Fook United Airlines

No...it was a Dash-8. Big enough for us tater fed folks.



Mrs BG had to go back to Denver shortly after getting here to finish up some work-related stuff. She got to the airport at oh-dark-thirty...before TSA. Everyone was just waiting in the gate area, past the security checkpoint. The TSA guy finally got there and just had everyone walk back out behind the metal detector and walk back through. Kinda funny. It felt like being back in the 60s and going to the airport without all the hassle you have to go thru today. Oh...and everyone survived.

Violent Brawl Between Airline Passengers Caught on Video: 'I'll Kill You'
Remember the old days when people used to dress up for an airline trip...and didn't have to strip back down going through security? Our society is failing.

I couldn't find anything on "liveleak"...

Yeah, like I trust anything out of NBC anymore ... FWIW, the story about the girls being asked to put on appropriate clothing is fairly old now and NBC neglected to mention that the girls in question were traveling on an employee pass and were therefore subject to an employee dress code. They (like most of the media when it first came out) made it sound like United was acting as clothing police for their passengers -- instead of acknowledging that it is a policy designed to control the public signature of employee travel when traveling on United.

And if the flight attendant didn't tell her to return to her seat, then the pax would be suing UA because she bumped her head. If a pax has a medical condition that cannot be controlled for the duration of the flight such that the pax can comply with safety requirements, then perhaps public air travel is not for that pax.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If this pax got bounced around on the descent and landed on top another pax and caused injury, then the other pax would probably run to court, too.

Either way, it would've been on the news.
