So, what am I missing here? They dragged a passenger off a flight to get a flight crew on the plane, right?

Why not drive the flight crew from Chicago to Louisville, what would that take 6 hours? Geez, guy gonna get paid a lot, and he should.

Absolutely stupid of the airline.

Old guys think alike, that was my first thought!

It is about 300 miles by car (slightly farther than LEX to NASH) and airports have rental cars in airport. You are looking at 4.5 hour trip. Pay some low end employee to rent a car and drive both ways. Less than 100 bucks for car and another 100 bucks for driver.

Bill from asian doctors lawyers is going to be way more than 200 bucks and the bad PR alone will cost millions.




As secondary note, UPS has their major hub in Louisville and they fly jump seat guys all the time for the airlines. Pretty sure they could have put all 4 service people on UPS plane that night.
