United Airlines Paid $10,000 For A Woman To Get Off The Plane, Yet She Was The One That Booked The Overbooked Seat.
Allison Preiss posted to her Twitter hoe she booked the last seat on United Airlines which made the flight overbooked due to a broken seat. A credit of $1000 was being offered to anyone that wanted to give up their seat. If no one wanted to give up their seat, then the lowest paid passenger would be booted of the plane,which was Preiss. In a nut shell, United gave her a $10,000 voucher for seat they didn’t have to sell her in the first place.

.@united offering $1K in travel credit for an oversold flight. If nobody bites, they will kick off the lowest fare passenger by pulling them out of the boarding line. For a flight that THEY oversold. Unreal.

They can’t board me on this plane because there is a broken seat.

.@united tried to get me to sign a document that says I volunteered my seat on this plane when I was involuntarily denied boarding. Sketchy af.

On the upside, I wasn’t physically dragged off the plane and my dog wasn’t killed on board, so I’ve got that going for me…which is nice.

They really do not want to give me cash. They just offered me $10,000 in travel credit. TEN THOUSAND.
