On one hand, this is super awesome. On the other, I truly wonder why this had to be spoiled on social media - Manu showing up out of the blue in the finale would have been an awesome surprise. Maybe they just didn't believe they could keep it secret.

Look…I didn't bother replying in more detail to you originally because you spouted out some nonsense about how it doesn't matter if you're a doctor or not as if I said jackshit about the guy being a doctor - which I didn't. But I cited the DOT because there are regulations which stipulate the minimum United has to pay…

Less than that when you consider that the DOT requires an airline pay four times the one way or $1350 to involuntary bump someone. United was always going to spend $800-1000 a person, dumb they dish the realize that.

And also…his character wasn't a main after the second season…

Read the passenger rights published by the Department of Transportation some time bud.

The simple answer to your question is because it increases their bottom-line.

I agree a lot of people don't know how the airline business works. That said, the job of the flight attendants boarding the plane is to proactively ensure that the plane departs on time. Part of that is dealing with oversold situations by:

The concept of overbooking is fine and makes sense. But in extreme situations like this, the consumer needs to be protected above the airline.

Where did you try to use the voucher exactly? Those vouchers typically work at every restaurant or bar in the airport.

United did not handle this situation correctly. Source: Experience from taking 500 segments over the last four years.

The article is also using the fact that Crichton's last movie was a letdown as a way to make fun of plans to adapt another one of his books, as if the movies have anything to do with each other. So my counter was there are plenty of good Crichton adaptations.

Someone really, really did not do their job here - likely the flight attendants working the flight. I fly every week for work and while I don't fly United, my assumption is they all operate similarly in oversell situations. It seems like the crew here didn't try to work proactively at all if they were waiting until…

Yea pretty much same thing I was thinking - BCS was basically two different shows in S2 so Gus can easily act to continue Mike's story while barely disturbing Jimmy's.

I don't understand why this article is acting like the only Crichton adaptation that exists is Timeline. Most of his work has been adapted in some way, some good, some bad.

What makes this kid's case so much more compelling than any other jabroney on the internet?

What if you never got to see a what if story I wonder? Well, let's see!

Did you post this same thing on IGN? I think so.

Maybe I misread your original post, I thought you were saying anything which isn't piled with gunk before consumption isn't a nacho. If not, my apologies.

Based on the title, I thought this article would be about a ridiculous lawsuit like the one where that woman sued because Drive didn't feature enough driving. But it actually seems like this guy has a legit case and likely WB will settle before all is said and done.

Eh, I like smoked gouda but only in small doses. Wouldn't be a fan of only having that on a grilled cheese.
