The service was warm and as efficient as possible. The service manager was present all the time making sure things went smoothly. My IAD - AMS flight out was also good - though I got the "I have to find them" answer about the gel pillow. While I know it's a YMMV issue, I've noticed a substantial decrease in Polaris based eye-rolling from the f/as over the last 5 months.
The issue with Polaris is the same UA had prior to the merger, IME on average, IAH and SFO crews are usually great, IAD and ORD are hit or miss, and EWR crews are bad (don't have much experience with LAX crews) , that is not to say that I haven't had bad crews from SFO or had great crews from EWR, just an average observation.
