Honestly, if I had been on that plane and saw him not wanting to get off that bad, I would've offered to get off the plane in his place

Have you heard that he had his license suspended for molesting patients? Not a good doctor.

This has nothing to do with my statement. Lol

Cargo holds are pressurised like the rest of the plane. If the hold isn't heated then the drop in temperature could cause the strings to...

United Airlines got into a hefty amount of trouble after beating up a doctor after trying to get him off one of their planes.
mormacil
United wanted to make space, after no volunteers told a man to get off, he refused as he was a doctor with patients. Security beat him then.
MyFetishIsLyingOnTheInternet
Didn't really beat him up right? Didn't they just forcibly try to remove him and he hit is head on the armrest in the struggle?

professionalWolfologist
$800 is not that much compared to the inconvenience of missing work, family and having to check into a hotel, rearrange travel, etc.
Ozymander
Glorfied IOUS worth of 800. Once they bump you involuntarily you can take a literal check, not vouchers.
uKHorror
Also legally the compensation payout in America for this kind of thing would be $1300 so taking 800 would be useless plus 800 in vouchers

Isn't the minimum offer 1.300 ?

Not when you have patients.
LarvaLamp

BimmerFarm
It's $800 in credit that can only be used on United, and only in one transaction (ie, $300 ticket and its gone). UA's been trash forever.
RaddRadda
Most people who are flying are doing it for important reasons. Might take more than 800 smackeroons.
outdoorsman
Especially if it's in worthless vouchers. If I'm flying somewhere on my dime it's farther than 10 hours driving. I don't fly much.
EvanJames
well it wasn't like $800 and then another ticket free... it was solely $800 for the ticket from what I gather
kcgingerbeard
They usually give you $800 worth of vouchers, hotel if you have to stay overnight, and food vouchers then put you on the next flight
BobarinoTheBobcat
Well now the 4 people who were involuntary taken off get 4x their money back or a law suit.
Davkro
The doctor shouldn't take any money now, so nothing can be used against him in court
RWebb00000
i would totally bargain with them. "800 cash, hotel, 2 food vouchers and 1st class tomorrow. confirmed, not on upgrade list.
CookingBaconDrunkAndNaked
yeah, they'd totally go for that when the option is there for them to just give you what they want and force you off the plane.
RackhamTheRed
that would just put you on top of the "people to be removed first" list i guess

By law, they have to give you cash if you ask for it. They just hope customers aren't smart enough to ask
izamemario
When a flight got cancelled and I asked for cash instead WestJet offered me a lower amount for cash than I was getting for vouchers...
jimmyriba
They have to pay you 2x ticket price for short delays (i think up to 2h), and 4x if bumping you delays your arrival more. But capd by $1350.
ErinFromTheOffice
*if they force you off, you can demand cash. If you volunteer, you get vouchers.

To be fair, UA lowballed him with worthless 800 dollar vouchers when he legally should have been offered 1350 dollars.
SnookerSylph
1350 is the legal MAXIMUM

No, it's the maximum they can be *forced by law* to give you (in real money, btw). There is no maximum for how much they *can* give you.
