They were some kind of transportation police, not very well trained. The guy
should sue because they didn't follow the passenger notification rules so
bzzt you lose. They could have offered more money and someone would have
bit. Now they will pay millions. They could have transported the employees
by ground as the destination is only four hours away. As usual the airline
administration is rudderless.

Somebody tell me there isn't a Limo and a Lear in Chicago. Price is
cheaper than the market loss UAL is taking in the short term.


That was a Limbaugh comment today. Corporate mentality is not to follow
what is right to do but what is least expensive to do. A rental plane
would have only cost a few thousand, not much more than ticket prices
for several people.


As if those peons at UAL that had to handle this could order up
a plane as an alternate solution. Or decide on their own what is
right and what is not. In reality, they probably followed their
training, the UAL rules as they understood them.


United has learned a serious lesson about this as the incident is
costing them millions in losses. First was diving stock price.


Diving stock price? ROFL. The highest it's been recently was 71.5.
The lowest since the event is 69 5/8. And UAL isn't directly affected
by it anyway. Unless they were doing a new offering right now. It
will all be over and forgotten in a few more days.


They have promised never to bump a passenger again so they can save
money transporting an employee.

If so, that's a foolish promise.
