re: #191 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

seems like they could have bought tickets for their people on another airline

Indeed. And I told them so in my tweet just now. They opened themselves up to a major lawsuit, and probably the cops will be sued separately. Doctors can usually afford good lawyers, and if he’s a local Louisville doctor, lawyers there will probably volunteer to work pro bono.

I’ve flown United across the Pacific several times. I cannot say it was an enjoyable experience, but it was not horrible either. OTOH, the American and the Hainan Airline flights I took were marginally better.

Piss on United. They lost me as a passenger.
