A United flight attendant was harassed and called a snitch by other crew. Then she was yanked from her purser role. And all because she reported safety violations by her co-workers, according to a lawsuit she’s filed.
Having seen Starlink perform first on JSX and more recently on Hawaiian I can say that it really is the best inflight wifi product by a lot. Beyond faster speeds, it just has very very low latency. The technical aspects of it are outside my area but signals just don’t have as far to travel with the satellites in low earth orbit. Installations can be done in a single overnight period.
United Airlines is a flag carrier of the United States, which does not recognize a country of Palestine or the Hamas government in Gaza. There’s also nothing to suggest that this flight attendant is from Gaza or the West Bank in any case. And, wearing a pride pin beside a Palestinian flag is clearly confused at best. Does she think that LBGTQ+ rights are better protected in Gaza or in Tel Aviv?
United Airlines disclosed in a filing that they had a conversation with the Deputy General Counsel at the Department of Transportation regarding Alaska Airlines acquiring Hawaiian Airlines. United had to file this to avoid having had an improper ex parte communication over an active matter before the Department.
A United Airlines passenger flying from Los Angeles to Chicago O’Hare found himself with an empty middle seat beside his window seat, pulled down the tray of the middle seat while inflight and whipped out a second laptop – working on both of them. Another passenger wonders if he bought himself a second seat planning to do this for work – it’s actually more width than flying first class, “I think I found myself more impressed than annoyed.”
United Airlines is surveying changes to their United Club – from higher costs for memberships and for their premium co-brand credit card, to limitations on benefits. They are also contemplating changes to give some customers priority getting into the lounge, getting help with their bookings, and finding seats. Much of this is inspired by Delta Air Lines and their Sky Clubs.
Bally Sports reporter Michaela Bennett is mad at United over a checked bag that she got back at baggage claim, with her jewelry missing. It’s her second United trip in a row where things have gone south.
United is really good about providing on board and in-airport milestone recognition. They’re trying to be better about saying thanks on board as well, even if it’s just words of encouragement for staff making that happen.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby laid out the competitive landscape of the airline industry for his employees. United is doing well, Kirby is overly optimistic. He offers important insights but the path is far more fraught for the airline than he lets on.
A passenger on board United’s flight 939 from London Heathrow to San Francisco made “sure to touch everything with her bare feet” on Monday, according to a reader. Dan P shared photos of his seat opponent – propping her feet up on the seat’s television, standing up on seat cushion, and nestling in comfortably foot-to-seat – all sans socks.
