United Airlines is reeling after damaging footage of a doctor being forcibly removed from his seat traversed the Internet on Monday.
Social media, including many celebrities, tore a strip off the company in what is becoming an absolute public relations nightmare.
Particularly after the United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz issued a statement that referred to dragging the passenger down an aisle and violently removing him as “accommodating.”
This response by .@united CEO sounds like a teenager response to an insult. “I’m gonna re-accomodate your face with my fist” pic.twitter.com/lBtBGqDKZQ

The response was brutal.

Jet Blue’s new slogan – extra leg room and we won’t physically drag you down the aisle screaming in pain.

Some mocked the incident by trying to come up with “movie lines” for United.
When historians write about the #UnitedMovieLines hashtag — and they will — let it be remembered I started it.
