Or, this will all blow over in 1 month, like it always has before, and while they will churn travelers temporarily, the next Delta/et al scandal will churn them right back to United.
Plus the dollar is king and RyanAir proves you can spit on people and treat them like trash and they will line up to fill every plane as long as the price is right.
- _delirium 10y agoHow people direct their outrage at these kinds of stories is pretty fickle, too. Right now, because of a quite egregious case, people are more skeptical of police removing people from planes than they used to be (which is probably good). But in a few months there will be some case of a passenger removed from a plane in circumstances that look bad for the passenger and/or trigger common pet peeves, and then we'll have a chorus of pro-police internet commentators saying "FINALLY someone did something about these assholes, I hope they start doing this regularly!!!"
- joelrunyon 10y agoThe crazy thing about this to me is that United isn't that cheap compared to other airlines. At least Spirit will actually give you a steep discount on most fares and then treat you poorly. United has long known to been this bad and they still charge like a full-fare carrier.
