He might be dumb in your standard. But this time he was very smart.
1. He was able to get UA GA to confirm the IDB in a video, which is highly unlikely to happen. It is basically a guarantee for compensation. Regardless of routing, if this video lands on Oscar's desk, my bet is he will get the DOT maximum plus more.
2. Being confrontational is always a no-no, as this gives excuses for overpowered personnel to offload a pax legally.
