No it's not, I was asking where the weather was not fine since someone was posing that as a reason.

The person you quoted didn't say that was the reason but gave it as a possibility

And to assess the probability of that possible reason I simply asked if anyone knew where such bad weather was.

United has finally released a new statement. Too little too late IMO:

Yes it is. Weather is a part of airline operations. There will always be delays/cancellations due to weather. Airlines need to have contingency plans in place for that. So yes, bad planning.

People say the guy shouldn't have acted like a child. If he just got up and walked off the plane, we wouldn't be having this conversation and airlines would continue screwing over their customers.

Actually I posted it as a possibility - not a reason.

Thank you. Excellent reading comprehension!

I didn't see your post when I posted stating the same thing you expressed here.

Weather is out of your control plain and simple

I called it a "possible reason" in a later post. My question was literal and the intent was not to say "that's a bunch of bull, there was no bad weather anywhere" but to simply ask - since I was out of the country last weekend - if you were basing that possibility on known bad weather, or if anyone else in this nationwide forum might readily be able to say weather was bad in their area.

nothing had anything to do with this. They broke him up, caused injuries and treated a citizen like dog crap. Ive already "reached out" to Munoz and informed him none of our church groups across the country will be using United Airlines for the foreseeable future.
