Canada Ping!
THAT wasn’t very friendly of them.
Hungry, cold, delayed exhausted and ‘confused’
Not much different than the experience on board a United International flight. Why I now go ANA whenever possible.
What a bunch of ingrates. Do you know.how much some people pay for remote camping experiences like that.
We got your money. Now get off our plane.
Canada Ping!
WOW, that’s pretty bad.
I have a friend who just took United from NJ to CA, she said it was horrible.
No pillow, no peanuts, no nothing. And, you know, it’s like a 6 hour flight, not just a short hop.
She told her husband: I’ll never fly on that airline again, I don’t care how inexpensive it is.
I’ve been through all sorts of travel nightmares.
My first thought would be: Goose Bay? Some sort of barracks? cool! Let’s look around and make the best of this!
Then again that would be an independent thought which most folks these days couldn’t generate unless it came on a Kardashian-themed app.
Who would you prefer to be well rested: the guy keeping the plane from crashing, or the freight? There are some parts of remote Canada where a plane full of people would triple the population, there just might not be that many good beads in the region.
In better times, the MEN on that plane would have made things work and WOMEN would have made do with what there was so that everyone would be comfortable.
But, now all we do is sit and wait for something to be done for us.
I think I’d want my flight crew to be well rested.
I have about 800,000 miles lifetime on United, other than a few minor issues i have been happy with them
I’ve been in Goose Bay a few times during military flights, it is a very cold place. This seems like some pretty extraordinary treatment.
It is also the first place that I ever saw vinegar potato chips.
Reason 72 why I’ve not flown since 1996. I want to control my own destiny.
Might fly again if I decide to leave the US permanently.
united Airlines. Why does this not surprise me?
Well that sucks eh.....
Hmmm ... United was the airline last week that had the fake-Islamophobia-woman incident last week ...
what was the emergency that required landing??
Cool! Every time I fly US <-> Europe, I hope that if there’s a problem and we get grounded, it’s in Newfoundland, Labrador, Greenland, or Iceland.
i can’t picture how hundreds can share 2 blankets.
Goose Bay took in 7 jumbo jets and Gander Airport in Newfoundland took in 38 jumbo jets, Halifax, Nova Scotia took 47!! All these planes collectively were filled with thousands of passengers in what was called Operation Yellow Ribbon...
People in the towns even took some passengers into their homes so they could have a place to sleep!
