Fook United Airlines

[Bailey Guns]

Read the thread, saw the video clips, heard the weeping and gnashing of teeth. For a country built by rough men who sailed across high seas on leaky wooden ships we have sunk this low. What a bunch of whiny pussies.

1. No one forces anyone to fly.
2. Flying is NOT a right.
3. Last I checked private businesses still have rights.
4. Screw entitled scum bags.
5. We as a society are the most entitled, lazy, effeminate, whiny, complaining, mouth breathing bunch of ignoramus idjits this country has ever produced.
6. In [insert your favorite third world shit hole here] people walk barefoot for hours to get dirty water in 100 + degree heat to survive. Thousands of people are rounded up and killed because they said the wrong thing, or worshipped the wrong God. But in America the land of the free and the home of the brave we start sobbing because some entitled whiny fuck won't give up his seat. And books his stupid face on a stupid seat. Get over yourself.

End Rant.

LIKE. Big F'n LIKE...

You're right, flying is not a right. However you do have rights when you enter into a contract. Which is what you do when you buy a ticket on a flying machine.

You're argument is saying that one is an entitled pussy if they chose to fight for their rights of a contract. If you paid me to fix your roof by a certain time and i didn't, would you be an entitled pussy for wanting it when I said I would?
I just fail to see the connection for expecting what you are entitled to in a contract and that making you an "entitled, lazy, effeminate, whiny, complaining" person.

Because I should would hate to feel entitled...

C. No person will be entitled to transportation except upon presentation of a valid Ticket.

Oh that? That comes directly from the United Contract of Carriage.

Utter horseshit.
I'll be back later when I have the time to elaborate.

Oh that? That comes directly from the United Contract of Carriage.

The ticket he bought entitled him to have UA haul his butt from one place to another. Period.

It was not a guarantee that he would have THAT SPECIFIC SEAT on THAT SPECIFIC PLANE.

And if he had simply stayed off the plane after he had been removed, UA would have given him a ticket on another flight and sent him on his way: Since the SOLE obligation of UA was the get him to his destination, once he arrived, UA's part of the contract was fulfilled.

As someone who has been having to travel by air for work a lot these last couple of years (in fact, I just got in from Baltimore/Washington last night) I totally agree with everything in Scankers comment as well as the linked article.

Due to overbooking and other issues caused by the airline (ye, it was United) I was delayed a full day for a business trip and on the second day they were cancelling the flight. I had to get overseas to catch a flight that took over a month to coordinate and which were made only twice/week. My company built in a day and a half extra in case of problems. The second delay would have prevented my team from making the next flight. A lot of prodding and use of .gov authority got United to make other arrangements for us. It was a pain and shouldn't have come to that.

On the morning of our return flight to the states we were notified by United that our flight from Dallas to Colo Spr was cancelled. After being away for a month we were going to have to stay in Dallas overnight before we could get home. I used the hour I had to work with to get my company to rebook my return through American and was able to get home on time. Only 2 of us were able to do that, the rest had to keep their original flughts and stayed in Dallas at our companies expense.

On my recent trip, I flew into Baltimore/Washington airport where I was met by my boss (he was already out there). We then had to drive 3 hours to our destination which got us to our hotel @ 9pm. We had to meet the rest of our team at 0730 the next morning before we met up with others for significantly prior coordinated activities. A flight delay, particularly another full day delay, would have eliminated my being able to participate in what occured.

I can only think of 1 instance out of over a dozen where United didn't cancel or delay our flights. I prefer to fly American when I can these days. Even then, every flight I've taken these last couple of years has had full flights. Delays, overbooking, etc. only make the problem worse for passengers yet the airlines won't adjust or prepare for these events.

Now, for non-business "pleasure travel", if I spent $10k+ to take a week of vacation to take my family to Disney World and got delayed by a day then not only have I lost valuable vacation time but hard earned money to boot. While I know that the airlines have their standard disclaimers, when I enter into a contract with them for a price to provide a service at a certain time/place, once they accept my payment, so long as I live up to my end of the contract, they should be required to honor that contract - period.

Just my $.02 on the topic.
