I don't have a problem with the fees. Why should I pay the same fare as the person going on vacation that has two bags in the baggage compartment, one in the overhead bin, and backpack under the seat in front of them when I am taking a day business trip and all I have is my backpack. Why should I pay for beverages I am not going to drink or food I am not going to eat. I think charging for everything except the bag in the overhead bin and under the seat in front of you is fine. It's called a la carte pricing. I am not paying more because I am not consumer of all those other things.

Airlines fly hundreds of millions of miles every year. You have an "air rage" incident only a couple to times a year and the airlines just ban the bad guy and sometimes charge them for the cost of the divert. If the FAA is going to take action, it won't be because of this.

If the FAA takes action, airlines will raise rates. Then everybody is going to be bitching about the cost of airfare.

I don't see the problem here. It'e their airline and they should get to run it they way "they" (read shareholders/owners) want to run it. If you don't like it, fly with a different airline. There's a huge market for people who don't care about comfort if it means they can travel cheap. That's what spawned Spirit, Allegiant, etc. If there was actually a market for planes with larger seats and more seat pitch, there would be an airline filling that need. There used to be one - Midway Airlines I think it was. All business class seats. Flew mostly around the Midwest. No longer around because the business model doesn't work. There's a small market for this and airlines are trying to fill it. That's why you see more and more flights seats at the front of economy class with extra legroom. Let's be honest. Most of the complainers want the cheapest fares and the comfort.

Deadly force is not authorized just for climbing the fence at a military installation unless you see a sign that says "Deadly Force is Authorized". Now if you get on the base and you head over to a secure area, you're going to see the sign and if you enter that area you might get to take the eternal dirt nap.

United does that too. The problem this time was these "must fly" employees were late arrivers because of some other problems. United only bumps 9 out of every 10,000 passengers. This is a lot of effort to solve a problem that doesn't really exist. If we get a bunch of government regulations as a result, the already bad flying experiencing is just going to get worse. Be careful what you wish for.

Actually, by federal law they were required to bump passengers because they are required by law to minimize the cancellations and delays. These four employees were "must fly" to meet this requirement.
