physically ejected from a plane
 

On a recent trip I was physically ejected off
the plane by airline staff. I am interested in
people who had similar problems with the
airlines; what was done by them; and what
was resolved. I think it is a shame in this
day and age that consumers have to tolerate
this type of behavior by major corporations.

Never been ejected tho I did (in my daze of youth) have a UA first officer ask me to never fly the friendly skies again...

So what's the story here????

Curiosity is not limited to Cat(man)s...

You wouldn't happen to be from Manchester?

I made it sound worse than it is. They wanted
me off the plane for some reason that I do
not know at this time because they never gave
me a official reason yet. I told them that I
was not leaving and they attempted to remove
my bags. At which point I departed the plane.
They put me up in a hotel and I was on the next
plane out the next day.

Did you do anything on/to the cart?

Kyklin, I presume s/he was not invited to reboard. That was quite a tale, though.

Still haven't found out why?

What cart?

I haven't asked for a response yet because it happened so recently that I am weighing my options on how to proceed on this matter; that's why I am interested in how people in similar situations did.

I think we need more particulars before anyone can offer an opinion.

I was referring to the incident that was one of the first and most (in)famous incident of air rage/ejection/arrests, which involves an UA airline and a cart.

But in any case, please provide more information about your flight so we may better ascertain your situation.

Kyklin... I remember that story about "Cart-man" all too well, since I had to find a way with tact with class to write it when it happened and when Cart-man went to court.

*(And I don't mean the character from "South Park.")

Thank you for sparing us the details. Some people just have no class (no matter how much $$$ they ahve!)

MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!!!

You weren't on the 8:51am UA flight from SFO-SNA on Monday the 14th, were you? There was a gentleman phisically removed from that flight. I (1K) was bumped off too but thats because the checkin line at the gate was so bloody long.

Kyklin: I was wondering if that was the incident you were referring to. It gave me a good laugh to recall it. As I remember, when the incident came to court the man simply denied doing it. He said it didn't happen (is this true?)

Deny, deny deny.

Yes, I was referring to the incident where the businessman in the UA business class who did his business on a place where he had no business to be in...


In any case, I think the case settled out of court. Perhaps others can provide the detail?

I don't mean to make fun of your plight if it happened, chauming, but since no information were given, we can't really render an opinion.

Well, there's a joke here somewhere about that "gentleman" should actually get an award for improving on-board meal quality, but I won't go there as Baobab has already come down on me for my questionable poopy jokes.
