One time I do defend big business.....

Now having said that, if you get upset with the back up plans, remember also, that the employee is NOT the CEO and is not in the boardroom, if there is a lagit problem with something it is NOT ok to take it out on the employee. It is the business model and the CEO who sets it up, not the employee at the counter.

I will say that business does too much create so much buffer between the counter and the boardroom big business does far to often pit the customer against the employee. Now, that part DOES need to stop. In this situation a better argument to be made, isn't in the moment, but maybe appeal to the company to create better back up plans that don't have you sitting a the gate for hours. But safety is always first especially with a jet.

Some adults have the impulse control of 3 year-olds.  Whatever they think goes straight to their vocal chords without being filtered by their brains.

That said, if the airlines did not treat people like shit 99% of the time maybe they'd get cut a little slack.

Griping about bad weather when flying is so futile.

Strap the kunt to a weather balloon and make sure she's holding a metal frame umbrella . . .

Again this is not "fuck big business" vs " We're rich so we know what's best for everyone".

I'd only agree that there is a huge lack of self introspection by far too much of the top in any business. To add to the crappy attitude to customers, some airlines are seeking to maximize seating as if passengers are not already sardines. That part I do agree with is shitty. But safety, especially any form of transportation, if your car/flight was crashing every other trip you would not be in business. 

Safety first especially with something like air travel. But this is what big business does. It has learned to pit the customer against the low level employee then blame the employee for what they set up, alot like a god claim. Pit the consumer against your employee to take the attention away from the head boss.

That's the wrong analogy.  Better is "if you want to fly do what we say...otherwise walk, asshole."

Makes a difference.

Ok, I can go with that, but it sounds the same. "I have money and power so fuck you if you object".

Again, I am not going to claim even with the jadedness that that dominates the top, that it is always about money. Like I said in the prior post, if every other flight ended up in flames nobody would fly. I only blame the climate of thought, not the individual. I think far too much of the top is stuck on numbers and yes greed plays a part. 

The market globally is not pragmatic. The competition is about profits far too much than it should be. The competition is not for the consumer, but a dick measuring contest between the top. If it were pragmatic as an over all climate, we'd see less stories like this, not more. But, when you can make a quick buck selling the average Joe an unrealistic utopia, yes, you are going to end up with stupid bitches like that.
