I probably will be one of the last person defending UA and other US airlines based what they have done last decade - most of us here seen and experienced it - no point to go further, but my let me tell you that during my last UA flight on SJC-IAH on question why I was reseated I was told 'don't give me troubles unless you want get them'.

But what he said is NOT the way you should say the obvious and well known. Because you are making <redacted by moderator> of yourself.

If he instead says:
"- I think all of you have experienced outstanding service quality at Qatar Airlines. We put a lot of effort to train our staff and moreover - we have certain fitness requirement for them so they can be ready for any emergencies. If you look at our competition in US, you would agree that it is not the case with them'.

Nobody, I repeat - NOBODY would say a word.
