United Airlines… A Disaster… of Decision Making
This past week we were treated to an amazing and horrible story about the bloodied 69 year-old United passenger who was dragged off his flight with a broken nose, concussion and broken teeth – all because he had been “bumped” by the airline at the last minute because United wanted to fly four crewmembers to another city.

In these times, I find it interesting to look at the DECISIONS made by everyone and identify what each person or company could have done differently.
