Final Report On UA 3411
(1) DR. Dao has settled with United AirlineS.
See a Washington Post report
here
. He and his lawyers are likely millions of dollars richer.
Regardless of whether we think the dragging of
Dr. Dao on US 3411 has a racial element or not, letting the matter settle in
this manner is most likely the more just and effective way in stopping UA from
committing the same mistake again. To protect ourselves in the U.S., you need to following an organization
like 80-20 in order to be effective.
(2) US
reported that its "
involuntary denied boarding (IDB)
process is automated and customers are not subject to discretionary choice by agents."
Initially, a young couple and the Don's were asked to leave. Later, a woman
volunteered to leave in place of Mrs. Dao. So the "3 out of 4 rejected were Asians" report was NOT accurate.
80-20 chooses to believe the UA report, because there are many disgruntled UA
employees in the incident. Had UA lied, the truth will leak out, and US will be completely ruined given that the terrible "dragging" incident is already much on
UA's back.
(3) UA upped the maximum amount to $10,000 to induce a custom with a
ticket to give up his/her seat. When the "dragging" occurred, UA 's maximum'
offer was only $800.
80-20 will no longer paid attention to this UA flight 3411 matter.
