Waiting until the price goes up enough to make it worth taking the money is the whole point.

My apology, I misspoke. I meant purposely waiting as in they're already fine with X amount but are intentionally forestalling the acceptance just to get more money outta it. Though I guess if said passenger gets too greedy and keeps stalling someone is bound to accept the amount before them.

Couldn't giving too much have a negative effect as well? As the flight attendants raises the "bid" I can imagine some customers almost fighting for the extra money. Imagine if some passengers purposely wait on accepting the amount until the compensation reaches something they're satisfied with.

Sounds like you've never set foot in a nightclub before.

Only once in Las Vegas. Friends and I were out there for a conference and after we were done went to some nightclub at the Tao. If it weren't for my friends being there I would have hated the experience. There are a few other times in Los Angeles and San Diego for friends birthdays but not sure if they were really nightclubs. They weren't as crowded but still noisy and with overpriced drinks.

I'm never one for clubs due to the noise, crowd, bloody expensive drinks, etc. (basically everything clubs are known for) but I can't help but wonder if this is just some glorified LAN with a similar size crowd, noise level, and bloody expensive drinks.

Still, I can imagine my friends and me visiting this place if the prices are reasonable for the location. I wonder how well it'll stay afloat outside of the major tournaments. I think EVO is usually hosted at MGM.

Basic automotive repair is something they should teach children in school

Agreed

Seconded. I'd admit, I didn't enjoy working on our family car with my dad as a kid but years later I'm glad he taught me what he knew. It baffles me something as simple as switching out a flat tire for the spare is beyond the capability of some people.

I know with roadside assistance certain knowledge is probably not necessary but I'd rather spend the 15-20 minutes getting my hands dirty and doing it myself than waiting 40+ minutes for a professional to arrive and do it for me.

Though I have had my idiotic moments as well. There was a week where my engine randomly had trouble starting and I just couldn't figure out what it was. Called AAA one time only to find out the connection to the battery was loose. Of all the things I looked at I failed to make sure the connection was secure. I apologized to the AAA tech for wasting his time.

Well maybe not all memorized. I'm sure stuff like the various tables and whatnot are used as reference material. I'd admit the 1040-EZ form is far cry in simplicity compared to the 1040-A form but if you're trained in this field of work I'd imagine you have to have most of the stuff memorize to work as efficiently as possible.

I was lazy this year and put it off until last week. Normally I'm done around February. My return was weird though. Both in 2015 and 2016 I claimed only myself. In 2015 I got back $15 whereas this year I got back about $1,500. When I checked my W-2 form from 2016 somehow I didn't claim myself so was tax the full amount in 2016.

I used the 1040-A form this year instead of 1040-EZ form. Actually felt a bit overwhelmed and the majority that the 1040-A asked for didn't even apply to me. I shoulda stayed with the 1040-EZ form. For some reason Franklin Templeton never send me a 1099-DIV form. Supposedly because the interest is so little they're not obligated to do it. Though I thought reinvestment still count.

This isn't about unexpected delays. They book more than they can fit so that they can maximize their profit.

Good point, apple and oranges then from what I'm saying. Overbooking is well within the airliner control so it wouldn't be a burden that the passengers should taken into account.

Why is this poor planning?

It depends on the flight, layovers, weather, time of the year, etc. My first time having a layover in Denver I didn't think much about the weather and unfortunately my flight was delayed due to a storm. I was kicking myself for not paying a little more and taking a straight flight to my destination.

The airliner can only do so much to try and get passengers to their destination on time. Some delays are beyond their control so sometimes some burden might be on the passenger to account for that.

I think it is no different from driving to an important event. If the GPS suggest it'll take one hour you shouldn't necessarily leave one hour away. There's still the time to find parking or walk over and worse case scenario an accident that no one expected. Certain events are beyond our control so depending on the importance of the destination, a buffer is sometime needed.

