United Airlines is personalizing in-flight marketing as the carrier seeks to cash in on passenger data.

    For those of you contemplating ways of covering up the ads:

    This is the same airline that beat the shit out of that doctor because the airline overbooked the flight. For your own safety, do not cross this airline.

      The Chicago Department of Aviation did that. The same way if the police ends up killing someone, it was not the person calling the police.

          Wow. Even Trump thought they went too far. Damn.

          And the CEO who brushed that assault off ‘suffered’ a ‘delayed promotion’. Poor thing. For saying that stuff about anyone, let alone a customer, he should have been fired, no golden parachute.

          I think the doctor’s patients should have sued the airline too, since no doubt having their doctor pounded to a pulp caused them to miss their appointments.

        “If you don’t like it don’t fly”

        Seriously just shut up.

        Edit: LMAO just saw your other comment where you actually said this sincerely. You’re a parody of yourself.

          You can, there’s a button combo. It changes sometimes but if you spam a few things I can always black it out

          But that’s not the point, it still sucks
