Or just bump people (if they're going to) inn the terminal, before they get on the loving plane.

I'm not bothered by over booking and bumping for crew movement if it's in your ticket's T&Cs, but the count didn't change from the terminal to the jet bridge.

I'm sure they guy was bumped because he bought the most budget of budget tickets, pull him aside, give him the voucher and be done with it. Don't let him sit down for Christ's sake.

It's in your terms and conditions when you buy your ticket and is prioritized against people who paid the least. I'm aware of the reality that people never read that poo poo, but it's not some black magic.

That said, cops shouldn't be called to enforce crappy poo poo that hurts customers.

Hey, that logistical dispatcher (or algorithm) was trying to save the company probably around $300, being generous. We need to respect that, and mourn the fact that United will now lose an awful lot of business just because of cellphone cameras.

there was no point in them talking about it as much as they had at the time anyway. comey was pretty clear that the investigation was ongoing and would be ongoing for quite some time because the scope of it kept increasing.

there's zero reason to suspect that the national domestic police force is packing it in due to some foreign events. things are probably unfolding pretty much as they otherwise would.

In startling news, United bans cellphones on the tarmac because their operation can conflict with plane navigation.

My response to this right now: idk I haven't heard much about Trump being a sexual assault perpetrator or a old man who peeks at 15 year olds in changing rooms either, that's just how poo poo happens these days. And unless he also bombed the gently caress out the FBI and congress then I'd bet it'll come up again soon.

United is scum but probably not. There's an order to the bumping and it's based on ticket class and price and number of travelers.

Maybe there was a coin flip between two cheap tickets and you're right though, but unlikely.

This reeks of neutral policy badly implemented without any PR forethought.

the faa's official comment on the matter is "no they wont" and when asked for rebuttal a united spokesman screamed 'YES THEY WILL' into the phone before slamming the receiver down.

the big problem is that they let everyone sit down. these airlines have some leeway to screw people around up until boarding, but after you have boarded the plane it's an entirely different story.

I 100% agree. The time to bump him was before he got on the plane. That gate agent is probably getting fired and I hope these pictures stay in the news all week.

Any anti-corporate sentiment is good at this point. I just personally foresee this easily becoming a missed point where people bitch about bumping generally, rather than police acting as corporate enforcers.
