Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 11, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2017 Was it the captain's decision or the airline staff. Either way, even if it was the captain's decision would he still not have to have justification to avoid comeback. Much like the police: wrongful arrest, malicious prosecution etc. The damage to the airline however is being done by social media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madthatter Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The captain must have jurisdiction on his plane I don't have a problem there; more in that the Cap, airline or even the tea lady for that matter could potentially throw off a paying customer, whose sat in his seat doin nowt wrong, as he refused to leave because the airline in question have dropped a bollock/ been greedy bastards. Delete as appropriate I think you got that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted April 11, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2017 He acted like a dick but the whole fiasco was caused by United Airlines and security being cunts. They should have upped the offer to get one more off before kicking someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I don't see the relevance of what the bloke has done in the past to what happened on that flight. I would wager all of us have skeletons in the cupboard (and at least 95% of us have blackmailed folk for gay sex) that the tabloids would use if we found ourselves in a similar situation. If not they would go for guilt by association and you would be described as being a member of an internet message board whose members live in garages and have sex with Kermit the Frog dolls or inject Brasso whilst watching the 10 minute free view bit on the Adult Channel.

Spot on. Who hasn't done that ???? Joking aside this has no relevance whatsoever to him being dragged off a flight he had paid for for no wrong doing other than being a bit fierce when he was removed.

Aye but therein lies the power of the press. Now he'll be seen by many as the gay weirdo who had that plane thing once. The real issue will get forgotten about.

Well I wouldn't refuse it It's more that the inhumane treatment or, imo, breach of his human rights will get forgotten about and the airlines will carry on with this daft practice. Although I doubt they'll be so heavy handed in future. Bullying shit like this really winds me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled Girl Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 United airlines staff are fucking obnoxious in my personal experience so I wouldn't have given my place on the plane for them either. Correct. And their staff seem to be totally unaware of the 100ml cabin baggage ruling (or think it doesn't apply to them) & have to empty their water bottles, make up containers, shampoo bottles etc., causing anyone behind them to be held up. EVERY FUCKING TIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hope so. Still diverts negative attention away from them and diffuses things, if only a little. I'm no finance mon but I'd wager their shares will get back up eventually. Their shares were already back up. They were 4% down before the market opened, but back to only 1% down by the end of trading. Thing is, most airlines were down 1% on that day anyway. Most people absolutely won't give a shit about this, and will still fly United anyway. The vocal minority might boycott it, but they probably only fly once a year for holidays. Truth is, not many people care who their airline is, they just book the cheapest/best time flight they find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that faux outrage by social media users cannot bring a billion dollar company to its knees? You seem very flippant - don't you realise that sharing a video on Facebook/Twitter with a sincere message of righteous indignation will have executives throwing themselves from the 35th floor boardroom? What a fucking time to be alive. fuckin booooooooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 12, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2017 In this case I'd say a level of outrage is justified. Not that much will happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
