Whoever organised this f*** up needs to be out of a job. they offered $800 vouchers and a hotel, pretty fair, hotel offers are rare Airline culture has a a clear issue, and especially United's, but airline culture in general right now is down right scary, it's almost like if passengers were considered the enemy. not really The fact that overbooking flights on purpose is part of their business model is very fucked up. But that's the least of the issues. Flight attendants and other airline personnel have so much power it's not even funny. I'v read so many stories where a passenger pisses off a flight attendant so she simply calls the cops on some poor soul who ends roughed up, humilliated and kicked off the plane. Do you remember that United story where a girl was kicked off the plane for wearing yoga pants? was completely fair I also read a story where some italian professor teaching at an Ivy League was solving equations before take off, and a MAGA-type flirted with him and he wasn't receptive, so he "clearly" must be up to no good, and "that weird language" (mathematical equations) must be some middle eastern evil language so.... she proceeded to call the flight attendants on him, who called the cops on him, who kicked him off the flight and held him up as a suspect for hours. yeah that was fucked up Now turns out you can buy you plane seat, have a flight not be oversold, and if some employee wants to give a ride to a co-worker or a buddy or something they can totally kick you off the plane and call the cops on you and have them bloody up your face, it's terrifying. At this point ordering extra sugar on one's coffee might put that person in Gitmo. yeah thats not true at all, airlines will always have a paying passenger on a plane over an employee if its not work related and especially over an employees "buddies" they are dead last priority and are stand by in the first place, this was a deadheading united flight crew, only reason they were given priority, even a commuting flight crew wouldn't have been given any sort of priority Lowly flight attendants and airline personnel are becoming judge, jury and executioner, it's insane. shut the fuck up --- i have no sig <cite>Nubcake13 posted [p:876912745] in Man physic...
