Yes, you apparently always do cave - a four hour drive instead of getting the product you paid for.

Then your response would be to write a biting, pithy letter to the CEO?

Pathetic. Dr. Dao showed about 400% more manhood than that.

If he wins his lawsuit, hope he rakes in millions. And you enjoy your nice long drive.

P.S.: each and every time an airline tried to pull that “overbooked” crap on me, I raised holy hell - and won. We will continue to be pounded back into the background of our own country until we act like men again.

Unless, of course, you’re not a man - then all of your responses make sense.

The last time I got bumped off a flight like this was more than ten years ago. I was pissed off as all hell, but did what I was told. It wasn't because I wanted to be a subservient sheep, but because I recognized that putting up a stink right there was going to be disruptive to everyone else on the flight. And my problem was not their problem. I dealt with it directly through the CEO afterwards -- which is exactly how I deal with any customer service issue with any private company.

And I've been flying first class with that airline ever since.

He didn't show any manhood at all. He told the security staff they'd have to drag him off the aircraft, which is exactly what they did ... at which point he ran out and hired a top personal-injury attorney to file a huge lawsuit. That's a pathetic definition of manhood, but I guess that's what passes for manhood in these emasculated United States of America these days.

Show me the video clip of Dr. Dao kicking the cops in the head and laying one or two of them out in the aisle before they dragged him away, and then we'll talk about his manhood.

I avoid flying at all costs. I just returned from a business trip in a city more than 1,100 miles away. I drove both ways (basically non-stop on my return trip) because there is nothing about modern air travel that any real man would ever find acceptable ... in my humble opinion.
