“These passengers repeatedly attempted to sit in upgraded seating which they did not purchase and they would not follow crew instructions to return to their assigned seats,” the airline said.
According to United and their power crazed waitresses.
I was on a United flight from chitcago to Cincinnati yesterday and some attention whore tried to start it with the attendant.She wanted to sit next to her daughters who were in a bulkhead seat. She couldn’t understand why she would have to pay extra for more leg room if the seat was empty anyway.
I felt like standing my 6`5” body up and telling her off. My kids were along and I didn’t want handcuffed in front of them.
The funny part was when we arrived at the Gate to get on this flight these same three platinum blonds were laying on the floor in the middle of the waiting area sleeping off spring break.I had commented to my wife that it looked like a grey hound station.
Anyway, the flight atendent had to spend ten minutes explaining airline policy to this dim-wit and did a great job keeping her cool.
If this is correct then I support United kicking their keesters off the airplane.
The airline is lying, as usual. Read the rest of the article:
“The airline said, ‘We’ve been in touch with them and have rebooked them.’”
These passengers would NOT be rebooked, if they were at fault.
And did you miss the first part of the article, about United NOT doing anything about the slob who was sleeping on their assigned seats...which is why they sat down in other seats in the first place?
United is really great at letting the true troublemakers get away with murder, while dropping the banhammer on people who are just trying to mind their own business.
If they were trying to steal an upgraded seat position without paying I have zero sympathy for them. Called theft of services. Kind of like sneaking out of a hotel without paying or stiffing a restaurant after esting an expensive meal.
