Are we ok with the content of the Breitbart story? If so, then there are more important things to worry about. If not, let’s focus on that instead of the source. Not everything can be a calamity.

Not just you. His being allowed to practice even just one day a week reminds me of the medical version of “the thin blue line” (the thin white line?). His sheer medical incompetence and inability to improve much at all in that regard was outlined over and over and over again in the .pdf I read about his legal issues,…

It might be good or mediocre, but it’s what some people wanted.

Since his past convictions are for running pill mills, it seems like a benefit that he didn’t get to see his patients the following day.

Only thing wrong with me is throwing far too-subtle shade for you burners to catch.

I use google docs, it is a terrible goddamn service in comparison.

Because my documents do look better in Word than in Google Docs. And, oh, I’m a lawyer so I don’t want my documents from my clients and for my clients on the cloud.

So they can perpetually operate at a loss like Amtrak? Thus being subsidized even further by tax payers? Most of the Amtrak routes that lose money don’t serve a unique public good. They are glory projects for local legislators. The people could be equally or better served with a bus.

I can’t remember which airline it was - I’m leaning towards it being American, as they were who usually did the first leg of my journey - but I was bumped off a flight to JFK from DC due to overbooking two days before Christmas several years back. Obviously at that time of year, everyone is desparate to get home on…

I can think of a million reasons that someone can’t be bumped off a flight to a later flight, but the truth is, literally everyone can. Do you know how I know? If the flight was cancelled or delayed due to weather, these people would sit back and accept their bad luck.

That would have been worse. If I had been selected after, I would have been outraged, “Who says the life I need to get back to is less important than his?! Just because he’s a doctor and has more money/prestige? Bullshit” Things happen, things get rescheduled, even for doctors.

This type of response only encourages more idiot to behave this way with companies. The passenger was wrong to stay on the plane after he was asked to leave. Now the company gets punished for and idiot passenger and violent airport security (who are not their employees). Great! This is why America is so F’d right…

He was treated at the hospital, but that was after he ran back on the plane and then retaken off. That I can confirm.

So just to be clear, you have video where the pilot, who by this document and directive is the agent of action, commanded the person to leave the plane? I haven’t seen that video yet. Can you link that to me?

You realize the thing you keep quoting refers to the conduct of flight crew members, not passengers right? I’m sure you realize that. No one could be dumb enough to copy paste something multiple times without reading it, right? Are you that dumb?

I am curious why this is United’s fault and all the backlash.

They were probably actually deadheading pilots to where they were needed, and trying to avoid having to cancel other flights.

They were Chicago PD from what I read....

I fly regularly for work, and whenever I’ve been bumped (voluntarily), it’s into the next flight. I’m more than happy to take a 3 hour delay for a free flight at a later date.

I don’t know about this. I feel like volunteering for a $400 voucher is better than sitting back and waiting for a 1% chance to get $1,200.
