SuPerBoRed Twincharged April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 i think stopping the officer has more serious repercussion... not a wise move... not surprised if you get shot... honestly.... verbal sir.. verbal... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman888 Moderator April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 can flame me on this but i think some how it was the race issue. The management didn't bother to think of other alternative since only 1 crew cannot board the flight due to their own manpower issue, they chose to enforce this due to the last passenger happen to to be an asian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 I think a lot of CEO are really stupid people. They are probably just power hungry people that back stabbed their way to the top. This idiot beating his passengers up and telling his staff it was the right thing to do and the uber idiot arguing with his taxi driver and stupid enough to be filmed and exposed. Hope he learned his lesson, next time f the driver off camera and lie that it didn't happen. The corporate world is getting more sleazy no wonder companies have to talk about ethics and morality cos many top management don't have it. Ex-CEO of United. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/10/united-is-being-immature-former-continental-ceo-gordon-bethune-says.html After watching this, you will better understand why this shit happened. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoElite 6th Gear April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 agreed agreed... so.. already boarded.. but plane cannot take off ... offered the max compensation (4x ticket price for a short haul domestic flight) randomly chosen customer refused to leave.. call in police to remove him. wat do u think the airline should have done different? Very easy, just don't fly their own staff back. The staff are not part of the working crew for the flight right? What makes the staff have a higher priority than a paying customer? They need to work on a next flight? Then paying customer no need to work or fulfill other responsibilities? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 BTW, here are the videos of the aftermath (think most just watched the beating video). https://twitter.com/kaylyn_davis/status/851471574385307648 https://twitter.com/kaylyn_davis/status/851480498186485760 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcann 6th Gear April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 What about our very own SQ? Do they have such a rule to "bump" people off when necessary? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count-Bracula Twincharged April 11, 2017 Author Share April 11, 2017 Pay more and someone will take up the offer. I'm sure if they give 10k, they will have to beat the volunteers to stop them from volunteering. By the way, why is it they only knew about their staff needing to travel at the last moment (when the passengers are already seated?) Could have arranged for the 4 staff to seat in the toilets, what's the problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 A passenger bleeding from the face is just bad PR. They should have tasered him until he got knocked out and then stretchered his unconscious body out and claim he fainted. This nice caring image of them helping a passenger will be great PR. I wonder how much they pay their head of PR, I am sure its too much. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 All these big companies they really need to pretend to care about their customers even though all they really care is their money. At least just pretend lah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 yes. in fact i believe all airlines have cnn article. Jetblue claims they don't overbook but of course they still have the clause to deny boarding. Could have arranged for the 4 staff to seat in the toilets, what's the problem? Cannot la.

Kusje Supersonic April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 erm... i thought that was what the Chicago PD said initially but after video showed that his head was slammed against the armrest rather an accident, they retracted the statement and in fact referred back to the aviation people... ?

Karu 6th Gear April 11, 2017 Share April 11, 2017 Really gone haywire. I'm sure there's some screw ups that led to this. Should have done so way before the passengers checked in. Once everyone boarded, how can you expect to get people to get off?? The decision to use force is also a bad one. Wonder who decides? Pilot or ground team? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
