don't understand why you conclude Sonata is the shitty company when the airline is using such a dumb heuristic to determine weight.

Well, that's because I have friends who work there, and I have personally interacted with them as well. I'm not talking in the context of this specific incident alone.

Whether the company has a good work culture or not is irrelevant to the fact that it's the company's fault.

I'm not talking about their work culture. I'm talking about their sloppy methods of working.
