On a separate note, and as is unfortunately predictable, Dr. Dao gave his first interview today, saying he "is not doing well" and--when asked what parts of his body are injured--he replied "Everything". Here comes the multi-zillion dollar lawsuit to reward him for his boorish and outlandish behavior, trumped only by United's boorish and outlandish behavior. There is no sympathetic figure in this sorry, sordid affair.
Good .. he is going for the MEGA-MILLIONS lawsuit ... that means United most likely will not roll over and just settle to the Dao & Company's liking. United might offer a decent settlement, but the good doctor and his lawyers are seeking BLOOD. And as such, the legal process will be SLOW with opportunity for the airline to disprove some/most/all of his permanent injury claims.
Of course, the end result is United files for Bankruptcy protection. I hope Dao or his lawyer has a place to land & park a commerical plane.
