Another bone head move by United Airlines...

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

am i the only one who watches a show "what would you do?" the show sets up situations in places of business or
on the street with someone doing something usually not illegal but just morally wrong and they show if others
step in to help.

I agree with you; but, in this case it had nothing to do with the cheapest anything.

Customers fighting for the cheapest fares makes the airlines race to the bottom. They're not hiring the same caliber of people for flight attendants that they used to.
Remember when flight attendants had to be Registered Nurses ??

Good lord man, that was back in the 1930's when passenger flying first began.

They could not be married then either and that didn't change (at some airlines) until around 1970.

Can't remember that, but can remember when they had to meet a minimum height and a weight limit.

Here is an idea................ All pets and children under 10 should be required to be in the cargo area.

Nothing worse on a flight than a screaming little brat (I mean, "angel") in the cabin area. :gaah:

Sounds like a plan. How about chloroform?

I know why nobody helped the poor dog...

-When was the last time you cracked a joke about having a bomb to a TSA agent?

-Who remembers that doctor, who just wanted to get home, got his nose broke and dragged down the aisle, so a United employee could fly free.

-What happens to people who cause a scene on an aircraft in flight? You spend the remainder of the flight duct taped to a seat. When the plane lands, men in uniforms board the aircraft and take you away.

Yeah, one of these are United oriented, but rights have changed when you fly. You're expected to buckle up, don't say or do anything that might make anyone uneasy, especially the stewardesses. You know there's a Sky Marshall on some flights, don't draw attention to yourself.

They've created an environment of fear while flying.

Now, after reading the above, which are facts, would you get up and help that little dog?

You have hit the nail on the head. I avoid flying like the plague.
