Passenger Dragged Off Of U.S. Airlines Flight!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Basically contract of carriage denied boarding rules do not apply once the passengers have been seated .. then contract of carriage refusal to transport rules take over .. and for the SPECIFIC reason of overbooking the only legal way to remove the passenger was voluntary deboarding and use of the us air Marshall was illegal IN THESE SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES - the violence just compounded it
 
Air marshalls should be extremely aware of these rules

hello; You have a point here. however I do not think it was air marshals that removed the doctor from a plane. I believe it was police officers.

The couple in the wrong seats a few days later were approached by air marshal(s) and left without injury.

My guess being that air marshals being a specialized sort of law enforcement position mainly on airplanes, will have more specific training about such things.
 
This reminds me of when I worked at 7-11 almost 20 years ago. My favorite motto was I have the right to refuse service. But this didn't give me the right to randomly pick someone in line and tell them to leave the store and if they refused, I'd beat the crap out of them and drag them out. I would have been fired on the spot.

Hello; Just read this story. It seems the doctor was indeed instrumental in causing his own injuries. He apparently did struggle with the officers. It seems the main injuries happened when his struggles caused an officer to lose the grip the office had and the doctor struck his face on an armrest.

Looks like the officers did not beat the doctor after all. If the reports in the article are correct the doctor was behaving very strangely. He is said to be yelling something like kill me.

I am even more of the opinion that the doctor brought most, if not all, of the bad outcome upon himself.
