The electronic BP from the UA app shifts from portrait to landscape and fails to scans many times at TSA or gate or UC.

On my last flight the FA in F kept bringing me a fresh napkin every time she brought a drink refill and I felt guilty wasting napkins when the original one was still good. Then at the end of the flight she had to pick up a whole pile of napkins.

Why can't they be hardwired to do things that they were trained to do that matter instead of handing out a fresh napkin
Where is the "green" United here

Last couple times I was there they also didn't have any pepper jack. If that continues I think that qualifies as a tragedy. I will however accept replacement of it with Tillamook's habanero jack or smoked black pepper white cheddar.

I had a CO FA fall asleep in the F jumpseat in complete view of the F cabin.
Considering the service from the sleeping FA and a typical awake CO FA isn't much different, I suppose it would qualify as an non-substantive complaint. In fact, a sleeping FA may be better than an awake FA, since they can be quieter.

My recent flight with DTVs had the screens defaulted not to the usual CNBC, but to Newsmax TV - a self-proclaimed conservative network attempting to outflank Fox News. When I boarded, the graphics were screaming about voting fraud conspiracies. 
Really, United? How is politically alienating a major proportion of your customer base just to flog this new network good for business? (And before anyone asks and we drift to OMNI-land, no, it would not be any more excusable if it was a network peddling any equally-unsubstantiated left-wing conspiracies.)
