Unless you got a really, really, really good deal on your ticket, why on earth would even think of flying UA or any other NA airline on that route? Non-stop or not, flying UA is an FA crap shoot. On US airlines, FA are assigned by seniority (another wonderful union contribution to society), so older FA's tend to pick the long haul routes to get their hours over with and go home. Unfortunately, that is exactly the attitude you get from many on these routes.

Most of those in this forum that defend UA are addicted to their mileage program and basically try to convince themselves that it's not really so bad.
