United employees do enough to harm passengers without holding them responsible for the actions of other passengers.
I’m not sure they ought to be held legally liable here, although I’d like to think they’d care enough to ensure not just that an 80 year old woman receives care but that her family is notified where she is as well.
The dynamics in the union are such that they have to project ‘strength’ at all costs. They’re locked in a game where to maintain power internally they have to saber rattle, no matter the issue. But even if they got everything they asked for it wouldn’t be sustainable because the company would be no better off because its customers would be no better treated.
I don’t ever want to see male toes, although women can take ‘comfy feet on the aircraft’ too far as well. No matter whether you agree with me or not surely we can find common ground that you really need to put shoes on before walking into the lavatory.
When you’re 79 years old and multiple women want to go back with you to your hotel room, it isn’t your wit or your physique that they’re after. And if things like this don’t normally happen to you then it’s not on the up and up if you’re 30, either.

The Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires is a great city hotel, set in an upscale neighbor apart from the hustle and bustle of the city and just a few blocks from the Four Seasons. There are two separate buildings, connected via underground walkway or outside through the garden. There’s the original Palacio and there’s a new tower. I’ve really enjoyed staying there.
The hotel itself is stunning, modern and minimalist for the bulk of the property and yet it blends well with its exterior and palace heritage. In a way it’s a Park Hyatt the way that I’ve come to expect throughout the Asia Pacific, it’s an oasis in a city like Buenos Aires
Michelle Lavin of New York is “putting JetBlue on the legal hot seat” over an incident on a Las Vegas flight that occurred over Labor Day weekend in 2014, but she’s only just now suing.
She claims “the airline torched her keister with hot tea” causing her to suffer third degree burns on her butt. The spill resulted from two passengers arguing over a barking dog.
At several points in time American Airlines has been unable to book premium cabin awards on Etihad, especially for travel between the US and Abu Dhabi. For the last two years the workaround has been to call the American Airlines reservation line in Australia which rings in agents in Fiji.
