What was the reason why 4 UAL employees needed seats on a full flight? It makes a difference.

they put 4 people that they claimed were employees on THAT plane that the dr got dragged off of...these 4 were booed and got death threats..I also read that they were the people that needed to go fix a plane..but who knows what the truth really is.

did you hear what united did to a 94 year old woman she was going to a family reunion (the flight out and reunion was lovely) she has really bad arthrisis and pain..she was bought a first class ticket and her relative had a ticket in economy....the relative asked if she could help the woman during the flight if necessary and tht was ok..

returning home and remember this is a 16 hour flight, they refused and made her sit in economy with her relative..she was in horrible pain and crying and her legs ballooned up..she was in pain for a full week afterwards. united came up with some kind of voucher amount which did not add up and it's been a couple of months and they still didn't get them, the latest they heard was it would take another 6 weeks.

it's not just the dr being dragged off and injured..first they lied that it was overbooking, 2nd the ceo releases that so called apology which showed no empathy and painted the dr as worse than what actually occurred. 3rd he sent an email to the employees saying they were right and did a great job.........

they did...first offered$400 voucher, no takers then $800 no takers then they did the random lotto picks the first 2 grudgingly gave up their seats..dr was #3

As I understand it they picked some-one at random.
!. Why didn't they just ask for volunteers with compensation for moving?
But more importantly 2. Why did they choose some-one half way up the plane? Why not choose the first 4 seat at the front?

Thank you.

Since writing that post I have caught up with the story a little but to write an OP without a single source is pretty lame. We don't all watch msm and we're not all psychic so thank you for informing me where the OP failed.
