United: Worst. Airline. Ever. Again.
Two years to the day after it announced its merger with Continental Airlines, United is lagging its competitors among the legacy carriers by most any financial measure or service metric. The airline's fractured employee groups are unhappy, and C-suite executives are bolting. Many of its best and most profitable customers are in open revolt, and average travelers are filling United's Facebook page with tales of woe. (www.portfolio.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Sounds like he's been reading FlyerTalk, same phraseology in a lot of places.
I am a Million Miler with United and two other airlines. I moved away from United as they started to pull service out of Seattle. Then when they started the merger with Continental i started to fly Continental. WOW, nice service, was what the old airlines were like. I noticed over the months as United's influence started to creap in, the linens were gone, the 1st class meals got worse, attitude worsened. I think we should just let the European carriers fly within the US, service will improve big time. With United and others, its not about service, its about profits... safety is high, but profits rank higher sometimes.... SAD... i'd pay a little more, if the peanuts and pretzels came back... just say'n
This reminds me somewhat of the disastrous merger between Pan Am and National. The resentment among cockpit and cabin crews was palpable. This situation is more complex, but also appears to be potentially more disastrous for all concerned.
Interesting thread. I fly often but not much to be upgraded every time so i do get to experience the economy class a lot. Personally, I don't know what to think. I do miss the old times where flying was a pleasure but back then it was also a luxury that many could not afford. Airline business is just like any other business which means profit! One could say: if you don't like it buy your own jet! yeah right....I guess I just have to suck it up. With this said, when I fly to Europe I really enjoy the better service of European carriers.
Frankly i really don't care! as long as they take my a$$ safely from point A to point B they can even go the extra mile and serve nothing or only upon demand. Isles would be empty and no fizzle sound.

Every time a good airline merges with a lousy airline, the lousy airline seems to win out. Witness America West picks up US Air and down it goes...so with Continental giving up to United. No decent airline is left that goes anywhere...except foreign and Southwest.
I doubt I will ever fly again and oput myself through the TSA and then the overpriced cattlecar.

all this guy does is whine. I've written to him before and he whined in his response. He has some major axe to grind against all airlines he happens to just not like.
