United employees suport coworker that lost a daughter - Parklnad
Florida shooting victim funeral attended by airline workers - Business Insider
There is a moving photo of all the uniformed United and other airline workers at the services for a girl who was murdered at the school in Florida. The ripples from this tragedy extend so far.
I thank the airlines workers who went the extra mile to show their support to the family in this extremely difficult time.

I'm not sure if similar happened this time but United (and the CO side prior to the merger) has been known to operate extra sections or up-gauge aircraft in similar scenarios to help their staff get to similar memorials in the past. They rarely get a lot of press, but they are an important thing that the company does to help its employees.

Ouch, when posts on internet said pilot's daughter and the pilots that came to the funeral, just didn't think UA with Parkland being in Florida.
No matter which airline, or which work, wonderful salute after a senseless crime.

Employees from UA, B6, and AA were there... Non-revving into the area was pretty senior that day and the night before, I'd like to think more people would've made it had there been seats.
hopefully these pictures have less jpg artifacts:

Lots of United employees live in the area. Other UA families have children enrolled at the school, too. A touching tribute appropriate for such a heartbreaking situation.
