So, Wayne, when a pig like you lies down alone in **** and then gets up,
how bad do you smell?

If you really want to know how pig **** smells, hold your hand up to your nose.

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

I neither live nor love politics so much.

Yet you make nothing but political posts here. Several a day.

You are in deep denial.


Several a day, and I may spend up to 30 seconds on each. I'm awake at
least 16 hours a day, so obviously the time I spend here making
political posts is of no consequence.

Oh, and your premise - make nothing but political posts - is wrong.

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.

I stand corrected. You post nothing but asshole remarks designed to
get attention.

:)



I was hoping someone here would start a pro-corporate post extolling the
virtues of dragging someone who paid for his ticket off a plane so the
corporation could fly a crew to another city.

Why would you do that?
What makes you think non-progressive liberals would automatically side
with corporate United Airlines? He's a jerk and he now realizes it's
going to be very costly to his airline and stockholders.





Yikes! I better use shorter sentences and words.


I think you better check your sheepskin. Your degree in English has
expired.

Sometimes I am tempted to call Harry out on his education, jobs and why
he seems to feel they make him so special and superior.

But I won't.

You'd be the expert on that Harree, that and ad hominem attacks. You
should really get some help for that illness of yours.

Like you, I am more of a "generalist". Many things interest me.
Precision writing isn't one of them.

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.



I think United did many things wrong and they will pay the price,
deservingly so.

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
boarded. I certainly hope there is a huge lawsuit and settlement.


I agree with you. (gasp) Back when I did a lot of flying I can only
remember one time when a request was made to give up a seat for some
kind of compensation *after* all the passengers were seated. I remember
many times the request being made in the terminal before boarding.

It's up to the airlines to properly manage their business. I can
understand occasional over-booking but forcing a paying customer to give
up a seat to make room for employees of the airline is wrong.
I don't care what the fine print in the ticket agreement says and I
suspect neither will a judge if he sues.

Not exactly true. They offered up to $800 in various vouchers that
made the passenger responsible for finding their way to louisville
within that price, take it or leave it.

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.

citizen which is a felony.
