The CEO himself Oscar Munoz boarded my flight right now in BOS! He chatted briefly with the pilots and then spent a few minutes talking to the FAs. I turned to my brother and said, "Hey, that's United's CEO". He just said, "So?" I think I was the only person on the plane visibly excited or who even knew who he was.

Ed O'Neil on UA 383 from HNL-DEN. Very cool guy. Kept to himself and was gracious when someone recognized him. Sitting across the aisle (1B to ID) and asked if he saw Britney Spears was on the flight! He spit out his PDB. My life is complete

Abby Wambach on UA750 SFO-LAX. Riding back in Y; she was sitting right next to me on 11C. I recognized her, smiled, but then doubted myself in approaching a greeting so I said nothing, lol. She was exceptionally cool with some younger girls who wanted to take a picture.

Was on UA 248 (ORD-PHX) today with former AZ governor Jan Brewer (headed to RNC) right across the aisle. There was someone else in the first class cabin who apparently was well known (people were taking photos with him in the boarding area) but I haven't quite figured out who it was.
Edit: Other person was Willie Robertson. My initial hunch was Duck Dynasty, and I was right. https://twitter.com/GovBrewer/status/754720105368424448

David Schwimmer with his daughter in 3E and 3F on UA775 from EWR-ORD on 8/14.
Thought he looked Ross (he was wearing a cap), but didn't make the connection until an FA asked him for a photo as he was in the galley heading for the lav.
