Apparently, due to a computer glitch, United Airlines sold a bunch of tickets for $5.
They are going to honor the price. I have a problem with this. First, it was a mistake. It simply isn't fair to expect the company to absorb this hit for a mistake. If it were me, I would understand and pay the proper amount. I've been in this situation where, due to a technicality, I was not paid for a service I provided in good faith with the expectation of remuneration. The person was unjustly enriched due to a mistake. Secondly, it is unfair to other people who paid full price.
