United Airlines: the airline we love to hate, but we can't agree on why

@Polygeekery Bunnies mate several times a year, anyway, if I'm not mistaken.

abbit season usually ends in late February or early March.
Pennsylvania (1st google result) says
RABBIT (Cottontail) Special season for eligible junior hunters, with or without required license: Oct. 1-15 (4 daily, 12 possession).
RABBIT (Cottontail): Oct. 15-Nov. 26, Dec. 12-24 and Dec. 26-Feb. 28 (4 daily, 12 possession).I think we're missing the most important thing about this, though. These were UK people who killed the rabbit, the plane coming from there and only going to Chicago. You can hunt rabbits year round in England and Wales:
Rabbit Jan 1 – Dec 31
No close season (however certain restrictions can apply see below)However:
Further under Section 1 (3) and Ground Game Amendment Act 1906 Section 2) Firearms may only be used for such purposes between 11 December and 31 March.
Which explains why they used the chiller.

@boomzilla Maybe it's actually duck season?

Delicious. But I'd prefer if the prunes were kept away from it.

Cheesey poofs, if the picture is anything to go by.

Funny story time:
I grew up rural. My father and I regularly went hunting and I grew up eating various birds and rodents that we hunted, including rabbit and squirrel. My father used to breed rabbits for meat. Now he lives in a rural-ish area outside of our metropolis, but does not really hunt anymore as he is in his 70's and needs knee replacements. But, one day we are driving somewhere by his house and he sees a sign that says "Rabbits for sale" and stops in to buy some...for the meat.
Anyway, we are talking to the nice woman who is selling these rabbits. Of note, this happens during 4-H season in the area. Anyway, he agrees to buy 6-8 or whatever the number was. Then the woman asks if he has a cage to transport them in.
"No, I don't really need one."
-laughs- "Are you just going to turn them loose in your truck?"
"No, I was just going to knock them in the back of the head and toss them in the back."
-gasp- "YOU'RE GOING TO WHAT??? WHY??"
"Well, I am not going to eat them alive."
"THESE ARE FOR PETS OR 4-H!! NOT FOR FOOD!!!"
"Why not? It's not like they taste different,"I thought she was going to chase us out with a broom. The look on her face was priceless. Completely priceless. It was complete and utter abject horror as she envisioned her bunnies turning up as:
-
@Polygeekery I grew up rural too. We didn't hunt rabbits; we raised them. (And cows and pigs and goats and stuff.)
My mom made us kids name them things like "hamburger" and "bacon" so we knew what they were really there for and wouldn't grow too emotionally attached to them or see them as beloved pets.

He can start drooling because those where held for the meat.

Part of their shows or projects are raising animals to show. NFC how you judge which rabbit is best, but it is a thing that happens.

I don't think anyone will put living animal in the chiller over hours and expect it to survive.
What if it were a penguin?
Rabbit is not penguin.

United screwups continue, but at least they're getting better at apologizing:

You do not pour oil on the fire, regardless of whether you are legally right or not.
I have a couple of problems with this:
a) Do we not have enough oil now? Why did we bother going to Iraq if not for a surplus of oil.
b) If you wanted to lose customers (what do you mean "why?", how should I know? Politics is complicated), this is the perfect opportunity to do so.
c) Surely there's something which burns better than oil.

Pffffbt. I didn't even do that one. This last weekend though, I attended an art open house with free booze and had a 20 minute conversation with some finger painter about how I have always wanted to paint a picture of Bea Arthur using my testicles.
Because...if you are going to make up an outrageous lie to clown on an artist who finger paints, go big or go home. And if you are going to make some shit up about painting something with your balls, it should be a Golden Girl.

Not United Airlines, but it is an American airline that insists on overbooking its flights:
-
@RaceProUK Not 100% sure, but I seem to recall hearing that it's a crime in the US for a private individual to threaten someone they're having a dispute with with criminal prosecution or jail time in order to coerce them into doing what they want, as private individuals don't have the ability to actually do that; criminal prosecution is left entirely up to the government.
-
@RaceProUK Best quote from YouTube:
I wish the guy had said "This is going to cost your company A LOT of money, and this might even cost YOU your job. Have you seen the news lately?!"

@coldandtired Plane seats are ridiculous, it's not like obese or large people are rare. There is a reason couches aren't made that size.

So if you are obese people and you want comfortable flight, they can make you buy two seats.

“If Michael is successful, this throws open the doors to potentially a large amount of cases against airlines and how they’ve designed their seating and how they seat passengers,” Thomas Janson, from Shine Lawyers, told the Daily Telegraph.
...and higher ticket prices. Has the guy ever been on an airplane?
There isn't extra space.

The guy that got crushed wasn't obese, you can't force obese people to buy 2 tickets. Just increase the seats for everyone.

Yes, you can. Here, at least.

@heterodox If it wasn't a PR disaster idea they would be doing it. And what about the argument if a person is fat, will they measure passengers on check-in?
