Re: United Airlines...
It means they weren't just employees out for a free ride ,but a crew being repositioned to operate another flight on confirmed seats as opposed to standby.
Travel on any US airline on any day of the week and you will see that airlines and other airlines crew 'deadheading' as it's called to get to where they need to be for a flight .
Not defending anyone or anything here by the way , just pointing out some facts.

Re: United Airlines...
And as I believe the flight they were operating was the next day United could have put those four employees on a four-hour train ride for a fraction of what it would have cost them in volunteer compensation, or hired a minibus with a driver. Chicago-Louisville is like London-Glasgow; it's not travelling from the east coast to the west coast.

It all depends whether they had to beat it up first to remove it from the aircraft.

It seems that no one flying United these days is a happy bunny.
Re: United Airlines...
United's skill at damaging items has been something of a trope from as far back as 2009: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Breaks_Guitars With this in mind I think it is fair to assume that people will continue to report any incident in which United might have been responsible for, say, a dead pet or a broken golf bat.
From what I've seen on Twitter and Reddit, where a discussion was trending for a while asking US members to detail their negative United experiences en masse, it seems that United has a bad reputation in general. The tin-eared response to the initial incident that sparked this thread, further bolstered when historic information was dredged up on Dr David Dao in a bid to smear his reputation as a perverse form of damage control, seems to be more 'typical United' in the eyes of many US citizens rather than an unusual outlier. The general consensus appears to be that budget operators in the US are horrible, especially in the eyes of those who remember the good old days of walking onto a domestic US flight with your gun holstered, and being promptly brought a cigar and glass of Scotch!
