This video should be watched by the CEO and main board of every carrier in the world. What a fantastic lesson there is for them and what a fabulous piece of retribution.

Tom Paxton had a similar experience and wrote the song "Thank you Republic Airlines"

With the classic line "You should be next to go the way of Braniff"

And I think he got his wish, the old Republic Airlines ceased trading in 1986.

Thank you Republic Airlines
for breaking the neck on my guitar
I arrived to do a concert with the Kingston Trio
opened my guitar case with a smile "con grio"
Thank you Republic Airlines
What a joy to a musician you are
What a zest you've added to pedestrian skies
It was boring to be flying where the wild goose flies
But the tedium was broken by your wonderful surprise
when you broke the neck on my guitar

Thank You Republic Airlines by Tom Paxton
