The unique question sparked an avalanche of controversy as people flocked to the comments section to criticize the airline.

The exasperated traveler took to Reddit to share an image of the monitor, and it soon attracted attention on the discussion forum.
Another user added: “Yeah, it’s weird, but I doubt United will remove it.”
Other people on the web claimed that the question fits perfectly with the current state of the world, as they even dragged political parties into the mix and compared Hitler’s control to that of President-elect Donald Trump.
“Good, considering the times we live in,” someone else commented.
Another person wrote: “I’d say it’s pretty relevant nowadays, all things considered.”

DailyMail.com has contacted United Airlines for comment.
The unique question sparked an avalanche of controversy as people flocked to the comments section to criticize the airline.
The references to Trump come after he made a stunning political comeback on Nov. 5 and won 277 Electoral College votes, leaving a red wave across the country.
The 78-year-old has already begun shaping his second administration, as Republicans will take full control of Congress with the trifecta of the White House, Senate and House.
Trump’s victory has sparked a mix of emotions across countries, as Democrats have taken to social media to protest his second term by boycotting men and wearing blue bracelets.
Even Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s daughter Caroline put her political stance on full display when she publicly disagreed with her father’s views and criticized Trump.
