The recent post on overbooking reminds me of the "Airline" show which is shown on A&E on, I believe, Sunday night at 10 p.m. and Monday night at 10 p.m., at least locally.(ATL).
Check it out---it shows all manner of interesting problems which Southwest Airlines encounters about overbooking, missing luggage, drunken passengers, and a thousand other things. Sometimes you will be rooting for the passenger, sometimes for the airline. No doubt many of these same scenes are played out everyday on Amtrak and every other commercial transportation company in the world.
Bot for anybody with an interest in any kind of public transportatoin, it is most entertaining. And sometimes it will give us an insight into the transportation company's point of view we would not have otherwise had.
