You don't have to watch it but in this case these guys got the message across loud and clear What really needs to change - beyond the fretting and fitting off Social Media Memes - is our approach to how we travel. £20 for a 750 Mile trip - really? - No. We have to rethink this from the ground up because it's going wrong in the air - and on the ground. This moron - see OP original post - would have been hauled off the bus behaving like this 5 years ago. But now, LO CO's, under such pressure; crew, Ground and pilots ("Get away from the gate and get in the air NOW") - as Chock rightly provides evidence for - cannot go on without dire consequences. It didn't change the culture at United - it just changed the flavour of the Press Releases.

October 22, 20187 yr When the cost of delaying a flight, removing the person, retrieving his luggage from below becomes less important then allowing him to fly to save on those costs, that is a problem.
