You get on the plane. many times the pilot says we re going to, in this case, tokyo. if you re not bound for tokyo, now is the time to get off the plane. if there wasn t anything nefarious which you say there wasn t, did he wander onto the wrong jet bridge? and i don t want to speculate. as you point out, not only does the pilot often say this is where we re headed but your boarding pass is scanned at the gate before you board the plane. there s that. so here s a couple things also kind of to put this in context. all nippon airlines also has a code share with united airlines. that airline can be listed. you can buy your ticket under united or you can buy it under al nippon. there was another code share with these two flights leaving at the same time from the same airport. could it be perhaps they went to the wrong gate? perhaps. i m speculating because the ....
Incorrect flight. they then notified the pilot. as part of the airline security procedure, they decided to return to the airport in los angeles. the airline is still trying to figure out exactly what went wrong here. we can note that united airlines and al nippon airlines have a partnership, a cancer-chair. perhaps that has something to do with it. but we don t have solid answers on what happened here. you can hear the collective groan. how do you get on the wrong flight? you are checked so many times. you scan your boarding pass before you get on as well. human error is always there. renee, thanks so much. coming up, russia is offering a mediator to the u.s. how generous. it s all pop-culture trivia, but it gets pretty intense. ....
Talk to the flight attendants themselves. they will tell you they are not getting enough rest. there are fewer of them on the plane. they are having to work that much harder because the planes are now full instead of half capacity. the passengers are coming onto the plane, they ve already been hit at the check-in counter with a fee. they ve gone through security which can be traumatic in itself and now they re getting on a flight that s full. chances are in a seat that s too small with too little leg room. it s pushing everybody up to the boiling point. for people who don t fly a lot, a lot of this is confusing, frankly. i see that a l. i have to tell you, i thought that,hen the first when the video came out of the united airlines, dr. dao being pulled off the plane, i thought, this is a golden opportunity, man, for congress. they have zero percent approval ratings. they could step in and say, here is what we re going to do. ride to the rescue. yamiche, any sign that there is any i ....
Says, okay, i have a confirmed reservation. if a plane only has 100 seats how do you sell 105 confirmed reservations. we d like to see the airline, once they ve filled the plane with confirmed reservations, everybody else should be standby. so people, when they buy a ticket, they know i have a confirmed reservation that really is a confirmed reservation. if they re buying a standby ticket, okay, i know there will be no-shows. i have a good chance of getting on the plane. if i don t. that s the breaks. you know, if you have a ticket and a seat, you ll be able to get on the plane. we have to go. are air marshals allowed to intervene in these situations? i saw the blows on the flight last night. the fairly diminutive flight attend looked like she was going to get into the middle of it. they re not trained to be ....
For all of us? congress too is learning about some of those rules. i think today you ll see some bipartisanship. they ll be happy to make the ceo of united airlines look bad and say we re here for the passengers. we re trying to protect you. whether they follow it up with legislation, less likely. bipartisanship happens in those moments in hearings, it s harder when you come up with what would such a bill actually say. there are things united airlines is doing. we can show you after the incident. up to $10,000 for passengers willing to take a later flight, limiting the use of police, and for safety and all these things. is that enough? is that going to quiet the concerns? there is more that they could do. what s on the top of your priority list as somebody who cares about passenger rights? well, right off the top, one of the things the airlines could do would be to change their method of overbooking flights. anybody, when they buy a ticket ....
