Argh! Don’t look at related stories: “You can barely get an abortion in Ohio, But Beastiality Is Still Legal”

Yeah calling someone a pensioner is in no way offensive.

I just made uncomfortable eye contact with my dogs-it’s like they knew what I was reading about

“Is This What Parties Are Like Now?”

HOLD ON: In what state is bestiality “technically legal?” Whaaat. No. That needs to be fixed.

Those rules do not apply once the passenger is on the plane. Rule 21 Refusal to Transport applies once passengers are seated.

Overbooking is not “out of the airline’s control”.

How’s that corporatist micropeen taste?

He was NOT “bumped”, there was NO overbooking; he was dragged off the plane, bleeding and screaming, so a United employe could have his seat.

Yes, except that putting the flight crew on the deadhead was not “necessary” to comply with government regulations. UA did so in order to comply with regulations regarding rest AND to make sure that the subsequent flight wasn’t canceled or delayed; UA could also have complied with regulations and taken the hit on the…

Because according to corporate lawyers, corporations are never wrong.

The conditions for legally removing a seated passenger are clear. “Federal regulations for our flight crew” is not one of them.

It’s Trump’s country now. They are testing the waters to see what they can get away with and imitating their spiritual master, the giant Cheeto. Make no mistake, this is a test. If customers don’t punish United, and punish it hard, these kinds of abuses will being happening more and more.

What’s going to be interesting is watching them try to use that clause in court and fail utterly, because their claim that they removed him for being unruly is putting the cart in front of the horse—the only reason he was unruly is because they were trying to remove him illegally in the first place.

Hi. Fuck you. He paid for a ticket and had a good reason to refuse to be volunteered to be bumped. They can pick someone else. Or no one. Go suck a Trumpmicropeen.

That’s the best part about all of this. Every communication from United is reviewed by multiple people and this is the best they could come up with. I think they share the same PR firm as the NFL

Then why do they use the term “voluntary”?

The main thing is he wants to send a message of support to his employees. He wants to make sure that they continue to think it is OK to beat the crap out of someone who does not want to accept their lowball offers.

I guess you just misunderstood United’s official definition of “belligerent” which is “sitting in your seat with a tear in your eye while saying you just want to go home”.

That outfit has a hint of “Amish gangster” to it.
