I think the term "FINO" needs to be used here. Friendly In Name Only. A quote doesn't change a culture of cost cutting and benefits reduction for most loyal customers. Whatever.

When I first started watching the new television advertisement, I thought it was something from the 90s. Then I noticed the IFE. Bravo, United. http://nyti.ms/1aXMs0n
I really love the orchestral Rhapsody in Blue association United has. Sure, it may not be the glory days, but still is a great positive link to the brand.

Man, tough crowd! I think this is wonderful news!
While FF's may not be happy with the program, I find FA's, pilots, and the experience a pretty friendly one. I think the slogan fits.
