Most people live in the real world.
I thought the headline was funny.
United may have been within the law but some serious redress should be made to this policy. A prop plane could have had the UAL crew to Louisville faster than this fiasco.

The label allows me to filter a little faster when I'm scanning titles. It also reassures me that the original poster has not mistaken "satire" for a serious report and treated it accordingly, especially after the recent increase in unfunny "news satire" sites.
