Intro
Have you ever been on an overbooked flight? Airlines give incentives for people to leave the plane, like money or a voucher. However, United Airlines had a scandal when they kicked off a doctor who did not want to leave the plane. A video of the incident went online, and many people were upset by the intense footage. Some people think airlines should not overbook their seats at all.
