Wish you'd start using another word. "Shade" is overplayed.

This is a good one! Lol thanks for sharing. BTW, I am now hearing that apparently that United flight was *not* overbooked at all! It was sold out, but only overbooked once United decided the 4 employees are *must-ride* passengers (which meant paying passengers had to be bumped off.) I'm curious whether United decided to add those 4 employees before or after the passengers had boarded the plane.

Well done Royal Jordanian. Perhaps this might be what it takes to get the ME3 flying more US routes... I'd love to see the rules changed to allow foreign carriers to operate domestic routes in the USA. Think of all the jobs it would create. Someone's got to staff the lounges, clean airplanes, cater meals, and provide good customer service -- things the US airlines don't seem to be interested in.

Actually Emirates should've done this on Delta, that would've been much better.

I am surprised that Delta and Alaska and American haven't offered immediate status challenges to United elites. Although...based on a lot of airline policy decisions, it seems like the airlines actually don't want too many elites and have to give away too many freebies.

Gee Daniel. Are you really giving "column space" to PewDiePie, a potty-mouthed racist who makes jokes about killing jews?

Seriously? Put your computer away, Daniel. You are worshipping the wrong idols.

Why would anyone fly United ? They are the world's worst airline but a great distance they treat their customers with total contempt.

Just google it. It has been a huge scandal. Guy is horrible and has been banned by multiple platforms including YouTube Red ending their production relationship with him over this and related stuff.

@Daniel. I second WilliamC's comment. The guy is trash and I really wish you wouldn't mention him as an example. He's just trying to be relevant by taking advantage of this situation for his personal gain

Let's face facts - the only reason for US domestic flights is such volume is that the US has failed to invest in a high speed passenger train infrastructure. So this segment of the industry is merely a flying bus system with passengers respected to that standard.
