[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The airlines are already deregulated... HELLO!!!!![/quote]

Don't be daft. Of course we are all aware of the "airline deregulation" that took place in the late 70s. It takes the feds out of the business of dealing with fares, routes and new airlines entering the market. But there are a shit ton of regulations that relate to the airlines, planes, runways, you name it. My point is airlines, for example, should be regulated in the way they handle overbooking. Set a limit (can't overbook by a certain percentage), set a minimum that must be paid to customers who are bumped (triple the fare), enable the paying customer to say no. [/quote]

I'm conservative and don't give a shit if they overbook, no limits needed. But you need to pay $$ for the seats if you bump people. You can't use police to force the consequences of your overbooking.

I also have happily gotten off for $800 before, but obviously that wasn't enough money in this circumstance. [/quote]

They offered $800 in United vouchers. That's waaaaaaaaaaaay less than $800 in cold hard cash. The vouchers have restrictions, expiration dates, and can't be used to pay for taxes or other fees associated with airfares.

United needs to quit being cheapskates. They basically just beat this man up in order to save money. That's not how we do business in America. 'Eff them.[/quote]
Well said, plain and simple.[/quote]
