United CEO Offers Statement On Removal Of Passenger On United Express Flight 3411

He rightly assumed that leaving this to his PR Department would have amounted to cruel and unusual punishment of PR people. It seems no one was willing to accept the vouchers and inducements offered on full flight. The poor medical doctor who had purchased a ticket and was already seated drew the short straw and was removed. His claims of patients to see, etc didn't seem to carry enough weight.
