- AnimalMuppet 10y agoWell, United stock went down, IIRC, $830 million dollars. That's paying a bit of a price. They may pay for it in lost sales and lawsuits, as well. The cop got suspended. That's paying a price, too. And it may not be the end of the price he pays.

- jldugger 10y agoWell yea, man. If UAL is so popular they have to drag people off the plane, they must be selling crazy tickets, right? And they probably have more room to raise prices than anticipated.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoNo. I only mean UAL hasn't been hit yet in pocket book about this. I agree that they should be.
- lostlogin 10y agoThe article says 1.6 billion. I suppose it matters when you take the measurement.
