Why Delta Air Lines Paid Me $11,000 Not To Fly To Florida This Weekend

Remind not to help resuscitate you linbb when you next have a pulmonary embolism mid-flight.

David Dao is a doctor in Louisville. His four children are also doctors and his wife is a pediatrician. He suffered a broken nose, a concussion and lost his two front teeth. Due to the concussion, he does not even remember running back onto the plane (and how he got past security is another big fail by UA). Nobody should ever be treated this way. Period.

Even if he was lying about being a doctor, this was definitely not the right way to deal with the overbooked situation. As Ruger9X19 said, it's likely the author of this Delta article may have received better treatment, but Delta was offering passengers more and increasing levels of compensation to give up their seats voluntarily.

I think I'm going to be choosing other options over United for a while.

@linbb What did he do that's so wrong? How about UA booked a commercial flight for its employees or transport them in different modes? Was it wrong to refused when he has the same rights as the other pax? What type of fight were you speaking of...we all could see, he's a middle age standard build man, vs 3 big burly cops? Please explain.
Also, if I have a doctor that's willing to fly across the land to treat my dying family, I'll be eternally grateful...and there's still doctor that's dedicated and willing to do that.
