Unless you have some bizarre demand curve due to extreme circumstances (famine, civil war, etc) there will always be a clearing price. No need for violence.

- jordanb 10y agoYeah but that would affect profits. Much better to just rough the self-loading cargo up a bit and drag it off the plane. /s
- toomuchtodo 10y agoIt doesn't even have to be bizarre. I've been on flights where the entire flight is going to Mardi Gras, spring break in Daytona, or a cruise; when everyone is expecting to be somewhere, the clearing price can quickly exceed what you'd expect.
- tutufan 10y agoI suspect that in retrospect, United would gladly have paid $100,000 to avoid this fiasco.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoFunny enough, it would've only cost United ~$10k to put their crew on a dedicated Embraer 145 commuter jet to Louisville from Ohare. Oops.
