Don't make us get the united guys and tell them we're overbooked

Wear a mask. It isn't a problem. It's okay when you exercise. The worst outcome - it doesn't do anything. The best - it saves your life.

How fucked up does a person have to be to get kicked off of an American Airlines flight?
RickRollable
If it had been American cops they would have shot her, probably
sarkonas
Nah, she's white
thatguyonthebike
Spastics like this are the reason Americans aren’t on the green list for travel into the EU.Id be terrified if I had the queue next to her!

So, you pack your bags; ride to the airport; go through security; boarding; then refuse the mask? That's just stupidity with extra steps.

Boomers' parents sacrificed for years to win WW2. Boomers can't stand to wear a GD mask for a few months. And they call Millennials selfish.
FullHeart
I always laugh at boomers posting all the ww2 Re:Re:Re images and it wasn't even them that did it. Taking credit for their parents work

Indeed. Though my dad says the *real* problems are being caused by the people born *during* WW2, not Boomers born after. He may be right.

I am aware that anyone of any age can be a selfish asshole, but Boomers in particular have been gaslighting Millennials for decades now.
Lulabel73
Decades?! They would have been 9 year olds.
fyrstormer
Millennials were born in 1982 - 1996. I'm a Millennial. I'm 37 and my beard has grey hairs in it.
Lulabel73
Decades can mean 30 years. It’s a bit frantic to say decades unless you mean a long time.
ZoidbergIsGreat
Thought it was 1980 that millenials started... either way, yeah. We're hitting 40 and yet people still think millenials are 21.

I imagine forcible removal, the same as you referred to, would have happened had she refused to leave.

It was Chicago "Department of Aviation" cops. Police. Of course they were violent thugs. United's only responsibility was in calling them.
Dionysus187
I have NEVER heard of even an average account of a United flight. Absolute shit airline.
Oscill8s
I flew United a bunch for work and never had an issue. It wasn't great, wasn't terrible. Like riding a bus. Who posts neutral reviews?
norticat
I have found it a pretty good service and helpful if needed. I guess bad press travels faster. Air Canada is far worse
gaenaralhonk
Tbf, who reports on completely normal occurences?
indigoroyalblue
Why would anyone give an average account of a flight? OK GUYS STRAP IN FOR THIS STORY! I got on the airplane, then it flew to my destination
DickFlanagan
So true - I used to fly a lot for business - all my horror stories involve United. Truly the worst.
Dionysus187
Exactly, any time I talk to people who fly a lot either say they never flown with them or that they are horrible.
ImNotAnOrange
My dad's been flying united for all his business flights for the last 10 years, simply the most convenient international US based airline>>
DickFlanagan
I used to fly a lot out of NY to Europe and Delta and AA are now much better because of their alliance partners
ImNotAnOrange
not saying its the best, but if you have to fly international a lot, its clearly not bad enough to outweigh what they can do

The US is treating masks as admittance. Letting you in places but once you're in very few places require you keep them on (properly)
SuperEasyBarelyAnInconvenience
Besides my work (which I'm very diligent) the few places I go on days off dont care once you pass the door.

They have all kinds of flying regs, including dress and behavior standards. Including checking every passenger for signs of illness.
SarcasticComment
They can remove anyone for disruption and do frequently enough.
sdfsfsfsgs
1 I didn't say they couldn't. I said they can't remove anyone for any reason or no reason, which is basically what the comment I replied to
sdfsfsfsgs
2 is communicating. They do not have the same rights as say, an antique shop, which can refuse service to anyone for any reason other than
sdfsfsfsgs
1 They are only allowed to refuse services to those things deemed legal for common carriers and must be expressed within their
sdfsfsfsgs
2 contract of carriage.
emeraldimage
Yes AA can refuse. I their t&c is says passenger must Behave appropriately and respectfully with other passengers, crew and airport team....
sdfsfsfsgs
/1 Seems you guys have trouble with English. AA absolutely cannot refuse service to anyone for any reason they wish. They are a
sdfsfsfsgs
/2 COMMON CARRIER which means they PROVIDE A PUBLIC SERVICE.
emeraldimage
And Not threaten the safety of the flight in any way plus many other conditions a passenger must comply with.
sdfsfsfsgs
1 They aren't simply a "business" they are businesses that provide public services as common carriers and so do not have the same rights
sdfsfsfsgs
2 as basic businesses to refuse services. This does not mean they can't refuse services just that they are bound by laws to make sure

I say fine them the average cost of a Covid hospital bill. Maybe that would make them wear a mask.
Ninjainslippers
Without any teeth, mask orders are pretty meaningless. Our governor mandated masks but I still see people without them sometimes.

That’s why I said make it a law with penalties. Moved to Louisiana from Germany. I knew people weren’t wearing masks, but it’s worse than

In France not wearing a mask in an enclosed public space (shops etc.) gets you a fine of 135€ (~$150).

Without penalties, people are going to continue doing whatever they want

State mandates are enforceable as law. Some states may not be dictating any punishment, but that doesn't make it not the law.

In Michigan you're supposed to get fined, but a lot of cops have openly said they refuse to enforce it.

I don't understand this simple thing has so many people refusing to the point of anger. Chill out and wear the fucking mask. Its really easy
boevis
No, keep the govt out of it. Just normalize it to the point of ostracizing those who don't. Put it in HOAs, TOS agreements for club shopping
ObscureReferencing
That works, but not in america, where it is every citizens duty to be "different". So laws are needed
boevis
Maybe. Part of me says that it needs to be normalized before becoming law, but we STILL have radio ads reminding people to wear seatbelts.

I would much rather it be a law than put in an HOA. Most HOA's should be disbanded. You're correct about normalizing it, but without 1/2

MattTheImperialRadarTechnician
It's because gate agents don't enforce the rules. So everyone abuses the carryon system, which is why boarding takes forever.
MattTheImperialRadarTechnician
If airlines cared about turntimes, they'd charge for carryon but make baggage free. It's proven to almost halve boarding time.
