    The WSOP's website claims he has pocketed $234,664 in winnings over his time on the felt.

    Nice catch! Small world!

    This thread is the exact opposite of most threads. It started out totally off topic and has now become on topic...

Police are not supposed to intervene in civil disputes, only in criminal cases. United, by declaring a "trespass" situation made the civil dispute into a potential issue for the police to get involved in.
    I wondered why the primary assailant was in civilian clothes. I didn't know he was a United employee. But if this is correct, who is the officer who got suspended?

    One of the three Chicago Department of Aviation officers who dragged Dao has been placed on leave pending an investigation.

    Not sure but I thought the United security officer was the one got suspended. He might be just airport security.

    Some of the stuff coming out on the internet over this incident, the parodies, the memes, are hilarious! There are at several more than the one posted. Flying just isn't what it used to be years ago. I used to enjoy flying and now I avoid it if I can drive it instead.

    Pretty sure the guy yelling and running to the back of the plane raised some serious questions about his mental stability. They ask you to leave, argue for a little bit, but when the cops say they will physically remove you if you don't leave......you grab your shit and leave! Pretty sure from this point forward, people will get off the plane when asked by police.

    United screwed this up horribly at every opportunity, and they will pay a price. But, do you want to be on a flight with someone that refuses to follow instructions, right or wrong? There have been too many incidents of flyers going nutso in the middle of flights.

    Of course not. The passenger was wrong for not leaving the plane. But since 9/11, airlines have abused security concerns to treat passengers pretty much like trash.

    United CEO first said Dr. David Dao is violent. Then there is a passenger in the same flight making a Youtube video saying Dr. Dao is very polite and told the agent that his wife can get off the plane but he has patients to see the next morning so he doesn't want to leave the plane and question the random selection. That passenger said he is willing to testify for Dr. Dao. So United Airlines withdrew the statement that Dr. Dao is violent. This tells you that big corporations always lie first.

    "Deadheading" is positive space travel on company business. The employees didn't "want" to do it.

    What you're thinking of is "non-revenue travel" in which an employee may take a flight on a space available basis.

    Nobody realizes that this stuff happens every single day in the airline world. Employees often travel on a must ride basis in order to keep the overall airline network churning smoothly. Without these kinds of positive space operations there is potential for hundreds of passengers to be inconvenienced due to cancelled flights.

    Positive space employees on company business are (the vast majority of the time) priority over even a revenue customer. This is a normal occurrence and hasn't been an issue until just now.

    The CEO was asked on ABC if the passenger did any thing wrong and he said "No". So, he went from blaming the passenger for the whole thing to condoning resisting police orders.
