Is United the Romper Room of Airlines?
It seems like United Airlines is like a Kindergarten classroom with chaos by the Flight Attendants and Ground Staff. Why do we continue hearing about United Airlines making it hell for the passengers? Mr. Munoz I feel needs to be fired and there needs to be a better CEO and more accountability. How can United even fathom to be part of the Star Alliance with their constant bad reports? The media is now on to United and they now have a bad image worldwide.

I wonder if Untied may not be around in the next few years. I can't even imagine how they are able to be FAA certified under these circumstances. I know other airlines have their issues but come on it seems like United keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again and their promise to fix their image gets marred over and over again.

What says you?

UA served 148 million pax in 2017. Are we talking about 3 incidents or 4?

Yes but 3 or 4 incidents can be brutal and United could have handled them in a more poised and professional manner.

Ridiculous post. UA is doing an acceptable job. Not a stellar one, but acceptable considering the current state of most US airlines. I am getting what I paid for.

United net income in 2017 was 2.1 Billion

Despite the Dao incident. They aren't going anywhere.

These incidents have affected my travel on UA by a factor of 0 to the 0 power. You really think a legacy airline is going to go out of business over a dog and a front tooth?

How often have/do you flown/fly on United? Better question: How many times have you ever flown on United?

They have an amusing amount of high profile incidents. I still think they're run better than AA though.

It's been affected by a mathematically undefined amount? (Or by 100% if you follow the IEEE standards?)

Beat me to it. I was going to say lim x->0 x^x which is 1. So a 100% reduction, i.e. no UA travel at all!

Absolutely agree! I am appalled at Untied for their "romper room" mentality.
Thinking of going to the media with this latest fiasco that I experienced: on my latest Polaris flight last Wednesday there were NO AMENITY KITS supplied in J!!!
Can you believe that???

I predict Untied will go out of business in a few weeks because of this. For real.
