  - It does really suck when your team is on pace to win 105 games. The horror of losing almost *60* games in a year! -- nm - Inigo Aug 1, 11:39 15
    - Please. You and Groiny both know that might not be good enough to win the division and we're fighting to stay out of the wild card. - Krusty Aug 1, 11:47 13
      - up 6 games in the wild card race. - groiny Aug 1, 11:56 2
        
        Which is one and done and we all know anything can happen in a one game series. Winning the division is important. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 12:00 1
        
        Git gud then. -- nm - Shaun Aug 1, 12:07
      - Your team won 3 games in a row, and still is on pace for 105 wins. They are playing well. One loss (maybe) is nothing to complain about. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 1, 11:55 6
        
        Except the numbers don't tell the whole story and we have problems that aren't getting fixed. Our ace hasn't pitched well in a month, our bats are - Krusty Aug 1, 11:59 5
        
        In a 162 game season, you're going to lose against some bad teams. It happens. That doesn't make your team suck, too. - Inigo Aug 1, 12:09 4
        
        I don't think they suck and I've had a fun time watching the team but there are issues that need to be fixed and I was just complaining. - Krusty Aug 1, 12:16
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Again, you're a team on pace for 105 wins. "Demanding" better than that just screams of entitlement. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 1, 12:18 1

  - yeah, the White Sox feel real bad for you guys and your shitty season! -- nm - groiny Aug 1, 11:34 1

- The one thing to note in these situations is that it's normally one employee and not necessarily indicative of corporate culture - ty97 Aug 1, 11:11 2
  - I'll bet a little money the employee's religious views were offended and insists that the decision was protected under federal law. -- nm - Max Aug 1, 11:15 1
    - could be. Could also be that some FAs don't like being not listened to 100% of the time and use the power they have "you must listen to the crew" to - ty97 Aug 1, 11:20
- Alaska Airlines will straight give your seat to someone else. Won't even tell you til you try to board -- nm* - Epiphany Aug 1, 11:08 5
  - I fly Alaska a lot. Don't recall ever getting overbooked. So I've definitely never seen them bump someone without telling them. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 11:27 2
    - pretty much every US airlines overbooks (not all, but most) -- nm - ty97 Aug 1, 11:30 1
      - I don't doubt it. I just haven't experienced it. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 11:44
  - That seems to be what happened here, but the flight attendant seems to have handled it poorly. -- nm - znufrii Aug 1, 11:10 1
    - for sure - Epiphany Aug 1, 11:13
- They asked one person to move not knowing the other was with them? Or they actually knew and split them? -- nm - Max Aug 1, 11:03 2
  - They insisted after being informed the two were a couple and gave them the choice of moving or leaving the flight. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 1, 11:06 1
    - Holy crap. -- nm - Max Aug 1, 11:12
- Well, someone's fired. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 11:02
Hey David, you mentioned going to WDW for Halloween. What dates? I'll be there in mid-late October. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 10:59 10

  - This is Walt Disney World. "Halloween" starts in August. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 11:02 8
    - Ah, I stand corrected. :) -- nm - crash davis Aug 1, 11:21 4
      - he's not even being sarcastic either - ty97 Aug 1, 11:34 3
        
        Hard to believe that Halloween gets more time than Christmas. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Aug 1, 11:37 2
        
        as it should. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 11:39 1

      - We're doing MNSSHP, probably on the 18th or 19th. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 11:20 1
        
        Make sure to buy your tickets early. They sell out well in advance these days. -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:21
