Your vids are better Lol
I am a viewer from Missouri and I can confirm almost everything in this video
Why can't you just lease a plane from United and be 100%legit?
Yea, right...swift justice for those billionaires
2:03 WOAH WHERE THE HELL YOU GOIN'!? I THINK SOMEONE STOLE THAT PLANE FUCKEN FLEW OFF TRACK AND WENT MISSING *Yes, i know that was pointed out in a mistake video, i just wanted to comment on it
The truth is the airport should have ALWAYS have been well connected to public transit ALL airports should be have easy public transit connections to the city and region they serve. You shouldn't NEED to provide stupid flights to the guy in charge of the port authority to get it. The guy was basically bribed to do a good job (common in countries like India were bribes are common)! There is a regional train station INSIDE Charles De Gaulle airport in France, you can take where you need to go, other stations it connects to like Gare du Nord hook into the Parisian Metro system. When Toronto had thoughts of hosting the Olympics one of the objects was "We'd have to connect the airport to public transit!" Of course the airport should have been connected to public transit already! Years later with no bid in mind they actually connected Toronto Pearson to the regional Go train service (Badly of course).
The first flight route is exactly how WoW flight paths work
But why isn't this on Wendover?
5 minutes and 2 ads? what misery.....
I can't imagine how annoying the people are that would join a glultton free dating site.
Would've been much cheaper to run a small plane between Charlotte-Douglas and Columbia.
I heard the same thing about Hartford (UK) railway station, which was saved by closure as it was the local station of one of the members of the British Railways Board, who commuted from there to London regularly
I hate to admit it, but I've taken advantage of that flight
lol, more hating on Newark..
The people I know who have homes in Aiken are actually very nice and they aren't "polo themed" they're just nice houses, sometimes with barns and pasture (though many people board their horses elsewhere)
Cape? Missouri? What? Vampires? Definitely not ocean.
i was surprised by the ending..i thought corruption doesn't exist. only happy (for some) coincidences :-D perhaps there is hope after all
Jet fuel to kill my grass, thanks for the idear, buddy-ro. Probably cheaper than a new mower.
ALthe censors EVERYTHING! unless you are watching puppies on piano keyboards, be very aware that you are being denied whole truths of peoples' opinions by a long mark….!
Jet fuel smells a bit sickly sweet. It's strong enough smell as it is...
That’s why half the country voted for Trump. He has a better plane the Air Force 1. And paid his own fuel bills.
When do we finally make the call to eat the wealthy?
Crazy, I'm from Cape Girardeau.
Whack!
1 minute of bitch fluff, I’m out
Welcome to America😁
This my friends is how our country works. Corporations and government helping each other with our money.
You can't be the owner of a wikipedia article, that delusion's a bannable offense. You can only be the *subject* of one.
David Samson - just another corrupt Democrat out of the tens of thousands of corrupt Democrats that exist on the left today. You will never see this garbage on the right, x10 more honorable and generally better people
CAE is a great little airport. EWR, is a cesspool
CORRUPT!
I live not far from Cape Girardeau, Missouri lol
If only it was 6 months earlier, I had to fly from Newark to Columbia en route to Aiken to play polo (actually, not kidding) for a week... what a coincidence small world
So apparently Half As Interesting is Wendover's alt account for salty shitposting.
I think you guys are missing the point. You don't do business with NY or NJ without bribing someone. NY's official motto is "The Empire State" with the word "corrupt" being assumed and silent, before empire. Not joking at all. It's like IL, but they don't get caught as much here. Example? The whole point of the MTA, as an authority, is that it lets them get out of the paperwork, and legal requirements, of the state's procurement system. Along with authorities, there are public corporations, which take the whole concept to another level. Collectively it's sometimes referred to as the shadow government of NY.
Normal people used the flight too, I don’t see the issue. If bad for the environment is one of the major complaints....I think you’re reaching pretty far into the outrage bucket.
The home of the Great Rush Limbaugh!
this video sucked
This is nothing more than a five minute commercial disguised as a youtube video... followed by an actual commercial. Total time wasters!
I just assume everyone involved in politics in the New York metropolitan area are corrupt.
Continental parading as United.
So nothing changes at all then!! look at Nancy ? 2020 or any Dem 2020 !!
No wonder Communism was so appealing...
When this whole lockdown narrative runs its course, I'm gonna go on a trip to Cape Girardeau. Any suggestions for tourists?

dude what does this mean in the video? dont post random shit just cuz you want to boost your ego.
Rush Limbaugh is from there

