What if no one steps up?

Play the hypothetical with me. Everyone else on the plane is part of a huge family going to their grandfather's funeral that is the next morning.

Then what?

You bump your employees and charter a flight for them. - Will Hunting Apr 11, 07:44 16

- This is where they are really getting hammered. It was their own fucking employees bumping paying customers. - Bacon Apr 11, 07:46 14
  - Right, but those employees were going to Louisville to work a flight the next morning. - ty97 Apr 11, 07:50 9
    - Sure, they get there via the gulfstream or whatever. - Will Hunting Apr 11, 07:52 4
      - uh-huh, charter a plane, that's logical -- nm - ty97 Apr 11, 07:57 3
        
        You know what's not logical? Not having peope where they need to be, instead of relying on shafting your paying customers. - Will Hunting Apr 11, 08:24
        
        Unless there is a rule that crew members have to travel on company equipment, which there very well might be -- (edited) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 11, 07:59 1
        
        Sure, if you can see the one PR situation like this coming, charter the plane, but they aren't Miss Cleo. -- nm - ty97 Apr 11, 08:00
    - in this case, Chicago to Louisville, the answer should be simple. - groiny Apr 11, 07:52 1
      - Union rules wouldn't allow it I'm sure -- nm - ty97 Apr 11, 07:56
    - The public never pays attention to get those details. We are a headline culture. -- nm - Bacon Apr 11, 07:52 1
      - Headline -- United can't schedule the right number of crews to work in the right place. - Will Hunting Apr 11, 07:53
  - I can see it from a union standpoint though: "Hell no you're not going to choose income over employees and make us pay our own way to destination." -- nm - Max Apr 11, 07:48 3
    - There's no paying their own way -- they get the United-comped limo ride or the Gulfstream - Will Hunting Apr 11, 07:51
    - no-one is suggesting they pay their own way. -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 07:49 1
      - I'm just imaging that if they don't have a Deadhead-over-customers clause, they end up getting shafted somehow. This is United we're talking about :) -- nm - Max Apr 11, 07:50
thing is, someone would eventually step up. - groiny Apr 11, 07:44
someone will. eventually. everyone has a price. -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 07:43 1
- *fistbump* -- nm - groiny Apr 11, 07:44
