What's new

Get off our plane! Now!

In summary, OL is a dumbass who can't do a simple google search about airline profit margins and no clue of how things operate in the real world. Things aren't going to be ideal, or fair. Get over it.
 
Airfares are actually one of the only things i can think of that has actually got significantly cheaper in the last 20 odd years. Hell i can book a return flight to the US next week for 1200 bucks. (bout 850-900 USD) used to be around 2200-2500.

American airlines have gotten way more expensive. I remember with Southwest use to be super cheap just going from Texas to Florida.
 
Also this is not a standard over-booking situation, it's fully booked, but United wanted to put their own employees on board.
 
Oscar Munoz's apology


- "That is not who United is"

- "This cannot happen again on a United flight"

- "My initial apology fell short, and it's something I will learn from"

- "Use of law enforcement in an aircraft have to be looked at"

- "This was a SYSTEM failure"

- "This issue could have been solved by COMMON SENSE"

- "The INCENTIVE model needs to change"

- "In the future, we will not put law enforcement on the flight EVER AGAIN"

- "The passenger WAS NOT AT FAULT. HE CAN'T BE. NOONE SHOULD BE TREATED THAT WAY"

Yep, bad media will make you so what people want to hear. Just standard PR happening. Damage control.

Hey do you remember what was your sauce about the doctor going off the plane willingly and then changing his mind? I couldn't find it anywhere. Only read that he was dragged off the plane the first time round.

They do the same **** here Melbourne Sydney return (one of the most profitable routes in the world) 350 bucks to travel about 900km. Melbourne LA 23000km, air fare 1200 bucks, work that **** out.

Haha.. really? Didn't know that. What about Jetstar?
 
The seats are just that little bit too small, i'm about the right size and shape to play nose tackle, so its a long flight. Anything over a couple of hours I normally fly business.

Wow good on ya, sounds like you could afford it.



Had a $300 round trip Christchurch-Bangkok on AirAsia once, it was pretty much like being in a cargo hold but it's so cheap it was worth it.

Man my knees would be ****ed for days, went to a comedy gig last Friday that went for four hour and my knee hurt for 2 days. Return flights to Europe cost me, 5500 business which was pretty good, just over double economy price but it was 40 odd hours each way and I felt all right once I got off the plane. I did Havana to Melbourne in economy a few years back and it was 56 hours, man I felt like **** for a good week. That was when I said never again.

Nice.. I got bumped to business class 2 years ago on Emirates... I literally did not want to get off the plane... LOL... it was just so comfortable. Food served on a plate. Single malt scotch, cocktails, whatever you want.


It really is the life.. LOL..
