The past few days have been really ugly for United Airlines after a passenger was dragged, screaming and bloodied, off a plane at the Chicago International Airport on Sunday after he refused to give up his seat voluntarily. The flight was on its way to Louisville, Kentucky.
After misbehaving with the passenger off the flight, the shocking news traveled on the web and the airline was terribly bashed on various social media networks calling the airline ‘inhumane’! Competitor companies could not be left behind and decided to cash-in on the fiasco by United Airlines. It seems like our very own Pakistan International Airlines also took a jibe at United.
Here’s the PIA post that is going viral on social media
