Mate, I’ve gapped a few spark plugs in my time, don’t recall every getting a broken nose for my efforts. Can you tell us what the story there was? I only ask because next week I will be tuning a V8 and I will be with a grumpy old Scotsman. Any tips to avoid mangled sinuses?Quote:

Insulting a poster and sending reds says more about you than lack of proof.I guess we wont be shareing a double in Utd premium any time soon

United Airlines staff are also going to receive mandatory training, and customers who have already been seated will no longer be required to give up their seats.

The new United Airlines policies announced on Thursday
- The airline will reduce the amount of overbooking on flights
- United will increase the incentive for voluntarily bumped passengers to $10,000 (£7,800)
- United Airlines employees will receive mandatory annual training
- Customers who are already seated will no longer be required to give up their seats
- The airline will limit the use of law enforcement to security and safety issues alone
- Travelling crews will need to be booked onto a flight at least 60 minutes before departure
^For $10,000 they can bump me ANY time.
I'm guessing it's "up to".....Quote:

The announcement includes praise for United (UAL) CEO Oscar Munoz from Thomas Demetrio, one of Dao's lawyers.
"Mr. Munoz said he was going to do the right thing, and he has," he said. "In addition, United has taken full responsibility for what happened...without attempting to blame others, including the City of Chicago."

^ Wonder how many millions he received?
He could just about open his own Airline I would imagine... heh
As to their new policy to increase the incentive for voluntarily bumped passengers to $10,000.. That's much more reasonable than the chicken feed they were paying prior to this mess.
you don't actually believe that, do you?Quote:

Paying proper money (10k) shows the airline values their customers... instead the cheap charlie airline has now paid out substantially more (probably/hopefully millions)..
A Kiwi couple were paid $8k in compensation for a delayed flight... 10k is a magic number that 'most' will accept.
of course...but I imagine a huge number will accept a lot less to suffer inconvenience in order to beat out those who will wait for the $10k prize..it's like an airline game show...Quote:

Everyone has different standards I suppose... some might accept a bag of crisps and a free winnie the pooh teddy 55..
So what's your magic number, TC?
I mean, if the airline overbooked (silly them) and wanted your cute feline ass off the plane? :chitown:
I think they're a bit misleading, these figures...It's unreasonable to assume the airlines should pay such a large amount...
And $800 for being "delayed" a bit?...I don't think that's bad if it means you have an extra $800 after you finally get to where you're going...
What is the big deal about flying that it "holds you up" so much?...Jaysus, in Canada in the winter, the odd avalanche could cause a highway and/or railroad to be temporarily closed...Big deal...
Calm down, relax, take a fucking pill and stop and "smell something"...
You are not that important that you need much, if any, compensation beyond expenses to get you "home"...
Bunch of fooking whining self-important "meaningless" people...
they want any ass off the plane and I imagine an auction system will quickly be put in place...$10K may be dangled but I doubt it will ever be offered...personally, my travel plans could probably be interrupted for, say, $9,900 and not a penny less...Quote:

So many variables.. $800 might do it for you... how about a guy/gal rushing back to a dying relative... what price can we put on that? how about a businessman who makes that in an hour? etc, etc...
Better to be generous IMO.. especially as it's the airlines fault, 10k is nothing for them, might discourage them to overbook seats on their plane, as to not inconvenience their passengers ey?
I doubt they'll ever get near $10,000, unless they have to bump someone at, say, Thanksgiving, when the Americans are like the Thais at New Year and all travel at the same time.
Even then, I'm pretty sure some enterprising students or the like would jump at a third of that or less.
It just sounds good in the press, and let's face it they needed some good press!
Like I said...Don't get "confused" about the money...It's travel for fcks sake...Things happen...There are delays...Doesn't matter what you think you're worth...
Again, we could just assume the fcking plane crashes...Then all the problems would be solved...Everybody is really late, then...A lot of upset people I would think...
WTF are you babbling on about?Quote:

Cheer up, Harry...Here's $800...Go have a few drinks or bongs and relax...Simple...
While I admire your cool, blase attitude to compensation bro - for whatever reasons, others (including myself) don't share the same carefree attitude when it comes to our time being wasted by the ineptitude of airlines and their overbooking blunders...Quote:

We can agree to disagree on that one...I doubt your flight and all its trimmings would ever come close to $10,000...
So, great...Here's $10,000...Go have a few more drinks and bongs and you'll still be just as late as the idiot who demands $100,000 for his troubles...Because he's so much better than you...
Tell you what mate, next time you and I are the only candidates for the last seat on the plane, I fully expect you to fuck off back to the lounge without so much as a squeak or a free cup of tea then.Quote:

Maybe that's just me.
^ Heh...That's a bit much, Harry...Been there already...Got an executive suite for the night, first class seat out in the morning plus all expenses and a cheque for the price of the initial flight reimbursed immediately...
Even had some sweet pussy waiting for me back in Chicago...And wait, she did...Why the hurry or the "over-inflated" opinion of oneself?...
I think you must have started on the Chang a bit early.Quote:

sheet.. when I was 18, I prolly would have accepted a cheap whiskey, bag of weed and a quick BJ for my seat...
Of course, in this scenario I am picturing my impending flight out of dodge, to Japan, hence my strong stance...If I were going say to Fiji for a quick holiday, my workers had work to keep them going, etc... I would be much easier going...
Discount $9,900... who said Dick doesn't have a heart...
Whiskey, BJ and bag of weed for $100?Quote:
