Escort missed his pre-paid flight, now what

[down_to_business]

Update as of now:

 

Last I heard from escort : text message. " I missed my flight. I'm sorry. I'll book another asap". That was about 9 hours ago, haven't heard anything since. He was supposed to arrive before noon today.

 

I feel like he has no respect for my time. How long do I have to put my plans and life on hold waiting for this guy to decide if he is going to try and make things right? I almost want to tell him don't bother at this point. Isn't 9 hours more than enough time for him to book another flight and let me know something?

 

Grrrrrr

Since I know the airline biz a bit, may I ask where he departing and arriving? I only ask because I could give you an idea the number of flights there are in a day.....and if not too much info what carrier. Did you send him the $$$ for the ticket or did you book it? If this info helps I would be glad to supply it.

Much appreciated KH.

 

I booked his flight and paid for it. It was completely non-refundable/change with severe penalty and more than likely completely worthless because he didn't even bother to go to the airport and try to catch it.

 

While not as familiar with airlines as you, I did a search this morning when it happened to get some idea. My guess is when he saw the roughly $500 price tag, he decided to blow it and me off. That is just a guess. He might try and book a flight to the resort directly because he can book that for under $100. (I won't be having any part of that)

Like I said---ditch this bitch. He is not exhibiting good business manners....and since you have the gold, you get to make the rules. He is breaking them, and in my opinion, you need to demonstrate he is disposable.....and for the love of God, lose his phone number.....just saying....

Always late to the conversation, I can only join the others who say that the burden is on the businessman, not the customer.

 

I'm sorry you had to deal with this more than once! I hope he understands that your patronage is valuable.

Only you can decide if he's worth the trouble. Based on how good of a time you have with him (when you do connect) versus the obvious distress he's causing you at the moment.

 

You have a long term relationship. You know the guy is a bit on the flakey side, but you've been hiring him for a while. There must be an upside or you would have ended it long ago.

 

Personally, I only know one guy who is so much fun in and out of bed that I would allow him to join me on the backend resort time. (But he would never pull this shit in the first place.)

 

I know what I would do. I would call it off and then see how I feel. If I instantly feel a sense of relief, then it was the right thing to do. If I start feeling like I'm going to miss out on something, there is still time to make new arrangements with him. However, it sounds like no matter what, you're going to be a bit bitter and it might not make for a very fun time with him.

 

Oh yeah...never listen to @Kuriousity. His heart is made of ice and only @Mikegaite or some yetti-muscleman could melt it.

Oh I am! Its my Junior year of College and I'm still trying to figure out what my plan Is. I love my Job(When I actually meet people...Usually) but I cant Escort forever. Its just too easy to get someones Info in 2 Seconds these days. Wish I was around to Escort 10-20 Years ago!(Ok maybe not the Days of finding a guy through a Newspaper...but still;))

Please tell me your degree is in a useful subject. I wasted 4 years on an English degree...and now my daily work ensemble is digital camouflage....

Cry me a river, I got a useless English degree and wrote my senior thesis on the gendering of personification allegory in twelfth through fourteenth century France and then got some more useless degrees...and now my daily work ensemble is a Nasty Pig jock.

Oh I am not really complaining...I look at it this way--if I had not wasted those 4 years, I never would have joined the Army. I never would have been a 3/3 Russian & Persian linguist. I never would have been a part of "outfits" I was a part of. I never would discovered the austere brilliance of the AK-47....so it all balanced out.

Kick the escort's sorry ass to the curb.

I must say, in my day to day life, I am usually the smartest person in the room or at least near the top and yet, I do not have a clue what that paper could possibly be about. Making love female and hate male? Definitely a head scratcher. Your paper was probably longer than the collective French literature of that period beside the Song of Roland. Yeah France was a hotbed of literature in the 11th century but it is not the hot bed in which I want to lie.

[Bargara Leatherboy]

I'm in my 50's logged 450 flights and never missed one.

I have too much self respect to tolerate unprofessional behavior from anyone in sales. The only real power any customer has is his ability to close his wallet, say no, and walk away.

 

I'm always surprised and sad to hear about men who tolerate selfish and ill-mannered behavior from an escort. I've been with many a hot escort, and I've enjoyed most encounters, but no one has ever left me feeling powerless, like I was ever willing to respect myself less to be in his company.

 

If you don't respect me, my cock can't get hard. I'm glad it's that simple for me.

[+ WmClarke]

Generally, I think dump him.

 

You say he's done this once before (three years ago) and have been seeing him for years.

 

So that's two fuckups. But out of how many events? If it's just a few events a year that is excessive.

If it's a dozen+ events per year, I might cut him some slack.

 

(1) So, what's his percentage?

 

Missed 2 out of a hundred total events over the years = 98% success = very forgivable.

 

Missed 2 out of 10 = 80% = not so forgivable, especially given the cost incurred.

 

(2) What's your threshold for a passing grade?

Not only has he missed (two) flights he hasn't kept you informed on what is going on with his re-booking and that is the absolute minimum requirement. I say he has three strikes now and he is out.

 

After 9 hours of nothing, and perhaps even much longer now if he still hasn't contacted you as of this point, he is clearly showing disrespect for you. At some point it needs to be made very clear to him that is unacceptable behavior and, if you are willing to do so, that he lost you as a client. Only you can decide based on your history and relationship but I can't imagine a situation for myself where I wouldn't dump him right now.

[MrMiniver]

Are the days when you missed your flight they just put you on the next one? That's how I recall it happening but I haven't flown commercially (thanks be to god and a well-connected friend) in years so I might be behind the times on that one.

I believe the escort never even made it to the airport.

You are correct, I usually feel a little disoriented and the mind is definitely not as sharp but is much more relaxed after a good romp.

I definitely have a sex hangover after a particularly explosive episode.

[+ purplekow]

That is correct, the OP stated that he had not even made to the airport.
