High Tech Executive shamed over despicable behavior in Fly-By Priority Line at SFO
San Francisco, California, May 19, 2105

High Tech executive mike_la_jolla is being ruthlessly shamed on the Internet for behavior so obnoxious, so despicable, and so inhuman that we at FlyerTalk PR are having trouble finding words to match his inappropriate actions.

“He is A-List Preferred, and he tried to check in his wife in the ‘Fly-By Priority’ lane. This action, EVERYBODY knows, is prohibited since she wasn’t on the same confirmation number", said the SFO Southwest Airlines gate attendant, who asked to remain anonymous. “I was already having a very bad day”, he continued, “and he just ruined it with this contemptible behavior.” His actions delayed better behaved passengers, who were waiting patiently in line, by 60 seconds or more.

In a thread on FlyerTalk, the abuse poured in, at times reaching epic proportions both in size and volume. “You sound like a real peach” said Nirvana91. “DYKWIA” was a common theme, mindlessly parroted by several posters attempting to be cute and snarky. Private messages referred him to this YouTube video:
. There was a discussion that a new circle of Dante’s Hell should be created as punishment (between 4 and 5 seemed to be the consensus).

mike_la_jolla couldn't be reached for comment.

Addendum: The abuse continues unmitigated as the Internet hordes rush to insult the unrepentant traveler: OP sound like a jerk
