Dragged passenger settles suit
DR DAVID Dao, the man brutally dragged off a US flight earlier this month, has received a settlement from United Airlines. Dr Dao’s lawyers announced the settlement but said the amount of money received would “remain confidential”. It had been expected to be millions of dollars. Dr Dao was on his way home to Louisville from Chicago when ordered off the plane to make room for staff. The settlement announcement came a day after United said it would overhaul its overbooking policy, including offering as much as $13,000 to passengers who got bumped off flights.
