Chicago Lawyer Settles with Southwest Airlines in Class Action over Drink Coupons

Link doesn't work my friend

We really need more lawyers. I don't think there's enough.

There we go. Thanks.

What do you do if you find yourself in a room with a lawyer, a tiger, and a gun with two bullets...


Shoot the lawyer twice and take your chances with the tiger.

Ya know, at first this settlement ****ed me off. Then it occurred to me; the only way for them to redeem their free drink (which in reality costs pennies) is to - wait for it - BUY a ticket on us.

Quite possibly a brilliant move by SWA legal.
