use capital letters or punctuation.

Ok, I’m sorry. That was a cheap shot. Clearly, you have some sort of
severe developmental disability. You state in your opening sentence that
you have a difficult time comprehending how others are able to dress
themselves. So if “SOCKS THEN SHOES” is tough one to remember,
you can’t be expected to remember to press the ‘shift’ key and another
letter at the same time when you start a sentence.

Seriously, you would have achieved a more coherent arguement had
you eaten random dictionary entries then barfed them onto a page.

So let’s review your email point by point –

First: The “fares contraction.” Um…OK, I have no idea what this
means. I tried putting it in Google, and came up with nothing.

So I guess you got me on that one. United might not have been the first
to think up the “fares contraction.” I’ll give you that. But if this “fares
contraction” thing has anything to do with the way they price tickets, I
don’t care if they were the first or the last to think it up. It makes no
goddamn sense and it drives customers away.

Moving on to your second point: You might want to look up “iata.”
Okeedokey – either your thick, palsied fingers missed a key when you
typed “data,” or you want me to seek out the International Air Transport
Association. It’s probably the first one. Please put down your sippy cup
next time you try to type.

Trudging painfully to point #3 - your poorly worded assertion that the
loss of UAL will cause five airlines to dominate the market and raise
prices to staggering levels. Hmm…try to get your freakishly
disproportionate head around this one – Supply and Demand.  If the
price goes up too high, people will stop buying the product. What do
you think drove UAL to near-ruin before 9/11? It was their shitty prices,
primarily. Better run airlines came along, offered cheaper tickets, and
people bought them instead of UAL's tickets. This pattern of economic
survival of the fittest will continue with or without United.

I flew Southwest this week. I got to my destination and back on a last-minute
ticket that cost less than $250. United would have charged three times
that amount, and probably would have been an hour late.

Fuck United. I hope they are purchased by Hooters Air for cents on the
dollar.

Hey, thanks for your email! If English isn’t your primary language, then
I apologize for mocking your poor use of it.
