I don't understand why United Airlines had to pull that one guy from a plane so forcibly.
If they really needed to put their crew on a sold out flight, it would have been cheaper to buy tickets from another airline and send passengers or crew on that.
But then they use a computer and randomly pick a guy to eject. And when he refuses, they couldn't find someone else on a whole plane of people who would be more willing? If they offered vouchers or cash, I'm sure someone else would have jumped on it. Why did they have to kick a guy out and at very least lose a customer for life?
- I imagine if they called on the loud speaker "$500 cash to anyone who is willing to get bumped to the next flight" someone would have taken that offer.capn_ron
- ^ exactly. It all sounds so obvious afterwards, but I guess we all make errors in judgement sometimes. Just surprising no one thought of a better idea.bainbridge
- They did offer cash. Nobody would go.monospaced
- and everyone on the plane let this happen.bainbridge
- The internal memo made everything worse. The CEO doesn't seem to think the air line did anything wrong.pango
- Yes. That is how much people expect to fly after buying a ticket, traveling to the airport, submitting to TSA bullshit, $15 turkey sandwiches and baggage fees.monospaced
- They did offer cash? I didn't see that. Well they could have doubled the cash offer and still not lost $250million in stockscapn_ron
- Very stupid yes. The stock will correct though.monospaced
- Volunteer or else!pango
- They stopped offering at $800 + hotel, but the policy (so I've heard) says $1200 + hotel.i_monk
- does is say $800 cash, or credit for a flight? I would think cash has more value than flight credit.capn_ron
- voucher. I heard 800 max. and it's the kind of offer you can't refuse.pango
- What if the value of the flight is more than $800yuekit
- If it's not voluntary, they have to give you cash if you ask for it.bainbridge
- Personally, the pain in the ass just dealing with airports is a solid $750 value on top of ticket price. Price gouging, taxis, shit employees, fees, long queuesmonospaced

If an airline bumps you and it's not voluntary, they have to give you cash if you ask for it.
- They only give out voucher.pango
- ^ look it up, they have to give you money if you ask. It's the law.bainbridge
- They offered cash, no one wanted it.rabbit
- So they then randomly chose someone.rabbit
- The winner.rabbit
- what they normally do -- in my experience at least -- is keep raising the cash offer until someone accepts it. someone always does once the price is rightGnash
- when I was flying back from venice last year the offer got to $3K cash, 3 nights hotel in frankfort, tickets back home and money for meals for 3 daysGnash
- we were in frankfort on a layover so we wouldn't be able to get our luggage.. we had to survive with our carryon bagGnash
- Apparently, getting volun-told in EU is not the same as US.DRIFTMONKEY

Are you good at looking at random people and being able to deduce what music they listen to, what artists they like, what they are interested in?
- I would say no, because my musical tastes would perhaps surprise most, in the sense that i go from 50 cent killa hill shit to bloody orchestral Bolero in 1 day.rabbit
- Does this work in reverse? is Rabbit 31, 5'10", 12 stone, balding slightly with a trimmed beard?kingsteven
- what do i like?pango
- 12 stone?monospaced
- stone = imperial measurement still used in UKfadein11

- Does the UK even issue a quarter pound coin? ;)monospaced
- Nope, we have a 1/5th coin, which is a little more challenging I know.set
- yes, i can tell instantly if a girl listens to Mr. BungleHijoDMaite

I hate when you offer to do something for free for a good cause and then they're like "oh, can you do x, y, z and q" and you want to be professional and do a good job but come on.

This is a bit weird — i had a small meeting in town today, so went down and on the same street is a Maharishi store — once, and to a degree still, my only ever beloved clothing brand (i'm wearing a pair of their trousers right now). I walked past, ruing my oldie sensibilities as I can't really justify spending so much money on clothes these days, when there's so much else to spend money on (willingly or otherwise).
Anyway, I get back to the studio here and... there's an email from someone in said store, wanting a small job done.
That's really fucking coincidental. I mean, like, really.
A shame the job's not bigger — I'd happily swap for a jacket and a new pair of pants.
- That's pretty cool. Serendipity for sure. Go for that jacket and pants anyway and see what they say!capn_ron
- Whatever happens, it's brought me a small mote of joy to create a folder for them in my enquiries.detritus
- haha, thanks ron - I've already dropped a hint about who I can talk to about buying a replacement for an old jacket :)detritus

I accidentally bought some skunk the other week, on some of which I gardened.
I'm normally a placid hashish smoker.
On skunk, weeding in my garden, every little peripheral sigh of settling pulled weeds; every woodlouse bumbling on the floor; every uncovered spider dejectedly scurrying to new home; each tiny piece of detritus twitching in the breeze, made me start and stare and twitch nervously.
I hate skunk.

Fuck you NSW..
just got a fine for $325 for stopping behind a car which had stopped in front of me..I went online to dispute it.. had to tick a box saying I understand that by submitting false information I could be facing a fine of $2200.. It only happened 2 days ago, I'm pretty sure I remember .. but $2200 is a pretty big disincentive
