"Thank you for making United San Francisco's hometown airline and the number one carrier in the region," he said at an annual luncheon hosted by the city's Travel Association.

The man appeared injured and a settlement was reached after the incident. Changes were also made at the airlines.
"After that terrible, unacceptable incident took place on one of our planes in April, San Francisco is one of the first places I can to visit and talk with both customers and employees," Munoz said.
