And cue the VERY profitable news sites asking to use your vid gratis, in perpetuity. Suggestion: $20k exclusive, $500 otherwise.

Oh, & generally the person asking you will appear as a young, attractive female. Seriously: you're an idiot not to charge them.

... said the TV producer, LOL.

Said the guy not denigrating the young women working in my industry. That's me.

Oh, like that's not a conscious thing. Don't make me screengrab a dozen examples for you, Harrison.

Not a conscious thing? You're implying professionals on assignment desks in news rooms across country are hired for their gender and looks?

I'd be willing to bet many of them are middle-aged white males with cute blonde avatars. The scam works better.

Is this legit? There is no context to the video.

The incident unfortunately looks legit, but this statement not so much. Apologize written the British way (apologise) by a US airline?

Maybe they Britified it, but seems strange to me that a US airline would offer British English statement on an incident that happened in US.

You genuinely think it could be fabricated?

I don't. I just found the British English strange. Maybe united did that for British audiences or the newspaper took it upon itself to do it

No such thing as British or US English. There's the Queen's English and there are mistakes.

This takes my "dont fly US airlines b/c of horrible customer experience" to whole new level

That's scary. Being treated like a criminal in front of hundreds of people... when you paid for your seat...

It's called being not white unfortunately.

Perfectly legal by airlines. It's the contempt they show to paying customers that is outrageous.
