Yeah right... but first, a couple of questions:
1) when is United going to have a C or F product thats worth of the designation "premium cabin"
2) how much longer are you going to be around...?
3) when are you going to have FAs that serve customers (and not scare them)?
And, as was stated above, welcome to FT. These boards are home to lots of frequent flyers, but most of us here know our sh!t, so its gonna take more than a little begging to get us to fly the used to be friendly and now going down the drains friendly skies.

"I thought about switching to UA... because I got high."
"I thought about leaving AA... because I got high."
"Now I'm a 1K sitting in international coach, and I know why...."
"Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high..."

I think their premium cabins are fine, unfortunately they are impossible to get into if you dont work for United Airlines...

High wouldn't do it for me... I would have to be TRIPPIN to abandon AA for UA.
Of course, I'm still flying UA... but not much and certainly not in lieu of AA.

Methinks this thread is nothing but a blatant advert, and therefore should be closed.

What a UAL suckass.......Just like Custer's Last Stand ,UAL will get it's lunch handed to them by Southwest ,ATA, Airtran. Most likely by the end of 2004 UAL will be an international airline only.
What a poor excuse for a bunch of money grubbing, whiny UAL union employees and inept managers.

I think this thread should be moved to the UA section. That way, we can read all the UA flyers saying "no" to UA also.

I prefer to fly airlines where the pilots won't have to carry briefcases of cash to pay for fuel once credit is revoked....
