United has a history of poor judgment when it comes to serving their customers humanely.

I got off easy. On a flight home, they locked the doors early causing me to miss my flight last year. I was very angry with them.

Now I am thankful, it could have been so much worse.

“Accidentally discovered” ROTFL.

United has a history of poor judgment, period.

A long time ago on Korea Air Lines (KAL) I was treated like a king. I only had to think of something and three people were rushing to get it for me. And that was in coach.

My one and only attempt to fly United, they discovered 20 minutes before boarding that they didn’t actually HAVE any planes at that airport, and had to buy everyone tickets for a Delta flight.

You can not lock someone in a commercial airliner, there are NO door locks except to the flight deck, and they only lock from inside.

She was left on the plane, big difference.

She was flying blind with no assistance?

Where’s the problem? They kick one off; they keep one on. On average, United is doing OK.

She got a voucher for the beating they owe her for not getting off the plane when told.

“We owe you one lady, you’ll never see it coming.”

It’s all the consolidation. Airlines pretty much enjoy monopolies at various airports.

If you live in Dallas, you’re stuck with American. If you live in Atlanta, you’re stuck with Delta.

Ain't no valid link substantiating the story bro........Sheesh!

Trust me the mergers are no fun for the working level employees either.

Had a career stewardess in the family. She went thru several mergers in her 40 years.

Well what do you know, I found the article on the internet and it appears "being abandoned" on the plane was a slight exaggeration.

She said she was stuck for 10 minutes,......LOL!

I was doing a search for his birthplace, he has SoCal listed as his home territory and went to some pretty good schools.

He is the oldest of nine, and wiki has him as Mexican American,, whatever that is these days. Oddly, no bio contains his birthplace. Hmmmm...
