Passenger KO'd then dragged from plane in barbaric country

[Lord of the Fraud]

This guy must be a known face amongst many casino regs. I bet he's played a shit ton of live cash hands.


Be interesting hearing a little about the guy without all the media spin bullshit. Not that it makes much (if any) difference to how he was treated.

[Lord of the Fraud]

Oh here we go. We're going to start dredging up this guys past so we can trash him

This was always going to happen. Story too huge for it not to happen. Is why hearing from poker players who have no angle should be beneficial to the guy.

Dr. David Dao was charged in 2005 with 98 felony drug counts for illegally prescribing and trafficking painkillers. Prosecutors claimed Dao fraudulently filled prescriptions for hydocodone, Oxycontin and Percocet.
Dr. Dao was also convicted on 6 felony counts of obtaining drugs by fraud and deceit and in 2005 was given 5 years probation.
Dao was also convicted for writing prescriptions and checks to a patient in exchange for sex.
In medical board documents ... Dao denied paying for sex, but indicated he accepted sexual favors from an associate in exchange for reducing a debt that associate owed him.

In February, 2005, Dr. Dao surrendered his license to practice medicine in Kentucky. In 2015 the medical board lifted the suspension and allowed him to practice medicine with some restrictions. Last year, the medical board imposed even more restrictions -- now he can only practice internal medicine in an outpatient facility one day a week.
Interestingly, and relevant to the United incident, one doctor assessing Dao's case said he had interpersonal problems, noting "... he would unilaterally choose to do his own thing."

Has absolutely no bearing on how he was treated.

First came the very public non-apology, as that could screw them in court.

Now its all out attack. Total character assassination. As we speak dozens of people are making calls, knocking on doors and speaking to old foes.

The guy is obviously a bit of a degenerate (like most of us here) and they're going to make him look 50x worse than he actually is.

Unless the guy has stuck it in a child's ass, then i'm rooting for him the whole way, regardless of what these vultures dig up.


Hope this approach makes it worse overall for UA and they go up in flames.

For example, many people have pointed out that United might have avoided the entire fiasco by simply offering the passengers more money to leave the plane. By law, airlines are required to offer compensation—up to four-times the value of the ticket, or $1,350—before booting customers from the flight. But a free market solution would require the airlines to raise the compensation offer indefinitely until somebody accepted the offer. It’s a simple matter of fairness: If airlines are legally permitted to make false promises—and to overbook a flight is, essentially, to promise a service that cannot be fulfilled—they ought to pay market price to compensate people for the unfulfilled promise. Instead, airlines are permitted to practice a kind of bizarro capitalism, in which they can overbook with impunity and throw people off the plane after they reject an arbitrary fee.

Domestic airlines are now enjoying record profits, having flown more passengers each year since 2010. This is in part because the airline industry is sheltered from both antitrust regulation and litigation. Four carriers—United, Delta, American, and Southwest—earn more than $20 billion in profits annually and own 80 percent of seats on domestic flights. Along with cable companies, airlines are the top-of-mind paragon for industries that seem to get worse for consumers as they become more heavily concentrated. Indeed, when fuel prices fell last year, as The Atlantic’s Joe Pinsker (who edited this story and who has a relative who works at United) has written, airlines spent the savings on stock buybacks rather than pass them to consumers.

Meanwhile, if customers are shocked by the fine print of United’s contract of carriage, what recourse do they have against the company? Very little. In the last decade, class-action lawsuits have become endangered thanks to a series of Supreme Court rulings that have undercut consumer rights. Disputes over fine-print regulation are increasingly likely to be settled in arbitration, without a judge or jury, where the deck is stacked against the individual plaintiff and the decisions are practically impossible to appeal.

[Lord of the Fraud]

At this stage isn't a sizeable settlement the least of their problems after the huge 'worldwide' public backlash?


The more dirt they dig, the larger the public anger becomes.


UA need to hit the brakes, provide a sacrificial lamb, then pay the man his money. And do it all showing plenty of remorse.

By not taking the bloody nose, they're surely putting the whole company at risk.


Besides, Dr All-in is getting paid one way or the other.

You consider a doctor charged with 98 felony counts of illegally prescribing drugs, trafficking drugs, losing his medical license for ten years, trading sex for debts/drugs, probation for 5 years, etc "a bit of a degenerate" ?



No wonder he was so set on seeing his patients, considering it was the one day of the week he's allowed to practice medicine.

Well, yeah.


Very fancy write-up of charges. But he sold a few painkillers and got his cock gobbled for a few Xanax w/e.

Who fucking cares.

Zero relevance to his abhorrent mistreatment.

So at this point where did IDKjesus go? So many words from him yet so wrong. The Ferguson avatar he deserving not. As far as this doc's record, what a shock he seemed so sane lol

You're a drooling mongoloid who would fail every life test there is.


I doubt you could walk half a mile without a turd slipping outa your cucked anus.

[JohnCommode]

A number of aspects are concerning regardless of the legality of bumping:

1) I have little problem with bumping prior to boarding even if I don't like it.

2) Once people are boarded you need to raise the level of the offer to whatever it takes to get the job done.

3) My understanding is that it was like a 4 1/2 hour drive and the crew could have been taken by limo, uber or cab. Employees should be inconvenienced before boarded paying passengers. They could have chartered a small plane.

4) Most posters will probably neither agree nor understand this, but there is no way a senior citizen should be chosen to be removed even in a random process. There are certain rights and exemptions that come with advanced age and this needs to be one of the them. Pulling a 69 year old off is disgraceful.

5) There is an opening for an opportunistic airline to announce that, in spite of the legality, we will never do an involuntary bumping of a boarded passenger whatever the cost to us. The good will created by this kind of statement would be more valuable than any advertising campaign.

Just watching CNBC now and Gordon Bethune echoes your statements that, indeed, belligerent Asians are a distinct threat to America.

[Sanlmar]

Apparently JBLU never overbooks. Maybe they bump if they must substitute a smaller plane.

Some airlines are worse and some are better. Great opportunity to put your boot on the neck of your competition.

If Caesars ran an airline it would be called United.... and Druff would have a UA miles credit card.

If he invited the good Dr on the fraud show he & khalwat would discuss blow jobs

I do have life outside of the site not to mention I'm still sick with this infection I've been fighting home on IV Antibiotics hardcore through marajuana day 4/20 and feeling like crap more often then not. As for the arguement on going there is obviously some discrepancy between what is posted in some locations vs others as to what is allowed and not by arrogant airline companies. If nothing else I hope people vote with their wallets and seriously reconsider United as an option and hit them hard. Also maybe with enough outrage maybe the idiots in DC will pass a passenger bill of rights to stop this bullshit from ever happening again.
