I’m truly shocked (should I be?) at how what should be a semi intelligent group falls for clickbait scams for engagement so easily.

Druff is 10000% right on what he posted, plane cannot move with overheads open. Why DR would even try and claim this was “probably” just before takeoff amazes me.

Part 2 of this is the reality that UA would never fly a plane this empty from Jersey when they do it multiple times a day. The flight would be cancelled and the few passengers moved to a later flight. PERIOD.

Here is today’s United schedule from Liberty showing 7, yes 7 flights from EWR to LAS. Also note this is the only airport they fly to Vegas out of from Jersey so it’s obviously the airport. They also flew 7 flights yesterday as well. You don’t do this when the planes are empty.

Thanks for making my point about the nonsense out there looking for clicks.

Edit: Just went on the United site which anyone can do and look at the available seating on all 7 flights today. Every flight is well over 50% full with few FC seats available across the 7. Basic economy style tickets are available starting at $139 one way, which isn’t bad for a cross country flight last minute.
