It's most likely because he is not white.

Here's a good one... lol United will be paying out a couple of millions because they couldn't figure out how to get their dipshit employees to Louisville. Get those ****wad employees a rental car and send them on their way to Louisville. |

The United Airlines CEO just released a statement announcing their new flight service to Africa.
"Now taking you to Africa. I hope you don't get AIDS. Just kidding - you're white!"

If only Rosa parks hadn't been such a pest and just followed a rule that made absolutely, positively no sense.

They reportedly did: An airline employee came on board and said United needed four people to get off, Mr. Bridges said, adding that the airline had by then increased its incentive to an $800 voucher. The airline later said that it offered up to $1,000 in compensation. |

According to jspchief, you are obligated to follow the rules even if the rule makes zero sense. Jspchief will have you believe this guy was breaking some kind of law. He wasn't.
It's not like he was a non paying customer. It's not like he was fighting back. It's not like he was breaking any law. He was sitting there and then was forcefully removed. No, I'm not going to look down on a man as some kind of stubborn rule breaker when it's been laid out multiple times all the ways united messed up. Including not offering the $1350 voucher before kicking people out against their will. It took one person to stand up to this ridiculous bs to expose a horrible airline practice that's been going on for years, and you want to discourage that behavior? |

Indeed. As I understand it - the employees needed to be in Louisville the next AM. Now, growing up in Louisville, I can tell you that it is about a 4 hour drive from Chicago to Louisville. Hell, send the employees in a van. Or, take one of the other flights leaving for Louisville. This is going to cost United (and rightfully so) millions of dollars in revenue and probably another million or two in the lawsuit that will most certainly follow. The hell of it? It could have been easily taken care of (as you pointed out). Honest to God - I would rather take an ass whipping than fly these days. |
