Even the people who live under a rock know about what happened with United Airways and the following fiasco, so if you don’t know, just go. I can’t even.
But chalo, let me tell you. United Airways kicked someone out of their ‘overbooked’ flight, and it wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t just a ‘aap niklein’ scene, they legit dragged him out.
The internet did not like that offensive action AT ALL
And absolutely dragged United Airlines, ruthlessly.
. @united You are literally the most disgusting, unbelievable, and despicable people in the world, and im a fucking porn site.

Now of course the world of airlines is cutthroat AF and EVERY Airline jumped on the opportunity.
Southwest Airline was savage

Royal Jordanian’s marketing department is having lots of fun

And Emirates are very ‘friendly’ about taking United down.

And then this image began circulating early this morning, supposedly from PIA
Here we go PIA trolling United ? pic.twitter.com/ZjqaysVBRO

But this ‘PIA Troll’ is fake AF. And twitter fell for it, and fell for it HARD.
Some found it hilarious that PIA was saying anything at all
PIA: I am the worst airline in the world. Nothing can top me! Muhahah!
United: Hold my beer…
— Noman Ansari (@Pugnate) April 11, 2017
Some were glad that United took the title of ‘Worst Airline’ away from us.
Never thought I'd be saying this but there's an airline worse than @Official_PIA out there. S/o to @united for making this possible
— Raf_n (@rafid_nope) April 11, 2017
This person was a little extreme.
Yikes!
We don't kick our passengers out of the plane, rather we kick them out of the world.
Seedha uppar!

This person told the world how proud they are to be a PIA customer
I hope United get their asses sued to hell and back. And that's coming from someone who has PIA as the primary option

Some people trolled better than others
Gulf air companies: we've mastered in trolling United.
PIA: hold my lassi glass
— Junaid (@ibrownlad) April 11, 2017
Sadly, the trolling sort of backfired
PIA trying to Troll United Airlines is "Trolling" itself. Khud jahaz hi gira daytay hain aur dusron ko troll kerne ki koshish ker rahay hain

PIA Troll: Failed
PIA waly passengers ko khara kar k ly jaty hain lkin at least United Airlines ki tarha kutt charha k bahir toh nae phenkty.
— Ted (@notmuteeb) April 12, 2017
It was an onslaught
Don’t understand why United Airline didn’t do what PIA did about 5 weeks ago when overbooked; make the passengers stand the entire flight
— Adil (@ad1lkhan) April 12, 2017
But this tweet won, like this is some savage shit
bachpan mei naaray lagatay thay "pia thappar khayiye"
united airlines ne amal kar liya iss pe ?— Zain (@zir07) April 11, 2017
And then someone brought back the goat thing
@MrGreenMemes PIA : United slaughters their pride & name but we slaughter only goats.
— Satire Writer (@AmnaRashid1947) April 12, 2017
And like, would you actually really rather?
@iReemSKhan @MarjaanAli @ajplus @united @emirates @RoyalJordanian I rather be kicked out than to fly PIA and have the chance to never make it or make it after countless delays
— Amad (@amadshk) April 12, 2017
But there were people who called PIA an inspiration
Pakistan airline admits taking extra passengers in aisle – maybe @united could get some inspiration. #pakistan #pia https://t.co/Wofvi6pUdX
— Nazila Zahra Vali (@NazilaVa) April 12, 2017
And the final verdict was announced
@TeamRubina The airline is solely to blame. @united is worse than PIA!
— Zeeshan Shah (@zeeshan_shah_dc) April 11, 2017
Wouldn’t we all love to hear what PIA officially has to say about this?
