In the court of public opinion it sucks and it’s And it’s a bad look for United. But the company was well within their rights, every airline in the world overbooks because it maximizes profit. Which is the point of business, feelings are hurt but even that trendy craft beer pub you love was opened for one thing, to take your money. Over the years airlines took a look at their routes and noticed that going from A to B, X amount of people just don’t show up, so now they can keep their planes full and make a few extra bucks doing it on top of it all. And they do that by overbooking. Sometimes they gotta give the vouchers but generally it’s not an issue. Now in this case it was airline employees that needed the seat, so by kicking off 4 people, United is now preventing 100 people’s flight from being delayed or cancelled which would cost the company a lot of money. So by paying 4 people $800, they saves themselves roughly $50,000 in the long term by keeping their schedule running on time.
In the airline industry we call it “Airport IQ”. It’s almost a game to flight crews, people always seem to turn into a 5 years who hasn’t had a snack or a 5 year old who lost their mom at the department store. You wouldn’t believe the shit people come up to me complaining about. Like pink tagged bags going to baggage claim so they don’t have to stand on a cold jetway in the middle of winter in Bangor Maine and “we inconvenienced him out of 5 minutes”, yup got that one last week, Or things like being right under a sign with directions pointing to baggage claim and getting asked where it is. Get that 5 times a week, That’s the most common. Lady I’m a pilot, not a ticket agent or a baggage handler, literally all of your complaints are someone that I have no control over what so ever.
The people that think ranch go with pizza are the same kinds of people they eat a whole bag of cheetos and then touch everything before washing their hands.
Marriage packs are a comfort notion I think, kind of like, yeah if I screw up big time I can rely on that pact I made in high school to a good “friend”. What happens when the time comes? What if it was a platonic relationship? It’s gotta be awkward having to have sex with someone you only saw as a friend of younger married or is it basically gonna be a separate bedroom marriage?
Dillon would have it until the Crag and then fall apart because he would stop to tell everyone how he skis Vail once a year and is suited for mountains situations
The thing also about DC is like myself, it’s all transplants from the Midwest and South. No one is “from” DC. It’s a city that truly hasn’t grown on me, I lived in North Dakota for 6 years and at least I grew to like Grand Forks. There is nothing worse than a bunch of Somali drivers stopping on 95 south because they don’t know how to merge or because they missed their exit so they are gonna stop and inch their way over 3 lanes because Uber is their career. No one can drive. God forbid you live along the Blue line metro right now too. Useless transit system.
Your selection choice literally just sounds like AMC on a regular basis. They play the same 10-15 movies pretty much on rotation throughout the year thrown in with some walking dead which has been there biggest space filler since breaking bad and mad men went off the air.
I standby with this as a Chicagoan now living in dc. If you think living downtown chi town is expensive, it’a costs a hell of a lot more just to live in the suburbs here, If you want something affordable you need to live almost a good 50 miles away, no exaggeration. Also the drivers are 100000x worse.
I think hbo is just trying to get some shock and aw viewers with the young pope. It’ll get some attention but I don’t see it going a long ways. Who wants to watch a show about church?
What kind of parent lets a kindergarten walk around the house naked? I would have been beaten with a belt years before they if I pulled that stunt. Big ups on the kid though for not giving a fuck who sees em.

Gonna go into work after not getting a Captain upgrade and suck my company for what it’s worth. Checking my hopes and dreams for a later time.

There is none, you can get just as good meat from Kroger if you rummage enough. Maybe it’s not grass feed but who can tell the difference.
Doing Vail this weekend and not staying in Dillon
No love for mixing ketchup and mayo together to make secret sauce?

Bout to eat the finest Laguardia airport has to offer. Salad left out on a buffet since 8am
Also what’s the craft beer scene going in the office. What’s everyone drinking lately? Looking for branch out a little from the west coast IPAs

No body buys cheap beer thinking, “I’m gonna enjoy this responsibly”

It’s Friday so I’m not really paying a whole lot of attention
