Sounds like they should have removed the guy sleeping in seats that weren't his, not folks who were probably cooperating with the flight crew. Or there's something missing in this story.

See this article - https://www.yahoo.com/style/united-airlines-kicks-couple-off-plane-en-route-wedding-181721817.html https://www.yahoo.com/style/united-airlines-kicks-couple-off... They refused to sit in their ticketed seats, which is why they were removed.
- williamscales 10y agoAh, I had a feeling something wasn't quite right with the account in the article. That makes it pretty much a non-story.
- joelrunyon 10y agoYes, it's another "outrage against United" story - but in this case, it's seems more likely that it's just a whiny customer who didn't listen to the flight staff and who's behavior affected the flight.
