United- kind hearted- need not fly...


Our employee was sent to Chicago on a United Airlines flight for the Lollapalooza show this weekend. On the Sunday night when his flight should have been returning- his flight was cancelled. The flight he was moved to was full- he was told he would be given a free upgrade, free ticket & a hotel room- Sounds nice enough! He decided to take it... today he arrives at the airport and all flights are cancelled for mechanical problems. He is asked to take an economy flight home- "no way I have a first class ticket", he says. They send him away after he waited an hour and a half in line. He is given $10 for food for the day and told to board a plane tomorrow... upset he says how can I eat on ten bucks- they tear up the ticket and give him $15. He is now setting in a shifty hotel in a bad part of Chicago wondering how the nice guy finished last! He no longer wants his free ticket, has spent hours talking to customer service in India and just wants to get home. They want to put him in the back of the plane on an economy flight- but he refuses... "After all I've been through- I'm flying out first class"!

We're contacting the media in Chicago & Los Angeles...

He can be reached in his dirty hotel room.

I don't know if the media is gonna jump all over Trevor's story, I think the kid that got seperated from his parents at the airport, or AA and the luggage belt troubles outweight Trevor's plight of volunteering his seat (as anyone here can attest, it seems no one is given a free hotel, ticket, upgrade, etc) So i'm assuming Trevor volunteered his seat. Now here's the thing, he didn't originally have a first class seat, but he needs to get home, so he'd rather stay over a second night, in a "dirty" hotel room, rather than fly out when given the opportunity? If getting home is important, he should take that seat at the back of the plane or else risk spending another night in that dirty room.
