And if it doesn't rebound fast enough and high enough, the CEO may very well see the end of his tenure. |

Three of the Asian passengers left quietly. Maybe the selection priority should have been blacks, Mexicans, Asians. We could have seen some cops get punched and beaten before they pulled guns and started shooting everybody. After this Asian guy wins his lawsuit, United might as well paint black eyes on each cockpit window because this will never ever go away. It's going to haunt them like Pan Am Flight 103. |

Having the means to fly. The nerve of this guy anyway. How dare he? If he was an illegal alien or radical Muslim, United Airlines would already be hanging by the neck, hoisted by their own petard. |

Now United and the hateful left-wing racist mass media are going after this Vietnamese refugee / naturalized American citizen with a vengeance. They went and dug up dirt from 50 years ago in an effort to make him look bad to trivialize the abuse actions by Chicago police and United Airlines employees. Talk about two tools of the state. United and AT&T, both enemies of the American public. |

They do and did, but are not police, just "airport security" Chicago real Police are distancing themselves from this -- Petzl Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement.
