Might as well start actually using that much vaunted American ~cyber arsenal~, and mess up critical power plants around Moscow/St. Petersburg during the winter. When asked about responsibility, just give the same "aww shucks, what a mystery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"-response the Russians have been giving.

Trump is a serious businessman who gets results and knows how to make a deal. He's working when he goes out on the golf course. Checkmate lib-tard.

Sorry for the non-ww3/loltrump chat I went back a couple pages didn't see this. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Huntington-Beach-family-booted-Delta-flight-421258184.html Thanks to the United incident this poo poo is going to be commonplace. Except the latter will likely be in the wrong trying to cop a settlement. I'm sure airlines are gearing up for it, I just feel bad for all the people that are going to miss their connecting flight

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Sorry for the non-ww3/loltrump chat So in this incident, the whole thing about not transferring seats to a person other than the named one on the ticket for a variety of reasons but there really should be some discretion on the part of the airline for a goddamn toddler. Also, it is definitely not the role of loving flight attendants to threaten someone with jail like that. Whatever, in a few days we'll find out that the dude has two unpaid parking tickets and got an MIP when he was 19, so someone will defend this.

From what I understand their other kid took an earlier flight and a ticketing agent apparently told them it was fine for the infant to use his seat, presumably before they needed it. Yeah, that's on the airline In the end it was just a verbal confirmation, and no airline let's you transfer tickets unless you buy the really expensive transferable one that you can cancel etc. Families aren't really an exception Idk it's a bit of a mess but could have just put the kid on the lap and sought compensation after ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What possible downside is there to letting a toddler use a seat that the family already paid for anyway? Speaks to bad management as well, if airline employees expected their bosses to have their back if they colored outside the lines to accommodate customers these incidents would probably be less common. A lot of the reports after the United incident noted a culture of abiding by documented policy to a fault.

A lot of the reports after the United incident noted a culture of abiding by documented policy to a fault. I heard a piece on NPR about how flight attendants and basically every employee of an airline that isn't the pilot have been getting pretty much turbo hosed as far as hiring, wages and too many hours since the 2008 crash. Apparently airlines were still in recovery mode from 9/11, then they got hit with that and to keep the lights on they had to cut everything they could to the bone for years. Well now gas prices have taken a nose dive, air travel is back up and profits are up but they haven't done poo poo to reverse what they did to their labor force because, "screw that, it works right now and why pay them anything more?" So now the airlines are basically getting what they pay for with attendants that have morale somewhere between Taco Bell night shift employee and Wal-Mart shelf stocker. Accordingly, they give no fucks about treating passengers with the false smile that comes with customer-service or doing anything other than exactly what is required by the book to keep their job.

Every airline is equally bad, what competition will their clientele move to? Checkmate! Capitolism at its finest? Free hand of the market! TRUMP!

Employees are told to stick to the rules and the company line no matter what, no exceptions, or you're fired, and when a confrontation like this goes public the employee ends up fired for doing what they were told to do under threat of being fired if they didn't. Worker's rights don't exist in this country.

The entire business model of Virgin America was "we'll charge maybe 20-50 extra per ticket for an experience where people are treated like valuable customers instead of cattle" and it didn't work out. People would literally let themselves be stacked on top of each other if it saved them $20 for a four hour flight.

Pretty much this, My wife will fly Frontier or skyblue even though they will happily nickle and dime you to death. I think flying would get better if they did away with loyalty programs tbh. I don't think people realize how much BS they will gloss over when they can just get comped double miles. Treat the business customers like the once a year traveler and I guarantee the quality will get better. FWIW, I like Southwest ok, but I live near a major hub, and mostly just have to fly hub to hub, they seem to be alright for that.

It's almost as if markets, despite being composed of our choices, can have results we don't want, especially after gutting customer and labor protections.

However Branson couldn't own more than like 20% of the company due to being a dirty foreigner trying to take American jobs and couldn't run it entirely like he wanted or keep control of the company. So airline consolidation continues further and there's no reason to offer a better experience because there's no competition.

Anything that's not a US company is awesome due to actual competition. United had business class seats that I couldn't recline in as my shoulders wouldn't fit and it felt like they were trying to fill it up tighter than economy. Wow Air, despite being a budget airline, has an awesome economy class that's much cheaper and much better than anything in the US.
