UA should be able to sue passengers for this kind of thing, with the proceeds then being split with the other people that got affected. ExpertFlyer says this was an E170 (although it also says it only landed 48 minutes late at MCI?), so that’s 70 passengers per flight, and that frame easily could have been scheduled for 5 or 6 hops later that day. 300+ people may have been inconvenienced due to one guy’s temper tantrum.
