  1. @Hystery There is quite a bit of guessing in that article. She makes some good points, but saying removing one bag of peanuts from ONE plane will be significant in saving it fuel, I just don't believe that. A more through article: http://newsroom.united.com/news-releases?item=124155&mobile=No
  2. I'll admit using Jetblue was a poor example, but to say that 18 out 21 million is too many people that were bumped is highly exaggerated. Now I fully agree that if you have already boarded the plane, taken your seat and settled in, you should not be kicked off. Also to say that one less person on a plane saves fuel is so ignorant, there are so many factors that come into play when dealing with aerodynamics and fuel consumption. Here are some links to that: https://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/range.html https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-the-weight-on-passenger-airliners-affect-fuel-usage-and-flight-time Also, it is not some lie or grand conspiracy that airlines are trying to make there tickets cheaper. Airlines are constantly trying to find ways to make their tickets cheaper, because they know the number one determiner for someone wanting to fly is cheaper ticket prices. That's not to say that airlines are humble, but it's business and they will do almost anything to gain competitive advantage. @TheDivineHustle I completely agree that you should not be kicked off the plane, which is why there should be a system that determines whether or not a flight will enough seats before the people board. It's worth noting though that in united's case, overbooking wasn't the problem, the problem was that the four pilots did not take earlier flights and forced another flight to give up seats for them, not only that, but the pilots did not match the price the customer paid for the tickets.
  3. Okay, you people clearly did not watch the video, I'll elaborate further now. One of the biggest reasons why airlines overbook is to reduce ticket prices, that's not to say that airlines are altruistic or humble. Airlines in the past and today are constantly trying to find ways to get the most money for each seat and the reason for that is the one I just stated. This is simply in response to the large majority of consumers who want one thing, cheaper flights. And the more money a company can get out of overbooking, the cheaper a company can make their flights and the more competition there is. Also, it is legitimate, largely depending on the airport. Let's say someone is taking a flight from Bangor, Maine to Washington, DC, in this situation, an airline has no reason to overbook, because there are no trains and no buses that go in that direction, plane or car is your only viable option. Now, lets say someone is leaving from Chicago to Dallas or some other location. There are so many ways a person could go, train, bus, maybe even a taxi (if the driver is willing that is). With these options, sometimes it's really no big deal if a person misses their flight, because there are options available. Lastly, you people are exaggerating this, it's not like everyday, tens n thousands of people are bumped off their flights, did you know that in the year 2013, Jetblue airways only had to bump 18 out of 21 million people? That is extremely low. Bottom line, the money that airlines pay each year to compensate those 500,00 people that are bumped is far less than the millions they lose out on not overbooking, unless you're united, then it becomes major PR disaster. Look, even to this day, airlines are still constantly trying to improve there models so that they can sell these nonexistent seats safely. In the year 1990, 16/10000 passengers were bumped from their flights. In the year 2017, that number has reduced to 9/10000, and with smarter programs, that number will get smaller.
  4. There is actually a legitimate reason why airlines overbook, it's simply better for business, the videos below will explain that.
  5. @Durcaz It always good not to spend money if you don't have to.
  6. There is a lot you can do with $2000, I would suggest first getting a graphics card that is at least 1050 or 1050i, for good visuals that is. And of course get an Intel I7 core processor.
  7. I got there at the airport, checked in, the worker said I was bumped, so I was put on a later flight, I was able to get on another flight in less than 90 minutes. Now for your other question, I would be mad, but that's never happened to me, so I'm not entirely sure. I definitely think airlines should wait before boarding the plane if it's overbooked, that way no one has to get kicked off.
  8. "Hey you stay out of this"! Look I feel bad for the lady, but I'm sorry, the way that flight attendant handled that situation was unprofessional and funny. I laughed so hard at that. But to answer your question, I'm not sure what to think, I don't travel a lot (mainly because I'm poor and in college), but the times I've flown, it was southwest airlines, never had a problem with them. I was bumped one time, but was immediately put on another flight, got out the airport in less than 90 minutes. It seems bias, but I really like southwest, it's affordable and good service, unlike spirit.
  9. From what I heard, car modding isn't hard, it just takes a lot of patience.
  10. Okay, what about chargers? Those are great, and I'm not talking about that ugly 2015 one.
  11. Since this topic has developed into a "let's criticize the police" topic. I want to ask just one question: What exactly is wrong with the American police of today? No seriously, I want someone, anyone to answer this question. Also, about systematic racism: please read this book, not every thing is right, but overall excellent book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1595586431/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494035366&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=mass+incarceration+new+jim+crow&dpPl=1&dpID=51GxNVbFjCL&ref=plSrch
  12. http://www.gtainside.com/en/gta5/cars/97764-2013-dodge-charger/ http://www.gtainside.com/en/gta5/cars/95621-2014-dodge-charger/ Hey, it's a 2013, but I found one. Never mind, I found a 2014.
  13. Well good luck with that, GTA inside might have a model.
  14. For the 2014 charger, are you trying look for an unlocked model? Also, I would go with a conservative setup for the gang units.
  15. Recommended graphics card should be at least 1050 or 1050i.
  16. Some petition on the internet isn't going to bring back a thirty year old car. Your best bet is to go to a car museum where they have old police cars you can look at.
  17. That laptop does not have graphics a card, which is a huge factor for gaming.
  18. Can someone explain what's so great about the deluxe version, that is has to be $100?
  19. The cheapest gaming PC that I know of that will get you decent gameplay is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015PYYDMQ/ref=psdcmw_13896615011_t2_B01LXCBXQO
  20. My name is Chester, 18, I live in North Texas. I play LSPDFR so I can run red lights without getting in trouble and set civilians on fire for honking at me too long. On a serious note, I play it because it's so fun being able to play as a cop, the chases, the shootouts, the random events, really gives you an adrenaline rush. Always fun arresting drunks. Ever since I was little, I was fascinated with police things and whatnot, every chance I got, I would collect police cars and play around with them, (if I could keep track of them that is), ;). Now that I'm in college, I've made friends with a lot of the officers here, including the dispatchers! They're all cool once you get to know them. With all that said, I would like the controller because currently I don't have one, my other one just completely shut down on me, I dropped it a month ago, and it hasn't turned on since, its really boring not being able to play most games on my PC. So there you have it, my story.
  21. Yeah, basically. Now if the mods are unrelated, then I guess it's safe to use then.
  22. What vehicle scripts are you using? That could be the problem.
  23. Have you ever chased an Inferneus or a super GT? Pegassi!? Those are all fairly hard to catch up with.
  24. Well, a couple years back, I watched a guy who was playing GTA 4 and apparently, having ELS 8.5 activated crashed his game, so I was just curious about GTA 5.
