property ask you to leave and you don't, you are trespassing.
- macintux 10y agoThese aren't just bums off the street. You signed a contract with the airline or hotel. You haven't violated the contract by making too much noise, or selling dope out of the room. I don't think your argument is valid, but IANAL.
- benchaney 10y agoThis is incorrect. In a hotel, much like in an apartment, there are significant legal protections for tenants have paid and not violated any laws.
- deong 10y agoI doubt it's quite that simple. It's private property that serves the public. We've had court rulings saying you can't, e.g., refuse to rent your wedding venue to gay couples. If you make accommodations available to the public, there are legal responsibilities that go along with that. I don't know what the specific regulations are surrounding hotel rooms, but certainly they're not "private property" in the same way that your house is.
- stordoff 10y agoErrors happen, of course, but has a hotel customer even been removed from a room post-check-in because a member of staff needs the room? Edit: From a major chain at least. I'm sure all manner of poor decisions have been made by smaller/single location operators, though they aren't really comparable to United.
- pavel_lishin 10y agoDr. Dao didn't look like he had a particularly safe experience in the photographs.
- jsemrau 10y agoIt's not only the safety part. With hotel rooms in many cases you have a choice to just go to the hotel next door. If there is only one daily flight tough luck. You'd better find a hotel room.
- gaius 10y agoAfter this questions will rightly be asked about how such a crew would react in an emergency. Save United employees first?
