I read this from several angles bc I was pretty skeptical at first and I can't see how UA is not at fault for this. Also do agree the aviation authority used excessive force but let's not deflect the blame like the CEO.

Fact 1: wasn't an overbook situation so UA's poor planning and failure to find an alternative solution led to this situation. Fact 2: UA contract of carriage no longer applies since he has boarded and was now being denied transport. No report on UA providing a written statement that he was being involuntary bumped based on DOT regulations.

My response "I am platinum on united. I dare them to drag my fatass off this plane"

First they came for economy, and I said nothing. Then I found out they'd already come for first class and I hadn't been paying attention...http://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-united-low-priority-passenger-20170412-story.html

Only idiots are boycotting. United did nothing wrong, other than their poor response to PR.

I've done plenty of research. Check out Cranky Flier's response, for one. I disagree with TPG completely. It was Chicago Aviation Authority that screwed up by getting violent.

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

Is bank interest riba?

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia. When the time to pay back a loan came, the lender would ask "would you pay or will you increase?" And that increase was usually doubling the loan. Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.
