That was pretty well done. I'm surprised they put so much into that.

Good, give 'em what they deserve. Fuckers lost my suitcase once and it had some of my favorite shirts in it. Along with a souvenier dagger I got at the Alamo (thank god I also got a shot glass from there too) and they also had the gall to make us wait another day to go home.
FUCK YOU, UNITED AIRLINES. Next time I'll fly with you, I'll remember to hijack the plane and fly it into your headquarters.

As far as my experiences goes American's just cannot run an airline, especially your internal flights. Takes forever to get anywhere, the customer service sucks. Although in fairness most Americans seem to board before their row is called so maybe they get the airlines they deserve.
On topic I feel for the guy and the songs pretty catchy

this is funny and yet very effective
giving a company bad publicity like this usually is a good way to get what you want and it doesn't cost them in court that they would probly lose

I'm sorry, what?CantFaketheFunk said:
An airline has a fucking twitter account? No, no, NO! That is beyond stupid, and I cannot, for the sake of my mental health, believe this to be true.
Didn't Al Goldstein furiously trash United Airlines once back in the day? I'm wondering, because he raised both middle fingers to the camera and yelled. "F**K YOU UNITED AIRLINES!"
As Mr. Funk said, Twitter's actually a highly important PR resource. It allows a business to provide extremely brief updates on their activities to clients and other interested parties. Think of all the games you've waited for over the years. Well, until Twitter came along, there was nary a peep out of most companies (Blizzard leaps to mind) during the years of the development cycle. A Twitter account gives out only a 140 character blurb per tweet. So it can't say anything of extreme substance (unless it links to another website) but it does make the follower of that account feel like there is someone alive on the other end, that, in fact, there are actual human beings at the company, that the company is doing something. It also allows companies to interact with their followers using the @ message system, which leads to higher customer satisfaction all around, if you can give them an answer.Lord_Panzer said:
That's why Twitter's so popular, actually. If it were just the equivalent of a Facebook status, then there'd be no reason for it to exist. That's why all the news corps have them now and your bloggers, and even United Airlines. It's a free tool to raise a company's profile and consumer awareness.
I will say that some companies can use it for evil. UA, in this instance, tried to play off their wanton destruction of the man's guitar with a clever pun. I can imagine his reaction: "Ha. Ha. Now give me my money."
This reminds me of Maddox's battle with Orbitz [http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=orbitz_blows], although I guess United Airlines is more aware of how bad publicity can affect them, even if they aren't aware of how to treat their customers properly in the first place.
I personally think that an airline that treats their customers or their luggage (regardless of value) without respect should be out of business.
I for one will make a point of not flying 'United Airline'
On the upside, I have never heard of 'The sons of Maxwell' until now, and I enjoyed it so much I will be looking for their CD!
