If I had to choose between might=right, conventionlist, or organizational ethics I would have to pick organizational ethics. Someone had made the decision that the company would be better of having one man be distraught than having an entire plane full of people distraught that their flight was canceled because the airline couldn't get a full crew in on time. So in the name of the company, they had security take this man so that the flight crew could be seated and United wouldn't have to deal with a plane full of unhappy customers on the other flight. I guess forcibly removing someone in the name of the company probably didn't ring any alarms with anyone working for United that was on that plane. I guess all of the United staff members on that plane must have forgotten about the golden rule or something. You could also tie in conventionalist ethics with the whole its not you, its just business type mentality as well. Ends Justify the means could also tie in with the whole I need to get this flight crew to this airport for this other flight and this is going to happen no matter what I have to do, even if I have to forcibly remove this person with airport security. However, when it comes to making that decision to call airport security, I feel that this is organizational ethics. That person made the call in the name of the company for the betterment of the company just like how the Patriots in the name of themselves winning the game committed to the whole deflate-gate scandal.
