He would've drug a lot of people off a plane-- ticket or no.  L:-)

Sounds like a perfect fit at UAL.

I do get remarkably interested in events like this, because my late mother, who was awesome, was a Southwest and Braniff "Flight Attendant" (and sometime Vegas Showgirl).    I grew up on bizarre stories of the airline industry, and actually learned to be a pilot before I was 18.

But yeah, never heard anything good about United.   I was sort of reminded of this..

That one was eminently justifiable - remember that it's not given to the best person in the world that year, but the most influential.  Pretty hard to argue with that choice

[Gusington]

Just shows how meaningless these 'awards' can be.

[Sir Slash]

Well, it was a slow year. And Stalin was busy.

Is that him doing his famous Al Jolson impression?

♫ "Mammy!"

[bayonetbrant]

Again, not an award for most admired. It can (and has) gone to assholes. But they were assholes who were hugely influential on world events that year.

[Sir Slash]

As Assholes often are.

[Staggerwing]

Yep. The 'World Influencing Nice-Guy/Gal' roster is pretty small, and often anecdotally proven.

[Gusington]

There is no denying the oratory skill of Hitler. He hypnotized a whole country!

[Staggerwing]

His admirers were numerous outside of Germany as well, especially through most of the 30's.

Sean Spicer seems to think he's okay.

[Gusington]

Ok - a whole continent...and beyond.
