Maybe she was afraid of being beaten up and dragged off of the plane by cops and winding up with her child given over to the tender hands of CPS until the mess all got straightened out, and figured that keeping quiet, holding onto her kid, and giving United hell once she got to where she was going was a safer bet.

So has United always been bad and these stories are just the most recent line in a long series or did it become poo poo recently?

A lot of it is poo poo that almost every airline has been getting up to, but the whole "Knocking out a paying customer because he didn't want to be kicked off a plane for no reason" thing has inspired a whole lot of scrutiny into airlines loving everyone over and every turn. Though you'd think that at a certain point, United or its employees would start being a lot more careful when it comes to customer service when they know that every misstep is going to end up recorded and made into news.

People have always done stupid poo poo, be it crackers up clackers, coins in groins or beating up customers. Everyone can film it and distribute it to the masses these days. So the world sees it before you get a chance to shut it down. None of this is exceptionally new, it is exceptionally visible though.

People have always been evil assholes, social media just makes it harder to pretend it doesn't exist.

yes, because the guy paid for his seat and they only wanted to kick him off for reasons that had nothing to do with his behaviour why do people feel the need to defend massive businesses? they don't need defending

That's not the case with united, who acted horribly with that passenger, but there's an echo chamber in the thread about how big companies are always evil, and defending them means you're some kind of shill. It's pathetic college level leftist crap

Your argument makes no sense. If someone is right, be it an individual or a company, you should say so. The class warfare resentment your spouting is ridiculous.

Slime posted:except they were wrong I said united was absolutely in the wrong. That's not the point I'm answering to. TB ''s whole meltdown before had to do with "OMG someone defending companies" as if that's inherently reprehensible. You should defend whoever is right. In the assaulted passenger, united was in the wrong; in other occasions, they're in the right.

Anyone defending corporations is probably the same type of rear end in a top hat who says "eh, they donated 100k to Susan G Koman can't be all bad amirite?"

http://www.travelpulse.com/news/airlines/united-destroys-40k-custom-wheelchair.html edit : The airline subsequently offered the use of an alternative chair, one that was not at all suited to Duthion’s condition. What’s more, United reportedly told the group they had to use the alternate wheelchair or else sign a waiver declaring that they had refused the airline’s “help.” Yeah, united is trash.

It's impressive the lengths to which they went in destroying this chair. It appears they made sure to strip off literally all the mechanical and electronic components, leaving only the most vulgar mockery of its original state. It's not just an accident, it's an aggressively deliberate political statement, a work of abstract art. steinrokkan has a new favorite as of 22:44 on Jul 9, 2017 |

How do people in this thread keep falling for "actually, corporations are...good!" posts? It's like fishing in the world's dumbest pond. Also, why do people keep making those posts in the first place? Like, there's no particular craft or comedy to baiting in this thread. My 9-year-old cousin could start a four-page United derail in here.

Crying "troll!" every time you see an rear end in a top hat doesn't make you look smart, it makes you look hysterical.

Seriously, I keep being surprised to find the Stupid/Appalling Airline Behavior thread in my bookmarks list. This thread either needs to be renamed or have the topic split off to its own. I'd start it myself if I had any desire to read PYF S/AAB.
