I hope Dr Dao refuses all offers of a settlement with UA just to drag UA through the mud. We will all get the details, including the name of the gate agent, and hopefully the trial will be televised.
Besides just money, how about this as a judgment: an injunction against UA that IDB shall be 12 times the fare paid by the passenger, $5,000 minimum, for the next 12 months or 5 years or whatever. Getting an injunction won't force the other airlines to do that but by competitive pressure, like Delta, they will offer enough VDB to avoid IDB. Also, getting an injunction is much easier than getting the DOT to change the rules or getting Congress to pass a bill.
We also need to see the hired goons deposition and make sure the authorities cut the crap, because we are getting tired of police brutality.
