Thread: A man wouldn’t leave an overbooked United flight. So he was dragged off, battered

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?

There is too much obsession over compensation for "grievous" loss of time and money...All this "what if" bullshit...

So I added my "what if"...

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...

Not being sarky (for a change) you have every right to maintain your enviable sabai sabai stance (as do we for valuing our time differently)...

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.

Personally I am not going to just hand over money to an airline in return for getting fucked about on their whim.

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.

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?
Mate, I thought your standards were higher.

My standards were lower when I was 18... was still flying Virgin airlines (if ya catch me drift)...

I wouldn't fly an airline that doesn't go all the way.

rat-a-tat-*ching*

555 ^ good one Harry...

What's your price then? I mean if they kicked you off the plane, how much compensation would ease the pain?

I suppose it depends on the timing/circumstance, urgency of travel... so many factors...

I guess the sensationalism has died down and a few dummies have come to their senses...

How's the "gay doctor" doing, I wonder...Silly bitch...

^ Doing spiffing I should imagine mate, what with the squillions he made he could prolly start his own airline...

cum fly the rainbow skies...

Doubt he made much...Paid his medical bills for the "self-inflicted" damage and a free night with Susie Duct Tape...

haha... prolly right... only made a few mil... still, not bad ey... buys a lot of flesh lights or body armor... or both..
