Seems like Robin Black is getting fucked by Gatwick Airport and the horrible indignity that is flying via WestJet Airlines.
No airline exemplifies the ball wrenching experience of commercial flying in Canada quite like WestJet, where 1 out of every 3 flights is canceled, and sometimes they just strand you in the outskirts of London for 30 fucking hours. Enter Robin Black’s plight…
Hi @WestJet I’ve been delayed in #Gatwick #airport during a connection for 30 hours. I missed out on an exciting (paid) job. Questions: when do we get home and how do I pursue lost time and income? Thank you. (Pls answer to to prevent #BREAKDOWN.)#air #airtravel #customer #fail

DELAYED AGAIN now they’re saying Monday morning. Missed an exciting (paying) gig Saturday now stuck here for at least another day. Cmon @westjet!
Also there were machine gun carrying guards staring us down when people complained. This is getting crazy. https://t.co/BfR31474mH— Robin Black (@robinblackmma) June 24, 2018
Alright @Westjet flight WS5 canceled again. We have a hotel and food so that’s good.
Missed my job analyzing @btc_fight_promo because of this. Apologies to the fighters and fans.
Hopefully they’ll fly us home tomorrow but no promises. Tough one. Much love Friends. pic.twitter.com/dBbuXqRfOo— Robin Black (@robinblackmma) June 24, 2018
The addition of armed guards threatening upset customers is menacing. But as an American is hard to be too critical, as this would have ended in shooting with three dead if it happened in America.
I really am hoping that Black takes it to the next level and make a One Minute Breakdown on the terrible experience of flying with WestJet. Here’s to hoping the Hampton Inn they throw you in have free HBO, Robin.
