Scary Bear Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I read somewhere that it's quite common for airlines to oversell flights, as they know that out of 200 or however many folk, a certain number won't turn up or business travellers will change to a different flight at the last minute. When they end up with everyone turning up they have to offer incentives to get folk to give up their seat. Guess it must be more profitable for them to operate like that. But the guy in question had a seat. Once they throw him off the plane who replaces him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 But the guy in question had a seat. Once they throw him off the plane who replaces him? The others who had booked a seat. They randomly picked four passengers to miss out. Should've done it before boarding I'd have thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoin Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 From what ive read on twitter, United needed to fly 4 staff members for work the next day, and the passenger that was chucked off was a doctor who also had work the same day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it before boarding would be a sensible move. Telling folk who are already on board that someone else is getting their seat is probably going to annoy them a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Imagine being the guy that got the seat after the doctor had been kicked off though. Awkward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIEA Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I know it's been mentioned before about how technology is impinging upon our lives! But, yesterday I updated the settings on my iPhone Today I booted it up and Siri ( which i don't use ) jumped in. I exclaimed my usual " f*ck off Siri " To which Siri replied " That was uncalled for " Jesus H 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Maybe the North Korean spam bots could support Celtic and the South Korean ones could like Rangers? It'll make it more fun for them if they have a big team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
