If you asked someone to leave your property and place of business what would you do? You would call the police and if the person didn't comply they would drag their arse off. I have never understood why people seem to think planes are public property.
We can question the wisdom of overbooking, though airlines struggle with survival and all of the crybaby masses aren't interested in saving them when they go out of business. People get bumped all the time and this individual just though he was more important than everyone else.
This is the dumbest bullshite I've ever read. The customer entered into a contract to have a seat on the plane in return for paying money to the airline. The airline, in efforts to optimize their flights, overbooked the flight. While this is a commonplace procedure, these frickers CHOSE to use the procedure on a flight that they were using to transport THEIR OWN PEOPLE. ANY self made person knows the customer ALWAYS goes first because they are the people putting food on your table and a roof over your head. Furthermore, any time I have ever been on a flight that was over booked they took care of this shite before people got on the plane. They went about every step of this process in the dumbest way possible and I hope that dude takes them to the matt.

United was trying to make room for four employees of a partner airline, meaning four people had to get off the flight to Louisville.
Absolutely unbelievable.
United.

This keeps getting said, but it's really not what happened.
No seats were being taken to give to other customers. None were turned away because others had bought tickets.
Horrible PR move. But I agree with the above post. "you ain't telling me what to do" struck again and the consequences ensued. People should understand what the contracts they enter say. Private companies aren't public institutions. You can be denied service under certain situations and this was one of them.

When aircraft are delayed the crew meant to fly can end up outside of crew rest. Or if a plane is stuck in Florida that was supposed to be in Louisville suddenly there is nobody there to fly the plane that has a bunch of people on it because they are stuck in Florida. I don't know the specifics of what happened here but is that one guy's convenience worthe the cascading impacts of not having crew's in the right place?

You are just as stupid. The airline partner's employees had to be in Louisville for a flight of their own. As dude said above. The airline reserves the right to remove anyone from a plane. Just because you bought a ticket doesn't guarantee your flight. The doctor handled it just as wrong as the airline did. If you are asked to leave a plane YOU LEAVE THE PLANE. You can take it up with the airline's office at that point.
