[QUOTE="The Beast1, post: 1086792, member: 4882"] Hey Aspie, let me explain to you how the court of [b]public opinion[/b] works. When you either as a person or a business act like an [b]asshole[/b], people will rightly want to avoid you regardless of how right you may think you are. They could have easily offered up to $1300 for a seat, but didn't. Now, United has to deal with the loss of people actively avoiding them because they don't want to deal with being forcibly ejected from a plane for pittance money.
