minus-squareEheran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up54·10 months agoThe Chicago Department of Aviation did that. The same way if the police ends up killing someone, it was not the person calling the police.
minus-squareCaptDust@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39·edit-210 months agoUnited was booting passengers to make room for employee transfers though, the situation was shit before dept of aviation even got the call.
minus-squareaeharding@vger.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·10 months ago 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.
minus-squaregravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·10 months agoThat’s not how FAA regs work. There is no such thing as standing room on a plane.
minus-squareEheran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 months agoSure, but telling someone to leave their plane for some oddball reason is “only bad” not outright crazy like what happened then.
minus-squareleftzerolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·10 months ago 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.
