AMERICAN AIRLINES WILL GIVE AWAY YOUR SEAT BEFORE YOU’VE ACTUALLY MISSED YOUR FLIGHT
the system is called AURA. it predicts who won’t make their connection and rebooks them in advance, even if you made it in time.
gate staff physically can’t reverse it once it happens. the algorithm got it wrong, and you’re the one dealing with the fallout.
this isn’t one isolated complaint. a Washington Post columnist, a media consultant, and dozens of passengers in a separate Miami incident all described the exact same thing.
the airline’s prediction accuracy is 90%. the remaining 10% are real people who lost their seat over something that never happened.
here’s what to do if it’s you: don’t walk away from the gate quietly. demand a written denied boarding statement, that’s your legal right, not a favor from the agent. it’s official denied boarding, not “the flight is closed.”
under DOT rules, you’re owed up to $2,150 if you were at the gate 15+ minutes before departure with a valid boarding pass. that’s not a courtesy from the airline, it’s an obligation under 14 CFR Part 250.
don’t settle for “just take the next flight” until you get what you’re legally owed, not what’s convenient for them.
🚨#BREAKING: A German soccer fan who flew to the USA but was fearful about coming because of news about criminals and people being mean...
...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel
The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip.
He said leaving America will hurt worse than watching Germany get knocked out of the World Cup.
"I fall in love with America. I'm sorry, it's just so emotional. Americans are not rude... if we are together, we can achieve great things."
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@MrBradleyTodd@TheJacobTurner This was the moment...
And the absolutely horrible evaluation of talent, throwing good money after bad, & playing the contract instead of the player.
They've been living off of 2011 and hoping to just get into the playoffs in a terrible division.
IRS: you owe us taxes
Me: how much do I owe?
IRS: you get to figure that out
Me: can I just pay what I want?
IRS: no we know exactly how much you owe but you have to figure it out
Me: what if I’m wrong?
IRS: jail
Happy tax day!

@TK1STYLE@RandyKarraker There was endless debate in STL about the economic impact of pro sports when Rams wanted public financing. I learned from "experts" back then that your statements above are complete fabrications.
In fact, the experts assured us that we'd be better off without an NFL team.
I’m still processing today’s news that I was personally targeted by my government for suppression of my speech rights. I’m extremely angry but also just sad at what our government has become.
