so, I've read this story about united airlines yesterday and I still can't wrap my head around the fact they beat up a paying customer who was already seated because they overbooked the plain and wanted 4 seats for their own employees who needed to fly the next day.

Yup, saw that too. And airlines tend to overbook flights quite a lot... but what I've seen happening in those situations is them asking some passengers to stay until the next day. But not when they're already in the plane.

But the way this situation went is not acceptable at all. Hopefully they will suffer some consequences.

So the employees, were they even working on that flight? I guess not? Ridiculous behavior...
