I was on this flight, too. Of course, I was in first class so I didn't chum it up with you and Cesar Millan back in coach.
I think some of you are being a little harsh on ESAs. I know someone with crippling anxiety and her ESA has been very beneficial. Sure, theres probably some people who don't need one that have one, but at the end of the day you don't know anything about a person by looking at them.
The whole fan disc failed on an A380 over the Atlantic yesterday. Entire front part of the engine is gone.
But actually, for the passengers, a minor inconvenience since they had to be on the plane for 23hrs. A minor hassle for maintenance. A big hassle for investigators.
Reading through that Twitter thread, they landed at a small military base in Canada. Not set up to receive 200+ passengers at all. While they waited for a new plane to take them on, it was more comfortable to just keep them onboard.
How shitty must your airfield be for people to say “you know what, I’ll just stay in this airplane cabin all day”?
Or just the fact that I’m sure it’s stressful as shit. My dog will pee himself during a loud lightning strike. Poor buddy.
I'd still prefer to get out and hang around the building or sit outside. I feel like planes tend to get warm inside when sitting idle on the tarmac. I had a flight earlier this year from Panama to Costa Rica that was rerouted to Nicaragua. We sat on the ground for a little over an hour and it was miserable. It's not only how uncomfortable you feel, but then you have 100+ other passengers getting antsy, standing in the aisles, waiting in long lines to piss, etc. Just let me get off the damn plane if we're going to be waiting for another one to arrive.

There's like a 75% chance that if you see an "emotional support animal" on a plane that it's just the person's pet
t’s been seven months since Bumpgate, but United is still making changes to better handle the dreaded overbooked flight situation. The airline announced last week that it would introduce a new option for passengers who were traveling on overbooked flights. Now, passengers can tell the airline how much they would need to be offered to be bumped off a flight during the check-in process. United said the program started in early November. Here’s how it works: If your particular flight is oversold, a page will come up (either on the mobile app or in the airport) asking if you’re willing to volunteer to take a different flight. If you say yes, you’ll see a screen where you can specify the amount you’re willing to accept in exchange for being bumped to a later flight. You can choose from a set list of sums of money, or you can enter a unique amount. Image courtesy of United. You’ll want to make sure you choose carefully, because once you’ve made your selection you won’t be able to change it. Although, if you decide that you do want to be on your original flight after all, you can notify a United gate agent and they will take you off the volunteer list. It won’t be a live bidding process like before and will likely mean less money for passengers — United said that it “will consider the lowest bids first.” After Bumpgate rocked United and changed the dynamics of the airline-passenger relationship industry-wide, the carrier introduced 10 policy changes, such as raising maximum compensation for bumped passengers to $10,000 and reducing the overall amount of overbooking. United’s not the only airline that’s enacted new policies after the original Bumpgate incident — Delta’s been using a similar bidding system for quite a while, and raised its maximum payout for a bump to $9,950. If you’re on a flight and decide to volunteer to be bumped, make sure to read our guide of how to take advantage of airline overbooking.
I would love to meet the doctor that signed that piece of paper. I get patients coming in all the time requesting the weirdest shit. By far my favorite was the lady who wanted me to sign a piece of paper saying her indoor hot tub was medically necessary for her fibromyalgia. She was trying to get her insurance to cover the cost of the indoor hot tub. After I refused she had her husband come down to the clinic to try and intimidate me to Sign the piece of paper.
Caught the tail end of a morning radio segment about emotional support animals. Some chick called in saying that she had her doctor sign off on her needing an emotional support guinea pig.
I mean I don't think I have ever seen a clear cut case of a group more deserving of an LOIC by the NCAA.... http://www.sfgate.com/news/houston-...-pilot-admits-to-running-Houston-12362321.php Shut em down.
Holy shit I'm fucking furious. I'd help beat the attendants dead if I was on that flight. What the fuck
Comments suggest that the FA did not force the owner to put the dog into to the overhead bin. The owner didn't even tell the crew they brought on a puppy.
So, all carryon bags bark randomly? *woof woof* What was that? It was my 3 oz or less bottle of shampoo. Ok, we're ready for takeoff!
Here's a better article. The flight attendant allegedly forced the lady to out her dog up there. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...r-in-overhead-bin_us_5aa819aee4b0e872b4bf7d36 The poor lady sat in the aisle and cried after the flight. She finna get paiiiiiiiid
Just took United to Chicago and no animals were killed that I know of. Now on a 3 hour delay to Dublin because it's snowing too hard. There's nothing to blame United about I'm just bored af at the bar and saw this thread on the 1st page and wanted to humble brag about me spending St.Paddys in Ireland.
