The United flight was bound for Louisville out of O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. The reason the passenger was removed was because flight 3411 was overbooked, United said in a statement released Monday. It added that the passenger “refused” to get off of the plane after being asked to voluntarily do so.
United CEO Oscar Munoz also released a statement Monday saying that the incident is “upsetting.” He added that the airline will investigate and review the incident.

The Chicago Department of Aviation said in a statement that the incident on board the plane “was not in accordance” with the standards of the group. The officer who removed the man from the plane has been placed on leave, it said in its statement.

According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, passengers at the gate before the flight were told that it was overbooked. United offered a $400 credit and a hotel stay if passengers would re-book and fly to Louisville on Monday afternoon. Crews allowed the plane to be boarded until it was at capacity.
A United staff member reportedly got onto the plane and told passengers that four people had to give their seats up to United employees that required to be in Louisville on Monday. Nobody volunteered to do it, so staff randomly selected passengers.
The first two were a couple, who got off the plan without incident.
The next was the man, who said he would be unable to get off the plane because of a commitment in Louisville in the morning, reports say.
According to Twitter user JayseDavid, the man, who is said to be a doctor, had his face “slammed” against an arm rest, which caused the blood to flow from his mouth. He added that it appeared as if the man was “knocked out” because his body suddenly went limp. After about 10 minutes, the man ran back onto the plane looking disoriented with his face bloodied. Passengers say he clung to an object in the back of the plane, screaming “I need to go home” before he was removed once again.
The flight was delayed around two hours before it finally took off for Louisville.

It would have been nice if the gentlemen just exited the plane when asked in the first place. That said it would of been nice if the airline had been more diplomatic in their interaction with the guy and reasoned the guy off the plane by stating one simple fact, “This plane doesn’t leave the tarmac until you leave the plane”. I’m sure after enough fellow passengers overhearing that statement and realizing they go nowhere as long as this person stays on the plane would then have dramatically encourage the guy to just exit the plane with verbal complaints of their own on his uncooperativeness.
