I neither live nor love politics so much.

BTW, one of our too many community churches had one of those huge vinyl
signs or billboards up on its building, proclaiming:

"Easter is the answer to all your questions."

I thought about that for the 30 seconds I was waiting for the traffic
light to change, and concluded that people who believe that sort of
nonsense are nucking futs.

Another local church, which is paid by the state to let its large rear
parking lot be used by those taking the commuter bus downtown has a sign
you drive under that proclaims "We've been waiting for you."

Religion seems to be getting...creepier.

Several a day, and I may spend up to 30 seconds on each. I'm awake at

Yeah, you're right. You did make one anti-corporate post today, and many of your posts are anti-religion or just juvenile name calling.

*Most* of your posts are nothing more than petty insults and juvenile

You're in no position through education or experience to judge the
writing ability of others. Your long, seemingly endless posts usually
are little more than nonsensical libertarian screeds or near-lunatic
reinterpretations of history.

I rarely brag about my writing skills. I am capable, however, of writing
*to* an audience and, based upon what I have read here over the years,
my conclusion is that writing at no higher than a grammar school level
is appropriate. Hell's bells, most posters here cannot follow a simple
sentence, and that includes you.

United handled that wrong but the guy got dragged off the airplane for
violating a federal law (not following the orders of a flight crew
member). The man was a moron.
OTOH the airline was wrong by not just upping the offer until 4 people

It's not unusual to get bumped from a flight. It happens all the time, and across all airlines. United kept increasing the compensation offer to the passengers, but didn't get the volunteers needed.

Where things went sideways is when the passenger got belligerent and the (non-United) security guys overreacted.

The CEO certainly could have handled it better. He's learning a lesson the hard way.

Usually the "bumping" is done in the terminal, before the plane is

He is a moron for fighting with the cops and the air crew. You fight
with gate agents who have the power to sweeten the deal.

Whenever possible, we fly on planes operated by European Union airlines.
More passenger rights.

The rights all depends on where you are, not the airline you are on. I
agree some are better than others but it also depends on how much you
are willing to spend on your ticket.

And what makes you think the airline lobbyists are *my* K Street

I forgot, you only like union lobbyists but those cops and the airline
employees are all union members.

They started at $400, then $800. There are some reports that say they offered $1000.

Now there's a new video out taken by a woman in the row behind the passenger. It reveals that he was not cooperative with police, and pretty much brought it on himself.

The cop then says: 'Well… I have to drag you... You know how this is going to end up happening, right?'
Dao then replies: 'You can drag me, I'm not going. I'm staying right here. You'll have to drag me.'
The cop then says, 'I'm just telling you, it's going to be a lot harder for you...', before Dao interrupts with: 'Yes I know that, I'd rather go to jail.'
'You'd rather go to jail than just getting off,' the cop replies, while sounded confused at the comment.
'Yes,' Dao is heard saying.

Getting bumped sucks, but this guy was looking for a fight.

Typically they re-book you on a later flight, and the voucher is good for travel at a later date.

You might get a chuckle out of this.

I agree this was handled poorly and it was all the airline's fault. I
haven't really poked into it but it would be interesting to find out
the back story on why this was an emergency crew move.
I am sure they decided ****ing off 4 passengers was preferable to
****ing off 200 in Louisville. I have sat in an airport waiting for an
air crew myself. They got a standing ovation when they jogged up to
the gate.
I didn't complain to anyone at the airport but I did open an incident
with the airline on my laptop and that 2 hour delay in my trip got us
10,000 airline miles each.

I was hoping someone here would start a pro-corporate post extolling the

United handled that wrong but the guy got dragged off the airplane for
violating a federal law (not following the orders of a flight crew
member). The man was a moron.
OTOH the airline was wrong by not just upping the offer until 4 people
bit. I blame your K street lobbyist friends who got the original
passenger bill of rights law changed so they only had to offer $800 in
vouchers. (4x the cost of the ticket total for the cattle car
passengers they bumped)
You notice, they don't usually bump first class passengers.


The man was a moron? Really? For refusing to give up a seat for no good
reason so that United could fly a crew to another city...with the help
of a bunch of jackbooted thugs?

He is a moron for fighting with the cops and the air crew. You fight
with gate agents who have the power to sweeten the deal.

Whenever possible, we fly on planes operated by European Union airlines.
More passenger rights.

The rights all depends on where you are, not the airline you are on. I
agree some are better than others but it also depends on how much you
are willing to spend on your ticket.

And what makes you think the airline lobbyists are *my* K Street
lobbyist friends? You really need to cut back on those 'shrooms.

I forgot, you only like union lobbyists but those cops and the airline
employees are all union members.


You've looked in their wallets for membership cards, eh?

I don't have to the unions do.
Illinois is not a right to work state. If there were scabs at United
or the airport police, there would be picket lines around the airport
and nobody would be making their flights.

Politically speaking, right is wrong.


Harry Is that why you live and love politics so much?

I neither live nor love politics so much.

BTW, one of our too many community churches had one of those huge vinyl
signs or billboards up on its building, proclaiming:

"Easter is the answer to all your questions."

I thought about that for the 30 seconds I was waiting for the traffic
light to change, and concluded that people who believe that sort of
nonsense are nucking futs.

Another local church, which is paid by the state to let its large rear
parking lot be used by those taking the commuter bus downtown has a sign
you drive under that proclaims "We've been waiting for you."

Religion seems to be getting...creepier.




Those pesky churches offend Harry.



There you go again. I'm not offended. I simply believe those churches
are...weird. I drive by another church twice a day most days, and its
signboard urges people to pray for peace, donate food and used clothing
to the needy, and volunteer to help those who need it. We've put
clothing into its collection shed at least a half dozen times.

I believe liberals pushing bisexuality on kids is creepy. Doesn't seem to stop the FPLs from doing
it.

You constantly brag about your writing abilities here in notes that
look like they were written by a 10 year old.
Real "writers" do not have an off switch on their writing skill.


You're in no position through education or experience to judge the
writing ability of others. Your long, seemingly endless posts usually
are little more than nonsensical libertarian screeds or near-lunatic
reinterpretations of history.

I rarely brag about my writing skills. I am capable, however, of writing
*to* an audience and, based upon what I have read here over the years,
my conclusion is that writing at no higher than a grammar school level
is appropriate. Hell's bells, most posters here cannot follow a simple
sentence, and that includes you.

Anyone who reads is in a position to make a judgment of writing skills. Yours suck. Brag all you
will.

Of course I do. I was raised in a union household and surrounded by
Teamsters for the first 18 years of my life.
A scab is a non union person brought in by management to replace a
union worker (usually in a strike). Since all jobs at ORD are union,
the only person who could be working there without a union card for
that specific job would be a scab.
In Chicago the electricians union even demanded that we have IBEW guys
standing around drinking coffee, on the clock, when we moved a few
machines around at the education center. We would not actually let
them touch our cables because they kept ****ing them up but they still
got paid for it.

You are incorrect. The ORD airport police are unionized, as are the United Airline workers. This whole fiasco is a union screw-up.

Not all jobs at ORD are unionized and the workers who are not unionized

Management is probably the only non union people. There may be a few fast
