United Airlines Overbooks Flights - and Beats up a Paying Passenger

[illuminati]

The history is there already imo.  What has the Queen done in the last 60 years that anyone cares about?  I think people go to London to see Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster abbey, tower of London, Picadilly Circus, Buckingham Palace etc.  I don't know how much would change if they didn't have a current monarchy anymore.  I mean, I don't live there, so it doesn't  really matter to me or concern me.  Just an opinion.

And a good opinion.

He still had the same rights as everybody else on that plane.

nobody on that plane had the right to disregard authorities

It's a difference of perspective.

oh....  , tho many blacks would agree

It's not like crowds of people are heading to the UK for meet and greets with the royal family. They will become history plain and simple.

This thread has gone to utter shit.

bring back the funny

[bigkid]

Explain to him how it works.

He's citing an article that talks about a 1.4 billion dollar loss.  It's based on the lowest the stock went in "pre-market" trading.  UAL is down less then 1% from the day before the incident happened. Which is nothing, especially considering the overall market has been lower the last two days.  The fluctuation of market cap happens every day.  Apple, FB, any large companies' market cap can fluctuate billions of dollars every day.  It's not a loss.  They make the headline juicer by saying "United loses 500 million in value" instead of saying "United down 2% in trading"  So dummies see that and are like OMG OMG.  If united's revenue plummeted, that would be a big deal.  But that's not what has happened so far.

But there is a risk that it will plummet after this debacle no?

We will just have to follow it more closely the next few days.

There's risk in any investment.  The worst is probably over and it was basically a non-event stock price wise.

White jesus is intelligent, therefore appreciates appropriate aesthetics.

They should've just kept upping the price until someone volunteered. Shit, even if it was $10,000 in vouchers it would be negligible compared to this.

That's why I fly Delta, my United experience has always been soso. I have three kids and flew with them and my wife business class to Europe (que Calvin to make a remark about how I'm subtly mentioning money in a thread   ). My little one was under two, and even though I paid for his seat, he still sat on our laps. It was just easier once we were on the plane, and anyone with a kid would understand what I mean. Anyway, on the way back from France, the stewardess told me that he had to return to his seat. I'm say, "he's under two and there's another baby on the parents lap over there, plus I paid for his seat". She told me that they couldn't have an empty seat on the plane while there were people on standby. I told her that was fine, she could have the seat, but I wanted my $3,200 back that I paid for it. She told me that wasn't their policy. I asked if she was selling the seat to the person on standby, and she said yes, in a round about way. I told her that wasn't going to happen. They then had to get a manager to speak to us and when I explained again, that if they wanted the seat they would have to comp me for it, and she told me she had to speak with the pilot. About three minutes later when we started pushing back, I realized I had got my way. I've never had issues like that on Delta or Lufthansa but the two times I've flown United/Continental I've had a bad experience with their customer service.

The CEO decided, after probably his stock investors and PR firm told him how pathetic he was, to basically agree to everything that the public was saying.  Apologies, they were wrong, it will never happen again, and then went and blamed the first line supervisor on this. Really, then that person should be FIRED. Retrained.  Problem it isnt just the supervisior - it is also a lot of their staff that just don't care and are arrogant. That needs to stop.

By the way, the CEO knows it is going to cost them a ton of money.

You know, hopefully one day, the CEO will get a taste of his own medicine.

Let him go to a hotel, get into the room, and then let them knock at the door once he is settled in, and tell him they need the room for an employee, and kick him out forcefully. Total bullshit.

[bigkid]

The United stock price is now less then 1/2 a percent lower then it was before the incident.  Also know as big fucking deal.

LOL, imagine paying for a room, and going to bed for the night, getting woken up in the middle of the night and punched bloody by the staff before getting kicked out. lol
