*banghead*When asked why the airline had the man forcibly removed, and whether that was standard procedure in cases of overbooked flights, United refused to comment.
Instead they told BuzzFeed News all further questions should be referred to Chicago Police. BuzzFeed News contacted Chicago Police and were told to contact the Chicago Department of Aviation. When BuzzFeed News contacted the Chicago Department of Aviation they were transferred to a TSA message bank. A TSA spokesperson later told BuzzFeed News they were not involved and to contact Chicago Police.
Imagine they 'force' you to get off when you purchased your ticket and have travel plans! Anyway the way the cops handled that situation.... well I see a beautifully compensated law suit coming up.
Calling the police on a passenger with a paid ticket because the airline screwed up, or don't have a system setup to avoid a situation like this is ridiculous. I'm surprised that an airline would not keep a couple of seats reserved for transporting their own crew and sell it "last minute" to people on standby if they don't have anyone to take the seats.
Funny story.
True story:
My poker buddies go to Vegas every February (wrong month for me) and this year two of them - brothers - were asked to be put on a later flight because of overbooking. They were compensated 800US$ each. They of course agreed.
The "package" to go to Vegas was 500CDN$ including the flights back and forth and 5 nights at the hotel.
They basically financed their trip for next year so they said that now, since they got paid to go gambling - they are professional gamblers.
We all died.

I'm wondering what happens to your luggage if you accept to give up your seat? Do they remove it from the plane or does it stay and you have to hope it will still be at the destination when you get there the next day?
