United Airlines staffer pretends bag is too big for carry on

Last time I flew United, they were letting people board without lifting a finger to try to stop the stream of folks with multiple carry-ons (above the normal limits). By the time 2/3 of the passengers had boarded, they ran out of space in the bins, and forced the rest of us to gate-check. I had never witnessed that kind of laissez faire attitude among the gate staff and plane crew before. Blew my mind.

Between the kind of bullshit pointed out in this article and the “cram the puppy in the bin” atrocity a few days ago, I have no further interest in flying United. Friendly skies, my ass.
