What will you do??

If you book a domestic flight, get boarded and then an announcement is made that the airlines need some volunteers to offboard due to overbooking, will you do it volunteerily?

Ofcourse if you know by now, this question is in the context of yesterday’s incident when United Airlines called for a similar request, but then when none of the passengers volunteered, they dragged one of the passengers by force out of the plane.

And since then there is a huge outrage and outcry against UA for this incident, who hasn’t apologized yet.

By (possible) coincidence, that passenger was asian race so there is a discrimination card in play as well.

Re: What will you do??

As much as I love to travel I get air sick, meaning I just close my eyes and try to sleep the whole plane ride. Can’t eat or sleep or talk to anyone.

So I’d definetely volunteer!

Re: What will you do??

I don’t understand how the airline didn’t know the plane was overbooked minutes before take off. :confused:
I heard airlines usually keep a few seats unbooked. Time is valuable, I would demand some compensation if I were put in this position.

omg I just saw the video…that’s horrendous…never flying with them.

Re: What will you do??

I doubt if anybody is trolled in a day as much as UA is, over the internet today.

Overbooking airline seats is very normal.

Re: What will you do??

yes…overbooking has been happening since the start of air travel.
the UA incident was a huge blunder in more ways than one…

Re: What will you do??
