While at the same time:
- There is a passenger bleeding from his head, that has some seriouse medical issues now and needed to spend several days in the hospital. All because of his interaction with United and the people united brought into the situation.
Had the union said Something went wrong, this should not happen to one of our passengers and we are committed to collaborating with United management to ensure it never happens again most people would have responded differently.
Each group is simply trying to protect themselves.
