That's because it was only your second time on UA. For regular UA fliers they are par for the course. On TATL we fly LH C and their crummy seat in order to avoid the abysmal service on UA. Sad but true.

Agree completely! Just flew from S America in C with a crew that was downright hostile...

Nice report. Your experience of the service reminds me of when i was in first class and wanted some water during the night. I went to the galley and the flight attendant watched whilst i poured it and then chastised me for pouring from the crews bottle of water.
I'm flying them in lowly Business class in 10 days time, i hope to receive a better level of service than you, especially as im taking my disabled father and he has never flown business class before. (i will post a report)

Nice report. Thanks for taking the time to write it up and share.
After one INTL UA flight, you have it pegged just as well as those of us with many under our belts.
New seats are great, including IFE.
Food is OK
Service is wildly inconsistent, usually more toward the mediocre side.
