I don't hope anyone gets fired over something like this. And chances are with labor laws and union protection they won't, but I do hope the fines from DOT begin to have an effect on how United treats its customers after they have messed up. Sadly, in a genuine customer focused business this doesn't have to come as a result of a regulatory government agency forcing it. Small government advocates lose out when crap like this happens and it becomes clear that business' will not do what's right on their own.
