Funny announcements heard on the overhead at United Club
I'm sitting in one right now at SFO and over the speaker was this announcement:
"attention passengers going to Sacramento. Please see me. We are going to send you on a bus".
"attention passengers going to Sacramento. Please see me. We are going to send you on a bus".

Funniest UC announcement I ever heard was in NRT. One of the flights home was oversold in BF, and they went on the PA offering an E+ seat, BF food and a few hundred bucks for anyone who would give up their seat. For a 14 hour flight. The second time they made the announcement, several people started laughing.

I wonder if they will still their segment and 500 EQM's?
People in the club were laughing out loud. Probably more so because the agent was a little dramatic with the announcement.
"We're going to put you on a BUS!" was more like it.

About time United gets in the business of reliable transportation. At least the Bus will have an on-time departure, offers legroom, more comfy seats, and no need for a SMI/J safety demonstration. I bet it even has overhead TV monitors and you can get wifi (via cell) service I hear.

(In case you're wondering, no I don't want this to happen; today it's SFO-SMF bus, tomorrow it will be SFO-DEN "mainline" bus.)
