At first they offered $400 for volunteers.<p>Then they offered $800 for volunteers.<p>Then when they still had no volunteers they randomly selected some people using (supposed) computerized random selection.<p>When one of those randomly selected people refused, they beat him, and dragged him bleeding, off the plane.<p>Apparently $800 was their limit. After the limit is reached they roll in the muscle and beat you up if you don't comply.<p>I smell a hilariously large payout for this poor guy sometime soon. This is a PR disaster for United.
