Anything that happens on the ground, can happen in the air.
Obviously, there is a human factor behind this unfortunate "glitch". Someone had to input the figures into the system and it flew out into cyber-space in milliseconds. And in those milliseconds, the "greedy" people displayed their ugly heads and devoured it like a bunch of scavenging vultures. I know "Common Sense" left civilization awhile back but there are those that still carry that all important attribute to one's mentality. Although, ethics and morality are closing in on being another mental extinction. Does anyone look at something anymore and say to themselves, "This is too good to be true!!" ? And they still follow up on it because they are in that "greedy" mode and want something for almost nothing and/or they think that they have hit the "motherlode"! No wonder people are scammed out of Millions, if not Billions of $ a year...all in the name of "greed". They think they have won the Nigerian Powerball! When they find out that they have been scammed...they run around in circles trying to find someone to blame. This error is on UAL and the person who made the error. No doubt, that person is now filling out applications for other employment. No. United should not honor a ticket at that price. All of United's "Goofs" are due to management having the lack of management. Fortunately, it doesn't trickle down to the Flight Crew and Inflight Crew training!
Now that's what I am talking about!
Of course not! No one in their right mind would ever expect United to honor that price. That's not the issue. What is the issue and is most troubling here is that in an industry where 99.999% is not enough - United has demonstrated that it is lapse and careless to allow it to happen in the first place, and it is public knowledge. Everyone now knows it! Once management and operational problems, such as this event, become public, the question is what is actually happening behind the scenes. Usually these events are the tip of the iceberg. Something is definitely not right at United.
On the nail Crocket..coulbe a tin or worms here. Lets just hope that engineering and flight crews are well away from those worms.
You might very well be right. They might see it as a great way to attract new customers!
Perhaps United is considering, on those tickets, a surcharge to pressurize the cabin. ;-)
