United Gives Sheila Jackson Lee Passenger's Seat, Claims She Cancelled Her Reservation
I'm betting that somebody at United apparently deferred to Queen Sheila's exalted status and made it look like the original passenger cancelled her own reservation on her mobile app to slide Sheila onto the plane and into Seat 1A in first class.

Oh, and Sheila played the race card. What a shock.

I wonder if she got seafood. Her quote from an a previous flight: “Don't you know who I am? I'm Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Where is my seafood meal? I know it was ordered.”

"Lee’s diva antics are a familiar sight to Washington insiders. At one point, Congresswoman Lee would require staffers to book three different first-class flights at a time each week, and she would choose which one she wanted to actually use at the last minute. Continental Airlines eventually got fed up and reportedly sent her the flight schedule of a competing airline. That was not until after Sheila Jackson Lee yelled at a flight attendant because a seafood meal she had ordered was not on the menu."

A $500 voucher would NOT have done it for me after seeing folks get $1000 cash.

Fuck a voucher as I would never fly their airline ever again.

In her district, unfortunately, she is the cream of the crop. Sad.

Here's my run in with her district.

About 20 years ago, you know, when we used paper maps and newspapers you could hold, I was living in Spring, TX, with the ex. We were both working in downtown Houston and we both wanted an apartment to use. Anyway, long story short I was driving through Sheila's 'ward' with a map and a newspaper looking for apartments when I got pulled over for driving suspiciously slow in a high crime area. The first cop that approached, realized what I was doing and grabbed the map and started to 'X' out several neighborhoods and streets, and circled some places I might like better. The second PO came to the conclusion that more 'Xs' needed to be added, and by the time they were done, almost all of Sheila's turf was covered in 'Xs'.

Nothing has changed.

Nothing new here. UAL has a long history of screwing its customers/passengers.

If true, the ploy of a false passenger electronic cancellation might be new.

SheJac represents a set aside district thanks to the Voting Rights Act.
Her district is gerrymandered so that only a black representative can win.

In my experience, one cannot simply cancel or change his flight online once he or she is checked in. You have to call. She was on the last leg of her trip so I'm inclined to believe the passenger here.

Anyway, someone canceling her flight in the middle of her trip home makes no sense to me. A crap airline with crappy customer service giving special treatment to ghetto royalty trash somehow does make perfect sense to me.

It was seat "1A" which would appeal to to majesty. Only the best.

United is lying. It is what they do.

From the linked article:

CEO, Oscar Munoz, has promised a "culture shift toward becoming a better, more customer-focused airline."
Evidently the CEO's "promise" has not filtered down the food chain, to the employees who actually interact with passengers.

I am really thankful that I am no longer working in a job that requires me to travel. I used to use the V-Tail for most business travel, but there were the occasional trips to the west coast that were just not practical at 200 mph from Florida.

I would estimate that if such had happened, there would be electronic record of it.

Having said that, nothing UAL can say today that I will believe.

When I needed to cut my trip to Idaho a few days short, I ended up buying another ticket after all the BS UAL pulled with trying to reschedule my flight. $400 bucks for the original round trip ticket. Then, another $400 to "reschedule" the return.

Do not GAS about UAL. Should I have to fly to Idaho again, it will definitely NOT be with UAL, even if I have to go via Mexico City.
