What's this?

How to get back? Do not buy their product and encourage others not to

United Airlines -- ConnHoo 04/10/2017 9:18PM

On top of United being a big bag o' dicks, is it surprising to anyone.... -- SchmHoo 04/11/2017 11:53AM

Ladies and Gentlemen, the police are about to board and kick this man's ass -- FreshHoo 04/11/2017 4:39PM

I keep feeling like there is more to the story. Airlines do this -- Hokie5150 04/11/2017 12:59PM

Not surprising at all on a Sunday night flight. -- VAGentleman05 04/11/2017 1:27PM

That's when United needed to up the ante a bit. ** -- Hokie5150 04/11/2017 1:30PM

I agree. I mentioned in an earlier thread that I think they should have to -- VAGentleman05 04/11/2017 1:31PM

Exactly...particularly considering how much the negative publicity -- Hokie5150 04/11/2017 1:35PM

The civil suit will feel like a parking ticket compared to lost sales. ** -- SchmHoo 04/11/2017 5:03PM

Not sure they have that much incentive to do better -- SPYCAV 04/11/2017 10:53AM

Their Global Services product is great - I try to only fly United for that** -- nyhoo 04/11/2017 09:53AM

I don't know that the bumping crap needs to stop. If -- BocaHoo91 04/12/2017 07:57AM

Yup, GS is fantastic. Flying still sucks but it makes it suck a lot less. -- Hood 04/11/2017 11:03AM

Don't patronize them. ** -- BocaHoo91 04/10/2017 10:05PM

Interesting a free-market-loving conservative would ask this on a politics -- WahooRQ 04/10/2017 9:40PM

Really. The free market only works in the classroom??? -- BocaHoo91 04/11/2017 10:56AM

Not really. -- WahooRQ 04/11/2017 2:03PM

I've been poorly treated by them before. Plus 80% of my travel is int'l -- Hood 04/11/2017 11:06AM

I most often use Alaska domestically, then Southwest, finally Delta. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 04/11/2017 08:32AM

It has definitely gone downhill. They need to do something about the -- BocaHoo91 04/10/2017 11:57PM

Southwest has about 4 gates at Charlotte Douglass. -- Hoojack 04/10/2017 10:33PM

I've flown Southwest plenty, but sometimes you get better flight times, -- JMHoo 04/10/2017 10:26PM

Southwest is not a great experience if you fly a lot. But if you don't -- BocaHoo91 04/10/2017 10:03PM

Exactly. Don't fly a lot (5-6x a year), don't have status and can tolerate -- southdenverhoo 04/10/2017 10:32PM
