@WettCat you still in Brentwood? Any strong feelings about any of the downtownish neighborhoods in Nashville?
Back from Chicago. Wiped out. Ate and drank too much. Old.
Thankfully we avoided that mess.You doing Chicago this weekend was my first thought when I saw that video.
What a puss.
He got physically removed from his seat, screaming and crying, then his body went completely limp as he was dragged lifelessly by his arms down the aisle. :joy::joy:
I'd be a lot more pissed if he was actually man enough to put up a fight.
What's amazing about you is for all those hard back books your reading comprehension and retention is f*cking awful.:joy:
Must have been one hell of a weekend. 3 days ago, Super Dad Mr Maturity anth couldn't make the Masters work. Not enough vacation, too expensive, fatherly duties, etc. Today he checks in with a new story that he's got a chance to get the entire trip for free and is going next year.!
He was really determined to get to Louisville.
Passengers were told at the gate that the flight was overbooked and United, offering $400 and a hotel stay, was looking for one volunteer to take another flight to Louisville at 3 p.m. Monday. Passengers were allowed to board the flight, Bridges said, and once the flight was filled those on the plane were told that four people needed to give up their seats to stand-by United employees that needed to be in Louisville on Monday for a flight. Passengers were told that the flight would not take off until the United crew had seats, Bridges said, and the offer was increased to $800, but no one volunteered.
Then, she said, a manager came aboard the plane and said a computer would select four people to be taken off the flight. One couple was selected first and left the airplane, she said, before the man in the video was confronted.
Bridges said the man became "very upset" and said that he was a doctor who needed to see patients at a hospital in the morning. The manager told him that security would be called if he did not leave willingly, Bridges said, and the man said he was calling his lawyer. One security official came and spoke with him, and then another security officer came when he still refused. Then, she said, a third security official came on the plane and threw the passenger against the armrest before dragging him out of the plane.
According to KSR, the "real" story is that the flight was not actually overbooked. United had four employees who needed to get to Louisville and they first asked for volunteers to give up their seats for $800.
Nobody would, so United drew names. The man (doctor) said he had to get to Louisville because he had patients to see in the morning, but they drug him off anyway.
Someone who was on the plane called in to KSR and said that when the United employees boarded the plane, all the passengers were booing and berating them.
Really dumb of United.
The problem is, airline workers are usually the dregs of the general public, so they get even less of a pass<--Team United until I get the real story.
Some of you continue to give the general public way too much credit.
