They could also have just paid for those employees to take a competitors airline if it was vital for them to be there immediately despite their poor planning.

Does that mean, the employees took the liberty to kick the customer out? If so, I would think that they either didn't thought anyone to disobey and especially not to end up this violently. Still, this would speak volumes upon United's management.

Yes they didn't even oversell they wanted 4 employees to fly at the last minute and wanted to remove paying customers to make room for them.

Can you imagine going to home depot and someone pulling drills out of your hands and giving them to employees?
