The police were only involved when United got them involved because they did not want to offer enough compensation to bumped passengers. For once, the media got this one correct. The airlines have way too much power, and United really screwed this one up. Being bumped may work for you, but not for most people.
Should.

Of all the words of tongue and pen, should is the one that holds the most unopened possibilities.
