  • Don't you just love flying

  • The most amazing experience

  • Who would have thought, that it would even be possible!

  • Such a wonderful experience.. how could it possibly go wrong?

  • *screaming*

  • Ohhhhh

  • We've just recovered...

  • ..from the Pepsi memes

  • Now, for you guys who don't know, I'm sure a lot of you know already

  • There's been this video of a man..

  • being dragged off the aeroplane

  • Let's.. Let's have a little watch

  • In case, you haven't seen it

  • I love this guy, by the way, he's so fucking happy

  • that he got to keep his seat *laughs* he's like 'yeah I got to keep my seat motherfucker..'

  • 'I don't give a shit'

  • aww men, yes! Look how happy he is! What the fuck!

  • In video: *man screaming as pulled from chair*

  • Literally, dragging him outta his seat

  • And I know what you're thinking..

  • 'What did he do? Did he offend the crew? Maybe the passengers?'

  • Maybe he said something really mean? What's happening here is absolutely horrible.

  • I can't believe it's happening. This is so bizarre! Okay, let me give a bit of better context here.

  • So, basically, what happens in a lot of airlines - in America especially- as I understand..

  • Is that they overbook the flights because a tonne of people that book the flights.. don't actually show up

  • So, a way for company's airlines to make even more money on seats for people who don't show up

  • Is to sell more tickets, than it exists on the airplane

  • Everyone, shows up for the fight (it does happen)

  • And that way, clearly, they can't fly the plane. You know, with people sitting on the floor

  • So, they have to accommodate these passengers *laughs*

  • By dragging them the fuck out of the airplane *laughs*

  • I'm not laughing at him

  • I'm laughing at how bizarre the situatuion is

  • Don't get me wrong, what's happening here is horrible

  • But that wasn't what happened, the reason why they dragged this guy off the plane was because..

  • United wanted to move some of their crew, some of their employees to another city

  • so, they didn't overbook it, they just wanted to move their people

  • *laughs*

  • so they're like we're going to throw away people that paid for their ticket

  • You're out

  • So, what happened was they said, does anyone want to make uhh $400

  • well, uhh, we'll fly you in tomorrow at 2pm

  • No one. Absolutely no one takes that offer because who the fuck wants to stay a night in another city

  • until 2PM

  • So, then they said they'll select some people at random

  • And they don't select the first class, by the way, they select whoever paid the lowest first

  • Four people were selected, and this man did refuse to leave his spot for the United Crew members

  • And this is what happened

  • In video:*screams as he is being forcefully removed*

  • I was so confused about it at first

  • I was like, how can you throw away someone on the plane if he's already entered

  • Like, why was he allowed to enter if he's not allowed to enter?

  • I'm so confused *laughs*

  • Apparently, they fucking let him back in again. Drag him out.. and he comes running back!

  • Where did all that blood come from?

  • That wasn't there before.. What did they do to him?

  • First of all, flight was from Chicago to Louisville

  • I looked that up on Google Maps,

  • It's a short flight, it's like an hour long

  • It cost £174

  • But they offered £400 for people to exit?

  • Why didn't they just book them on a flight, if you need people to go so badly?

  • It'll be cheaper!

  • This whole thing could have been avoided!!

  • As horrible as this event is..

  • The memes, as always, are delicious

  • *laughs*

  • You know, we were blessed with Pepsi

  • but United..

  • Thank you!

  • In video: *audio that I cannot be bothered to type out*

  • In video: United Nations.. Fuck you!

  • *laughs*

  • I love it so much

  • It's always great, just paying for expensive plane tickets to then getting dragged the fuck out of it

  • I guess, I guess, they got their employee training video from The Dark Knight

  • The thing that bothers me the most about this situation is..

  • it's something I'm thinking constantly about, is if only. IF ONLY

  • That man.. had a pepsi

  • This whole thing, could have been resolved instantly.

  • There would not have been a problem, if he just said-

  • -Excuse me Sir, I would just like to keep my seat, they say no, he's like..

  • -well, can I interest you in this pepsi

  • * laughs*

  • Ohh my god

  • So, the memes on Twitter are absolutely amazing

  • Here we see the exchange that went down with Kylie Jenner

  • Amazing

  • United, "If we cannot beat our competitors, we beat our customers"

  • *laughs*

  • Board as a doctor, leave as a patient.

  • We'll seat you. Then we'll beat you.

  • This is some great PR. This is some excellent PR

  • I do have a feeling that uhh United is not gonna face this problem any longer

  • You know? I have a feeling there's not gonna be too many overbookings any longer

  • Luckily

  • Oh I love this one

  • *laughs*

  • *reads screen*

  • Now, the thing is the CEO of United made a statement

  • It reads like this

  • *reads screen again*

  • No, no

  • Oh sorry, that wasn't it.

  • He made a completely different statement, basically the equivalent of a Youtuber apology

  • *laughs*

  • Trust me, I know

  • Basically saying, well I'm sorry it's your fault

  • The CEO of United, god bless you!

  • Amazing

  • He basically -- I'm quoting directly-- I apologise for having to re-accommodate these customers

  • There was also a leaked email coming from the CEO of United

  • Basically, uhh, showing no sign of remorse or empathy

  • For the situation

  • *reads screen*

  • That we studied from the Dark Knight

  • From the Dark Knight movie

  • *reads*

  • He came from Pepsi

  • Our lord and saviour

  • Why don't you ask this guy.. and what he thinks about this statement

  • Airlines are all fucked

  • Okay?

  • Some of them, are just more fucked than others

  • Clearly, United is now apart of that list

  • I think everyone who has flown somewhat frequently has had a bad experience

  • I've had a similar experience like this - I didn't get beaten

  • Okay

  • I had a connecting flight once

  • The flight was delayed but I made it to the terminal in time

  • Before they even started boarding the plane

  • But they refused to let me on the flight because they thought that since the plane was delayed-

  • -that I wouldn't make it

  • So they had, without telling me, or without doing anything, they just booked me on another flight

  • And so, seeing everyone just getting on the plane

  • When I'm just like, why aren't you letting me on the plane?

  • It's one of the most frustrating things I ever had to deal with

  • When I was gonna visit Marzia

  • The first time we dated

  • And I was just so annoyed that I wouldn't make it to her in time

  • I understand this guy refusing to leave

  • He paid for the ticket, he bought the ticket

  • You can't sell someone something that you don't have

  • That's fraud

  • If you ask me what United did, is fraud!

  • I hope this guy gets reimbursed for what happened

  • and no, I'm not talking 400$

  • in money, that most likely you have to spend at the airport

  • or in new plane tickets

  • Alright, that was this video

  • Let me know if you enjoyed! Leave a like if you did!

  • I'll see you tomorrow with another one

  • Stay awesome bros

Don't you just love flying
