Thank you. That up there was a thinly veiled defense of airlines practices. In reality, they will pay bottom dollar to kick people regularly, and fight tooth and nail to give anything more. Overbooking is not a necessity, as a previous article here shows not all airlines NEED to engage in this practice to stay afloat.

And that’s why they get the negotiated split of the vast majority of other revenue streams.

I’m not entirely sure why relocation fees should be included in the split to be shared with players. Is there something I’m missing? It’s a transfer from one owner/ownership group to the other owners for the right to move territories.

The comments over on Gizmodo are depressing AF. To paraphrase, the elderly doctor deserved it, should not have raised his voice, should have just used his “cell phone to re-book patients from his hotel room,” and that this whole incident has been entirely blown out of proportion.

What exactly are the costs of these “no-shows” that you say are brutal to flights? Is it how the airlines still get paid without having the actual passengers? Is the reduced weight they would have making the fuel costs cheaper? Is it the less passengers to have to serve on the flight?

Your rights were basically forfeit the second you purchased the ticket. Passengers agree to being bumped (with compensation) whether they read the fine print or not. Dude probably should have read the fine print. The police shouldn’t have body slammed him.

They didn’t ‘over-book’ the flight - they needed to get their own employees to the destination so they had to displace paying, seated passengers. Not a good look.

Wide feet here too. I haven’t set foot (har har) in a shoe store for ages since many don’t stock wide sizes. The Internet has been a godsend in that regard, but even some manufacturer’s “wide” sizes aren’t enough (New Balance, for me).

in their defense, anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that they spend a great deal of their time screwing in light bulbs, which would invariably lead to less time for education.

Roland Capers sounds like the name of a college point guard...
