The Doa paradigm is in full effect. Or maybe we should call it the Dr. Strangelove effect. John Q. Public continues to get exactly what he asks for

This reformed Freight Dog and current ULCC guy says "pot, meet kettle."
And with minimal tread drift and future mud slinging, I hope United will charge this passenger for the costs associated with the unplanned landing and crew swap in SFO. I know it'll likely never happen (except possibly at one of those dirty mean ULCC's) but a couple of airline chargebacks would get the rest of the flying public in line quickly with future crew instructions.
