It looks like you enjoyed yourself on the last 747 flight! I saw some pictures and images, and it looked like a blast with nice, festive fun!
Unfortunately, however, word also got out that the FA on the return flight to EWR was extremely nasty to you during the maintenance delay, almost un-acceptably nasty. I hope that didn’t ruin your special trip to see the Queen!

That doesn't sound fun... What did they do?

Heres a link to the tweets from Jason who was on the return fight with him:

I too was a bit surprised and put off by the FA's attitude. Tom handled it in stride with the usual class, but unfortunately the situation got worse as our HNL-EWR flight canceled shortly thereafter, and not nearly enough F seats were available on UA back to the mainland to accommodate the displaced pax... .
UA was quick with the 'apology' e-mails and I hope everyone got their downgrade comp!

I was in the galley with Tom when this FA mouthed off. He grabbed nuts and she went "HOW DARE YOU! Those are for the pilots!"
He was cool about it, but I honestly couldn't believe what I saw. She was the nastiest FA I've seen to date on UA, and to mouth off to Tom like that is next level.

This level of variance is my biggest concern with United, luckily, I’ve had more exceptional experiences than sub-par ones of late, but this is concerning.

No...he was wearing a fleece that said 18 Million Miler or something. And there were PAs from the captain prior to the delay that acknowledged there were passengers aboard from UA747 -- so some implication there might be some VIPs aboard.

Unbelievable. At its best, the customer at Untied is truly one-of-a-kind, exceptional, almost. At its worst however, United is not a friendly place.

I'd much rather have good consistent service than sometimes excellent, sometimes horrible. It's just like a restaurant. You might have the best meal of your life, but if they can reproduce that same experience every time, then it's a crappy restaurant.
