    The Chicago Department of Aviation did that. The same way if the police ends up killing someone, it was not the person calling the police.

      United was booting passengers to make room for employee transfers though, the situation was shit before dept of aviation even got the call.

          If United couldn’t get anybody to bite at the vouchers, then the employees should have stood the whole flight.

          Yeah, that is not a solution. The FAA is salivating at the thought of this. Everyone must have a seat for takeoff and landing.

        Sure, but telling someone to leave their plane for some oddball reason is “only bad” not outright crazy like what happened then.

      it was not the person calling the police.

      At this point anyone calling the police in the US is a necessary accomplice, and guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, aggravated battery, and probably several other crimes.
