Too late United. Maybe next time you won't wait to be publicly humiliated before offering to make things right.

Good on him for declining the money and continuing. The goal is obviously to get United to shape up and treat their customers better, and he's clearly getting through to them.

United apologized and offered him money. If he was so concerned that it go to a charity then he should have just accepted the cash and donated it himself.

Wait, who the hell is this guy and what the hell is this even about? O.o The title on this video is for some reason extremely awkward grammatically and is confusing the fuck out of me.

He's a guy who flew on United, and had his guitar broken in the process. After his futile attempts to receive some sort of compensation from United over the incident (the guitar was quite valuable) he wrote a song named "United Breaks Guitars" to get people to know the story, and mock the crap out of United in the process.

And as someone who has had a few dealings with airlines over luggage issues (suitcase took a vacation in Hawaii without me), I salute him for not backing down and taking their STFU money.

Because just like all other 'settlements', regardless of where the money goes after it's given to you, once you receive compensation the issue is closed.
