He will definitely get money out of them. Not for him being refused a seat, but because they man handled him. Hell, he could probably argue for pain and suffering since it was there for the world to see as a result of their practice. I'm guessing if he sued United would just settle. --- I find myself identifying strongly with Hitler - Blighboy <cite>Smarkil posted [p:876935633] in united air...
