I think you ...Anonymous thank you for your comment. I think you missed the point too! I bring this information to the masses because it is to show the seasoned traveler as well as the vacation traveler what problems may arise not matter how innocent the traveler may be for not knowing. <br /><br />I have riden in first class as well as worked in first class as a flight attendant and passengers do treat airline travel as an extension of their living room and sometimes you have to remind them that your not at home. <br /><br />Mr. Alvarez is a seasoned traveler and I'm sure he made this into a bigger situation than it warranted and it could have been resolved quickly and quietly if had spoken to a supervisor, identified himself as a VP and had them refer to his reservation profile to prove his status and frequent flyer profile. The agent could have pulled him off to the side and explained the implied rules of dresscode which are not policy at United that the airline expects qhwn passengers fly in first class.<br /><br />Many things were done wrong and could have been done better. <br /><br />I as a blogger will to a point pick what stories I choose to speak on and give my insider info that the news organizations won't give because they don't know or care to find out. So this is a matter of "substance" that you as a seasoned traveler (I presume) will find trivial and the not so seasoned traveler may find this information useful because they didn't know!<br /><br />Thank you for the comment and I always except comments good or bad because I want to hear all points of view!<br /><br />Be safe and smart when you fly!<br /><br />BlkAv8tor2003BlkAv8tor2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/17112757374517601018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439255304788097758.post-73739163761175744892009-11-10T18:52:39.732-07:002009-11-10T18:52:39.732-07:00This was big news firstly because the guy was an e...This was big news firstly because the guy was an executive for a large company.<br /><br />Secondly, he was mistaken for an employee because he only got in line when employee travelers were called up.<br /><br />Leave it to the press to make a big deal of nothing. It is sad that this day and age we call this news. I have seen this everywhere since the incident.<br /><br />The man was still let on the plane so who cares. Did he miss a family funeral, wedding, or anything else? For someone who travels in first class so often he should have known better. He also should have explained his situation instead of flipping out. Find something of substance to report on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
