This apology comes a day after an initial attempt, in which Munoz said he was sorry that his company had to "re-accommodate" passengers. That choice of language didn't go down too well online.。

Perhaps Munoz finally decided that a stronger apology was in order. Or perhaps you are someone who believes the world is a soulless place guided only by the scent of freshly minted money.。

The apology does seem to have come after United's stock -- ahem -- crashed. Do with that what you will. 。

Munoz said United will review several policies including how they interact with law enforcement and their overbooking policy. The results of that review will be made available on April 30. 。
