United CEO: I'm sorry. We will fix this. United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz issued an apology on Tuesday amid outrage over passenger Dr. David Dao of Kentucky being dragged off an overbooked flight.
The culprit, of course, was the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused travel demand to plummet, leaving United and other airlines scrambling to bring down their costs. United burned through about $25 million per day in the third quarter, but reported more than $19 billion in total liquidity as of Sept. 30.
United loses $250 million of its market value. Shares in United Airlines slipped by just over 1% Tuesday as the company scrambled to address a video showing a passenger being forcibly dragged off an overbooked flight.
Dao from the flight -- has filed a lawsuit against United Airlines, Chicago Aviation Commissioner Ginger Evans, and the City of Chicago. But if he did do something wrong it was because the City of Chicago failed to properly train him."
After the United incident, other major airlines made similar pledges. In hearings on Capitol Hill, airline executives said they would stop overbooking flights, and major carriers including American and Delta increased the compensation for passengers who are bumped from their flights.
Yes, it is legal to overbook flights according to federal law. However, there are rules about how to compensate a passenger if they are bumped from a flight because it was oversold and there were not enough seats for every passenger who showed up.
Dao reached an “amicable settlement” with the airline for the injuries he received as result of the April 9 incident, which is attorney said included two lost teeth, a broken nose and a "significant" concussion.
Other Reasons You May Be Removed From a FlightAn airline can refuse to transport a passenger for the reasons listed in its contract of carriage, a legal agreement between the passenger and airline, so long as the refusal is not discriminatory, such as: Being intoxicated or under the influence of illegal drugs.
Suing an airline isn't that simpleBut taking an airline to court isn't easy. Because the federal government regulates airlines, cases like Stevens' would have to be brought in a federal court. Passengers can sue their airline in small claims court, but there's a limit on the damages they can collect.
