Firstly, THANK YOU! And, I’m glad we take good care of you when you get in a jam! E+ Is a great thing, which is why we have it in our contract that any deadhead has to be in E+ or they have to give us a first class upgrade for future use! :)Having put 1.82 million miles lifetime on my ass in United planes as they are my hub airline and I fly a lot, I can say the following:
1) The service has gotten better the last several years -- or more consistently good. It was kind of a random up-and-down thing between thoroughly pleasant and surly before.
2) Economy Plus is a huge winner for folks with status.
3) I fly Southwest for short hops to SoCal, Phoenix, and the Pacific Northwest out of Oakland because they have more flights and OAK rarely gets delayed while SFO often is.
4) I prefer the service on Delta to United but prefer United's planes and seat layouts.
5) Status is a great blessing during irregular operations, like big delays and cancellations, and United has helped me out of jams more than once.
6) The service on the many European carriers I've flown is often better, save for SAS and RyanAir. Love Swiss and Lufthansa.
7) I think the FAs are getting younger and more attractive, but it is possible it is just me getting older and more unattractive.
@ChicagoBlue you'll be happy to know my son picked up flying this summer. He loves it. Hope you're up front someday when I'm onboard; PM me when you're in SF for a bit.
So you've said, but cat's out of the bag, Mr. Missing your flights to Denver. On behalf of the twelfth man, your being put on notice.Hell no! Seahawks
Apart from the afternoon storms and shit controllers, I’d agree! We are expanding our gates there, by extending the B Terminal! Very much in growth mode.Denver Airport is a pleasure to use
And bring back Channel 9!!
I stopped using it when I started having to explain certain radio calls and people were recording it on flights...”just in case!” Last thing I need is some arseholes recording in the national news, with zero context and edited to make whatever happened as sensational as possible!
Like most people, I don’t really want every word recorded while I am at work, especially with the litigious nature of many Americans!
I understand why you like it, and I used to listen to it myself within about 50 miles of the airport, just to gauge how things were going, taxi times, etc... but when I was asked, quite curtly, “what were you doing up there?! You missed at least 3 radio calls that I noticed!” that was the last straw for me, personally.
Now I'm glad I missed buying you beers the two times I was your way. Next time I'm at Craters of the Moon National Monument I'm gonna climb that giant cinder hill and fart in your general direction. ;)
yup, he's way eastish, hence general direction.He's fucking miles from there. Do it from Atomic City. Kaboom!
And that cinder hill almost killed me.
