Let's Boycott United Airlines

You seem really intent on lessening United's behavior and responsibility, by continually referring to past behavior of the Doctor.

Why is that? :dunno:

Just pointing out that he's not a very nice man, there are many others far more deserving of our sympathy. Saying that though, no one should be treated that way it is a very bad way to do business.

I am sure that he will make a fuckton of money off of this though.

"These rights include things like: compensation an airline may owe you in the case of flight disruption, lost or damaged baggage, overbookings, and more. All you have to do is know how to read the contract of carriage to see what could be owed to you.".

They offered $800 and a free flight to compensate. Right?

So when someone does not accept your offer are you allowed to forcefully take what you wanted anyway?

Priceline would work so much better that way.

yup. they did offer comps up to 400%. When you buy a ticket you accept the risk there is a chance you may be bumped. The guy did not get the fuck off the plane and acted like a prole.

Everyday we are put in situations where you can choose to act noble, or as a dirty prole serf. If I was asked to leave the plane, I would have gone with my dignity, nose held high, classy and worthy of my title.

This "man" instead behaved like an animal. So they sent animal control in to drag him off like the prole he is.

Now, I will say, given most of the world is animals, the airline probably should have given everyone a few extra doggy treats to pacify them. And that's where the airline went wrong. Just from a PR perspective.

Of course, the faux libertarian says fuck the free market... let's get the government to fix the rich people's mistake.

You would have done what you are told because you are a coward.

Talk to people who fly a lot; United's reputation is not a good one.

Yes all planes overbook but they offer money/free flights etc when they get caught. United stopped yesterday when they should have kept going with their offer.

I am glad you are advocating the free market position on this. I even visited today because I expected the idiot grind to express his faux libertarianism by rejecting free markets.
 
United should not have boarded this plane until everyone was resolved.

Don't know this Dr but he obviously acted like an ass and brought this on himself.

Even if United was wrong he doesn't have the right to act like a petulant child.

This is what liberalism and social media have wrought. A grievance society combined with instant fame.

That is absurd. People should certainly expect to get what they paid for. What is petulant or childish about that?

United could have fixed this (at anytime) as civil adults do. If someone will not accept your offer then the adult response is raise your offer or go without. The petulant children resort to violence.

If I offer United $50 for a ticket and they say no, the state does not show up to force them to accept. I don't think Bernie or Warren would even suggest that but you want the state to do the reverse. Just like grind, you want socialism for the rich.

What a silly conclusion by a silly person.

Personally I would prefer the gobblement out of these affairs altogether.

I didn't say the man shouldn't be upset but he could have handled it better.

As I say. Liberalism combined with social media are a deadly cocktail.

United is the one that handled it badly. They could have offered more. It would have solved it easily. Instead they called on the government to fix their mistake.
 
ILA supports United because he knows that it is related to Rosa. She got arrested for refusing the order of a bus driver, remember. If the state is not there to enforce these things how will he resegregate? ILA loves big gobblement because he needs it to enforce his barnyard collectivism.

This ^^^ is what has become of liberals.
the answer to everything is boycott, protest, whine, kick your feet.
A once great party has become dependent on the support of liberals with the moral equivalent of a group of 7 year olds on the playground.

This bloody idiot believes in beating-up ticket holders because they won't give up what they paid for, eh? Even supporting capitalism can't keep the bean-brains from supporting fascist behaviour.

I mentioned on an earlier thread I got a really good deal from Japan for getting bumped. Happened a few times over the years. Just roll with the punches.

Kneel before the corporations. ^^ The conservative viewpoint. Add in a personal detail to support a fragile ego. The inferiority complex manifests.

I implied no such thing. I stated that no matter what United did he should have acted graciously and not created a scene.

To me he comes off looking poorly. That is not a defense of United.

Of course I can understand how shallow thinkers would believe that is what I intend to say

He comes off looking like a martyr to any sensible person, authoritarian.

The fact that you can't see the bottom of the toilet that represents your thought is not due to its depth.

It is what you implied. You've stated that he "brought it on himself." Your "even if United was wrong" implies you either do not agree or it is uncertain. It's not uncertain. Now you are saying "no matter" which is really pretty pathetic and makes it clear why you would bend over, little man.

So if a criminal says get out of your car, the "gracious" thing to do is comply? Is that what we are calling it now? Or does this only apply when the criminal is wealthy?
