New Contest. HELP WANTED.
I need your help. In the last few weeks I've come to realize that there are some covertly intelligent individuals here in the blogosphere. Unique. Devious. Crafty. And seemingly unaware of any socially acceptable, rational and effective solutions that reach a desired outcome. If you're like me (and I know I am), you'll wanna get on up in this. Not just for the reward, but because your inner, creatively-challenged, developmentally-delayed child wants some of this candy.
I'll present the problem first and we'll conclude with the desired outcome.
Problem: Back in July, a buddy and I went to Ft. Lauderdale/Miami. For the beach and the women yes, but mostly because I won a contest and that's where we "had" to go. Because I had no choice of air carriers, we were required to fly Air Tran, as that's the deal the marketing company had arranged. Let me preface this by saying that Air Tran used to be ValuJet and if their Everglade crash is any indication of their future, I'd sell what remaining worthless stock you have.
Onward. Our flight into Atlanta and into Ft. Lauderdale were both delayed. Upon our arrival to the airport for our return trip home, we were notified that our 10:40 am flight into Atlanta was cancelled, with the next available flight at 2:00 pm. Followed by the next "available" flight to Denver at 9:30 pm. Besides the fact that my friend was going to miss his 9:00 pm flight from Denver to his home, I was less than skeptical that Air Trash could successfully pull off an on-time departure, which would've put me in some serious shit as I was on an 8 am flight out of Denver the following morning.
Now there's a big fat manager at the Ft. Lauderdale airport that works for Air Trash by the name of Larry. After I'm told that the flight is cancelled and I'm "Tough out of luck," by the skinny African immigrant behind the counter, I request to speak with his supervisor. Enter Larry, you fat fu*k. I firmly educate him that, because of our connecting flight situations, he is not only obligated to inform me of my other outgoing flight options, but should the delay be greater than 4 hours, he is required by the FAA to do all he can to get me on another flight, code share or not. "Tough luck, there's nothing I can do," followed by a quick exit from the counter.
We end up buying our own tickets on a direct flight back to Denver with another carrier. I contact Customer Relations at 866-247-2428. I speak with an angry, ANGRY black woman by the name of Janetta, expressing my dissatisfaction over the treatment and rudeness we received by their less than competent airport personnel (Fat Fu*k Larry and The Ethiopian Doughnut Thief). Furthermore advising them of their responsibilities to their customers and requesting reimbursement of my one-way ticket to get home, which they ultimately failed to do. Janetta at Customer Relations at 866-247-2428 hangs up on me after I seemingly insult her lack of authority.
Up the chain I move. Stephanie Perry at the corporate office (800-965-2107 x-3522), further proceeds to justify that Fat Fu*k Larry and The Ethiopian Doughnut Thief were not obligated in any way to offer us another flight or inform us of our other flight options. She does however, offer me a free one-way ticket on Air Trash to replace the one I did not use. Which is exactly what I want because there is only one flight on Air Trash out of Denver and it only goes to Atlanta. Furthermore, I can't wait to have to pay for the rest of my flights to the destinations I actually want to go to as well as get back home. This was the middle of July and I have yet to receive my free one-way travel vouchers. Of which I was going to shred up and send to with a nice love letter to the CEO/President, Joe Leonard at 9955 Air Tran Blvd, Orlando, FL, 32827.
I have since called Stephanie Perry at 800-965-2107 x-3522 to inform her of her failure to deliver my tickets as promised. No return phone call.
Here's where I need your help. You'll notice that there are multiple toll-free numbers posted. You may refer to me as Conf. Number YL6RBS. Furthermore, I'll take ANY suggestions you may have as to how to resolve this issue. You are bright and crafty minds, my friends. Share this with as many of your counterparts as you can and thou shalt be handsomely rewarded.
Desired Outcome: I want my two free one-way tickets.
Reward: I'm thinking the best, most effective solution that leads to the receipt of my two tickets, will be rewarded with the transfer of those two free one-way tickets on Air Tran to your name and the companion of your choice, departing from the airport of your choice, should the said mentioned air carrier depart from that airport. Should that option not be possible or the retards at Air Trash can't figure out how to do that, another, more appropriate prize of greater value will be awarded. Say, a gift card to Starbucks. . .
Good luck kids.
