Someone got UAL GOOD on guard the other day. But it could have been particularly toolish had it turned out to be a legit emergency.
They were trying to reach dispatch, and someone was convincing enough on guard without interruption to make them think they had actually raised dispatch. Well, they go on this long diatribe about a concerned passenger in distress along with all their data. (that's why it could have been bad had it been some sort of real medical emergency)
The moment he released the mic, all the butthurt guard nazi's exploded.... they couldn't handle it. That went on for a minute or so.
Then cue all the guard nazi trolls poking at the butthurt guard nazi's. That lasted another couple minutes.
Speaking of- does UAL have strange comm panels or something with regard to selecting the PA? I've heard more UA PAs on guard than any other carrier. Later on that same flight I heard one as well.