There’s a flight from LaGuardia to columbia
I thought it was twice and weekly as in kpop
;
What in the world did this video have anything whatsoever to do with living in Cape Girardeau, Missouri??? That whole section could have been cut and never missed.
Very good! Entertaining, especially how you connect it seamlessly to Brilliant!
Very interesting I live in Cape Girardeau.
Left out a ton of information and clearly sensationalized this incident. United has a major hub at Newark, and already serves Columbia, South Carolina from their hub at Washington Dulles. They were not adding service to some one horse town, they were simply adding a route from a major hub to a city already in their network. Additionally, a route from the New York area to Columbia its not unusual at all and airlines have offered this service in the past. Lastly, when you’re saying only 25 people flew the route, you should mention what type of aircraft were being used. My guess is they were using a CRJ 200, which seats 50, so this is a load factor of 50%.
Mistake at 2:00 :)
Almost thought it was American Airlines that I once took from o’hare to Charles de gaule that food service splashed hot contents and burnt my shoulder. About twenty three years ago,
Biweekly.
Never in the history of Jersey has a video summed up politics in the state better.
There’s only two reasons to fly into Newark. 1. To visit NYC 2. To get the hell out and fly somewhere outside the country.
Talk about a corrupt video. This is the corruption inception. Exposing corruption only to corruptly put an advertisement for a company to perpetuate additional corruption.
If this is not corruption I dont know what is
Could have summed up this boring video with 5 sentences in less than 30 seconds.
Just imagine how more corrupt scandals like this are occurring without anyone knowing.
I saw that AD at the end coming from a mile away. Allowing me to hit the dislike button before you mentioned the word "Brilliant" I was able to stop you from wasting more of my precious time.
You'd think that the dude would have just gotten a small private plane for his own use. They are a lot cheaper than you'd think. Hell, the company could have just added a puddle jumper connection.

Especially if you know the ceo of a airline company.
If u live there sorry but you’re just a flyover state
I live there. I played chess in 2017 on top of that bridge over the Mississippi.
Can I get a parachute like that? Wait. I'm a nobody. Nevermind
This has massive early 2020 energy
Seems like a wendover video. Oh it’s not
Was quite literally in Cape Girardeau the first time I saw this passing through.
Okay once again congrats to the American judiciary system.
Creepy horse mansion got me..
You should put your slimey ads at the end
It always astonishes me when people don’t just drive short distances 😂😂 but I live in Texas and a 10-14 hour drive is normal and we haven’t even left Texas yet 🤣🤣
Why didn’t he just charter a jet? 😂
That’s 2.5*52, 130h/24h 5.41d, assuming he lives another 15y, would save him 81.25 days, or nearly 3 months of driving. That’s a big deal load of time if you ask me
The dislikes are from the 3% of people who aren't from Cape Girardeau
Isn't this how America works though. I don't really see the point or wrong here.
The plane was dodging Dodge City
Why are all the airports in the North, so horrible? Orlando is outstanding, even compared with international airports.
Do you mean 5:25 minutes?
You claim both parties bribed the other, and talk as if some horrible crime was committed, but there is no crime here. No one was charged, because there's no there there. But you got some traffic so screw the truth, right, they're rich, male and white, they don't deserve the truth.
rip the ceo
EWR is probably one of the most efficient airports on the east coast
If corporate CEOs kissing up to politicians were a crime, they would all be in prison. He did what was in the shareholders' best interests. Good on him. Hopefully the voters ditched the politician though. He did not do what was in the voters' best interest.
Wow, it is really easy for me to imagine living in Cape Girardeau :D
5:32 true. My head is spinning in confusion doing CS homework in my compsci class (which is about Java)
I live near Cape Girardeau, MO
"...and even fewer folks who wanted to go to Newark on a Monday morning for any reason whatsoever." There's not many people who would want to voluntarily go to New Jersey on any day at any time for any reason. There, fixed it.
So what does Cape Girardeau have to do with *anything*? 90 seconds of relevant story and four minutes of blather. Downvoted.
I live in Columbia and there are plenty of flights from Columbia to New York, but most of the nonstop flights are to LaGuardia.
@Half as Interesting: You showed a PCC when you said the subway, which IS the newark city subway, but that is operated by NJT, and those trains were sent to San Fransisco in 2002. PANYNJ operates the PATH, which is being talked about to be extended to EWR. Although, honestly, I don't know who would take it, because PATH connects two vibrant downtowns, both populated with people that have brains, whereas EWR is mostly home to screaming security agents and stupid tourists.
TLDR: United CEO gets a multimillion dollar transportation system built that helps the citizens of New Jersey and his company, at a cost that is trivial to his company.
Dude has major bucks but doesn't fly private?

Thank you for mentioning our lonely state in the south that is overlooked because of North Carolina and Georgia.
I know it ain't the topic of the video, but the kiddo at 0:42 is actually pretty cute
Talking about flights it was clear that NEWARK would appear
