And the car from the movie was also used in the 2015 future scene of Back to the Future 2. :blob:

There are actually two in there; the one you linked, plus one a few spots in front of the Starfighter car. Most of those cars were either props from other movies, or concept cars on loan.

:blob: Sorry for the digression.

Indeed.

Some props from Star Trek were in The Last Starfighter or vice versa.

Now I definitely don't agree with what they did to the guy, but If I was ever in that situation I would just do what ever they said, only because in this day and age the slightest little thing done on an airplane can get you tazed, punched, choked out or shot and for me, lesser of the evils is just trying to arrange another flight. The situation sucks though

I think the 800 credit and hotel offer might have gotten me off that plane.  I've never seen offers that good for changing a flight.  I personally feel the best resolution would be to just raise that offer until someone bit.  United fucked up by letting people board that plane knowing it was overbooked, that was the second fuck up after overbooking although it is common for planes to overbook (I dont agree with it, but I think the overbooking in and of itself was not the real issue).

While I think I would be calm and just get off, at the same time, that guy causing the scene may have earned him a nice lawsuit so maybe holding your ground isn't such a bad thing.

From what I've read, it wasn't overbooked as in too many tickets sold. At the last minute, United decided to get 4 paying customers off the plane to fly 4 employees to the next city. Making a paying customer (a doctor on his way to see patients no less) leave so you can fly an employee seems like a really stupid move. Put the employees on a competing flight if you have to or offer more money. Delta paid a woman $11K to get off her flight a few months ago. Had United bumped that $800 up to $1200+, someone most likely would have bit. Now they're swimming in the shitty PR waters and lost more than that extra $400 within ten minutes of that video making its way onto the internet.

I don't think I would have gotten off. If I was on my way to the annual world finals in Vegas and you were going to force me to miss the first day because you couldn't manage your employees' schedules properly and had to give them my seat, I'd be absolutely livid.

The random selection thing seems kind of shitty to me too. What would have happened if they randomly selected a child, an elderly person, a decorated veteran, or a pregnant woman?

It's not truly random either.  I read it selects from a pool of the lowest level customer.  As in the people who bought the cheapest tickets and don't have status.  I joked with my gf yesterday that on our united flights for vacation this summer she is in jeopardy of forced removal, but I will be enjoying the vacation regardless  :lol

And I think everyone has a price point where they would sacrifice whatever their plans are.  Like if I was coming home from vacation, shit I'll take that 800 and get an extra night.  If I am on my way to vacation, well that offer needs to go up more to pay for the room I just lost a night on and the fact that I am getting a shorter vacation.  I agree, just keep raising the price, it's not even cash, just credit towards another flight so it really isn't costing as much as it seems.

Fair point. I actually did that a few years ago coming home from a trip in Florida. They offered a $500 voucher, hotel for the night, and a $30 giftcard to a restaurant of your choosing. I raised my hand right away. Called out of work the next day saying "boss, there's nothing I could do. I couldn't get off the ground".
