We all get screwed by businesses all the time but for some reason airline dickery boils me up so much more. It is so blatant and right to your face that it is infuriating.
Obviously this is a terrible story and I hope they get punished (if deserved of course) but airlines seem to take the cake more than any other business.
GE selling me a crap dishwasher, fine, they ignore correspondence and their genuinely garbage behavior shines through but somehow that makes it seem better, its at arms length. An airline has these smiling faces with these protocols where they look you in the face and lie to it and you have no recourse but to grin and bear it.
Remember that seat you paid an extra $100 for, that flight pattern you paid an extra $400 for, it's not there, its cancelled and you aren't getting any of your money back either and there is not a damn thing you can do about it. Go F yourself, oh and we could have told you this before making the trek to the airport but we know you can't call us a C in person like you could on the phone.
OH and see that police officer right over there and those customs officers beyond the doors (guys that can ruin your life), ya, I could crap in my hand and huck it at your face and they will back us, 100%, no questions.