I'm sure each passenger have varying degree of "importance" in getting to their destination but imagine if the passengers chosen resulted in missing out on a funeral, wedding, operation, etc, etc. Some won't care but imagine the repercussion from that. Though depending on the importance of the trip I'm sure some folks do book flights to arrive a day or two early to account for delays but sometimes that isn't always feasible.

Contracts work both ways. If you're found in violation by sneaking in extra guests then the proprietor can seek damages.

Touche and it seemed that's what Tami may have tried to do by saying $50 a night isn't enough but opened her mouth a bit too much. Given how frugal some Asians are, I can see how the negative stereotype view on some Asians would lead some into believing we're just trying to cheat the system.

i like how everyone is acting shocked and outraged that this is happening, yet no one offers their spot to stop it. bunch of cowards. perfect analogy of our culture today.

In this particular case with giving up your seat, I think yielding to the request of the airlines will only further enforce their belief that they can continue this practice. Yielding would be the "coward" approach in my opinion because you're not standing up against an improper practice. You're just letting the system push you around. If all the passengers united and refuse to allow anyone to leave despite the delayed flight, of course this will never happen, more than likely that will light a fire under the airline arse.

It will usually work out despite the uncertainty that they can get more or less no shows.

That's my beef with this though. Just because the statistics suggest it'll work out doesn't mean it is a practice that should be done. Hell, some passengers don't buy insurances for cancelling their flights so the airline is more than likely to still get their money from the passenger who isn't flying.

At the same time maybe Suh should have asked the host much sooner.

That's not her obligation. If the host agreed to a price then it's a contract unless it was agreed to under false pretenses.

Yer got a point there. Though honestly I am not sure how Airbnb hosts can enforce their guest limitation rules. Suh could very well have said nothing to Tami and the host would be none the wiser. When I booked a house via Airbnb in Las Vegas, the host was actually in Las Vegas so could check up on us.

My friends and I have booked two beds rooms before despite there being 5-6 of us. We just share the beds and sleep on the floor. I think in most cases motels/hotels will not allow that and if caught we might be forced out or forced to book another room.

Your average traveler might not plan for extra days when traveling for fun or for business. If a storm is causing a delay for all flights and might result in folks missing out on a day of vacation or a business meeting that's beyond anyone's control.

But if the airline is asking folks to waste away some of their vacation time or potentially miss a business meeting that is something they shouldn't and can't be asking. Not apple and oranges but I attended a conference once and due to a storm at my layover location my flight was delayed. If I had accepted the next free flight I would have miss out on the entire reason I was attending the conference. I was trying to minimize cost so didn't book to arrive a day early.

It is unlikely everyone on a flight is in a situation where they can't arrive late but sometimes even getting a free flight or free hotel room simply isn't good enough.

Zangulus posted...

he thought he was better than other people

That's the thing though. Why is him keeping to his schedule any less important than the other passengers? It's beyond stupid in my opinion to risk overbooking for the sake of maximizing profit. Of course in the end the airliners won't care. Losing some customers from overbooking will be made up from the profit in overbooking.

I'd imagine most folks here would at least maintain some level of courtesy in real life compared to their online personality.

Like how does Airbnb work?

I've only used it once for a trip in Las Vegas. It is almost no different from reserving a motel/hotel room except there's no room service. You make a request to the host for X days and the host can choose to accept you or not. Most hosts have rules in-place (i.e. don't disturb the neighbors, no parties, etc) and can put a limit on the number of guests. The house that we stayed at had no limit on guests whereas other houses that the host owned had a limit and would charge extra per guest. The nice thing about Airbnb was how much cheaper it was compared to the motel/hotels in Las Vegas during CES.

"If you think 4 people and 2 dogs are getting a room for $50 a night on Big Bear mountain during the busiest weekend of the year..you are insanely high"

That's where I'm stump. The host should have made it known beforehand whether or not there's a limit on guests/pets and the cost to go beyond that limit. At the same time maybe Suh should have asked the host much sooner.
