United Airlines and the passenger violent removed from a Chicago flight have reached a settlement for an undisclosed sum, as the company seeks to limit the fallout from the incident that sparked outrage earlier this month.<br /><br /> Video of Dr David Dao being dragged down the aisle of the United flight, which had been overbooked, triggered public outcry over United’s treatment of passengers.<br /><br /> United also said that it would offer passengers who give up their seats 10,000 dollars, reduce overbooking and no longer call on police officers to remove passengers from their flights.<br /><br /> “I think that it may seem like an over-reaction now but United has shareholders that they’re responsible for and they need to repair their image.” – said Steve Pease, United Airlines passenger.<br /><br /> “It’s almost an absurd amount of money – said Christina Park, another United Airlines passenger. – It’s almost like you kind of hope you are bumped! (Laughs).”<br /><br /> United Airlines also took out a full page advert in the Washington Post to apologise for the violent removal of the doctor, hoping to turn the page on its latest PR disaster.<br />
