For being The Resistance’s top pilot, Poe sure does go through a lot of X-Wings.

Dylan Roof walked into a church and calmy murdered nine people and when they picked him up they gave a him a kevlar vest and a meal from Macdonalds. This guy drove without a license and got dragged from his car and curb stomped because I guess one of those things is a big deal.

Meanwhile Chad and Becka are making six figures on the west coast, “legally,” through their dispensaries.

It’s so weird to me how cops just started doing stuff like this since cell phones with video cameras became so common place. You’d think they would have been up to these same shenanigans before, but the outcomes of so many internal investigations into such reports made it clear that witnesses and alleged victims were…

Manifolds are in a perpetual state of danger

Have you seen Point Break?

Tokyo Drift was the best FATF. Don’t @ me. You can comment though.

You act like Patrick is the boss of you or something. He’s probably just afraid you’re going to end up all Orlove-Kurtz on him or something. Anyway, you’re not ill, you’re touched in the head. Touched by Jeepus.

I believe in you David, and I want my voice to be one of many encouraging you to make the best worst…

Please tell me the new gear is all metal....

A Jeep so janky, scientists are still discovering new means of failure.

WTF? Nobody was offered $1,000 in the case of the United flight. They were offered $800, and then they called in the gestapo.

It’s not “entitlement” to say, “I paid your company for this product/service. My time and inconvenience are worth something to me. Your company has not yet offered compensation equal in value to my time and inconvenience.”

Those may be the rules, but the rules suck. If you as an airline are going to take the risk of overbooking flights for the extra cash, then you should prepare to pay what the customer demand. If it becomes too costly, then maybe that whole overbooking thing was as stupid as it sounded.

Their incentive is right here. They lost $800 million in value because they wouldn’t go past $800 for these people. The PR expense is tremendous on this.

Boarding is individual, you are boarded even if the plane hasn’t completed boarding. Once you are in your allocated seat you are boarded, that’s the case in pretty much every countries aviation rules, it’s a singular not group contractual activity. 

So why is it OK for United to have a temper tantrum and not the passenger?

Eh, shit happens...

I’m mad at the airline for having a policy that requires paying customers to give up what they paid for. Overbooking is a terrible anti-consumer policy and it needs to end.

Your linked article, like UA’s own contract mentioned “denying boarding”. Which they certainly have a right to do. They however did not deny him boarding. They allowed him to board, and then later wanted to remove him. Please highlight where in that article or in the UA Contract where it says they can remove a person…

Apples to oranges. You’re comparing restaurants with an airline.
