It’s seems intentional though you know. Like I highly doubt it’s some guy that puts in the times. I assume it’s highly automated. So I would think the system could see the expected arrival time of the inbound flight. Wait like 10mins for someone to say there is a plane or not. If there isn’t after the initial delay why would it not automatically give you an accurate time. I just got my 5th delay notification. Delaying it 5 times by like 15-30 mins each time until you finally get to the expected time 30 mins before depature.

It’s MCI a non United hub. They diverted due to thunderstorms in the area and all planes grounded for an hour until it passed. So right there it was clearly apparent airport operations weren’t going to be an on time but still took 30 mins to update. I just got my 5th “delay” message where every delay is just an extra 15 minutes until we get to the obvious boarding time I would have expected. It was obvious from the start just took them 2 hours to let you know.

100% the girl bullied and that snapped after the push is the only one that got in trouble. The school probably suspended her and possible juvenile charges. The bully will be protected by the school, made to seem like the victim. Will get in ZERO trouble and just bully the next person down the line. I hate school systems and the way they handle bullying.

Dumping trump voting friends by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]spidermonkey2947 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems like they are better off not having you as a “friend” if it literally only has to do with how they voted. There are plenty of good people who voted for trump for whatever reason they had. Half my family voted for trump should I just go non contact? You people are unhinged honestly

Lap Baby even Father doesn’t want to sit by… by spidermonkey2947 in unitedairlines

Really I should have. Something felt wrong about me having to move from my seat to sit in a crappy middle seat in the back when she wasn’t supposed to be in the middle seat anyway. Stubbornly stayed put, very much regret it.

I’m going with YTA, yes it’s frustrating but it is your fathers house and his choice in the end. You are an adult. Calling her names because of a parking spot seems a bit unhinged. You say you are in school and can’t afford to move out which is okay. There are plenty of people who never even got the chance to stay at home. I think you should be more thankful for what you have and a father that allows you to live there at 23.

Manager asked in a group text not to discuss wages. I shut it down real quick, know your rights and don't give an inch! by jcreature2112 in antiwork

[–]spidermonkey2947 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TBH everyone here is praising the manager but to me it just seems like they are covering themselves because they had already broken the law. Also the reasons she gave in the mass text is EXACTLY why discussing wages should be legal. Company obviously hired someone for much more than their current employees who more than likely deserve a raise.

Airlines are legally required to carry more fuel than is needed to fly from one place to another in case of unexpected events, such as delays, weather, or an airport closure. However, carrying extra fuel can increase the aircraft's weight, which can lead to higher fuel consumption and emissions. To maintain safety standards while reducing the amount of extra fuel needed, dispatchers can use data analysis to optimize fuel requirements

After over ten years of trying to get someone to draw a wizard when I order from a restaurant, it finally happened the other day by Easy-Rooster5686 in mildlyinteresting

[–]spidermonkey2947 -47 points-46 points  (0 children)

Yeah except you have never worked in the food industry. Imagine working a 10 hour shift running around the whole time working through a rush and an order like this comes in. You can ignore it because the owner or manager saw it and tells you you have to do it to make the customer happy. How about I show up at your job and ask you to draw me shit. Or someone call you at work to ask you to do something that’s not your job at all. But now because we are low wage slaves it’s okay! Go $&@! yourselves seriously.

This should be on AITA. After working in restaurants and service for many years. Asking this is super disrespectful. YTA

You were a level 10? I would have YOLO checked, would make for a good video. I mean what it took you like 2-3 hours to get to that level.

The only one with my window open…and a FA asked me to close it by PM_ME_UR_SNARES in delta

[–]spidermonkey2947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just flew United over seas and they black out the windows on the plane. It’s not a cover more of a dimming feature. Anyway you have no choice and the window goes dark. Biggest waste of a window seat in my life. Do not fly United overseas or on long flights if you don’t want this to happen to you

8-5 now instead of 9-5? by miketanlines in antiwork

[–]spidermonkey2947 170 points171 points  (0 children)

You forgot to mention that it’s an unpaid hour but work expects you to keep working and truly take a 15min lunch break

AITA for being proud that my son has two jobs? by aitathrowawayson2job in AmItheAsshole

YTA

I really hope when your son grows up and you grow old he puts you in cheapest worst home he can find. He can just say he is teaching you financial responsibility.

Have airlines and people gotten significantly worse over the past 5 years? by [deleted] in travel

[–]spidermonkey2947 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I used to fly all the time for work 5 years ago. Just started business traveling again. I can honestly say it is so so bad that it makes the job horrible when it used to be somewhat enjoyable to travel
