#UnitedSucks

Can we all collectively do something to make sure that airlines like United do not take customers for granted. Have been at airport since 7 in the morning, it’s 11:00 already

All major airlines suck, the “worst” one depends on the airport you call home.

That being said, US carriers haven’t had a fatal crash since 2009 (knock on wood). I think passengers sometimes take the airlines’ priorities for granted as well.

What’s causing the delay?

like

First the engine problem and then it’s taking them 1 hr to clean an alternate airplane which doesn’t sound true at all. When did it ever take crew 1 hr for cleaning

like

It’s first flight for the day and they remember to check the airplane after the boarding is completed. Why can’t they check the airplanes at the end of the day or come in early and check beforehand.

It seems for last 1.5 hrs they were waiting for 1st class meals to arrive. They made 200 people wait for an extra 1.5 hrs so that 16 first class people can have free snacks. 1.5 hrs are in top of 3.5 hrs caused because technical issues.

Sounds like someone's bitter about not getting an upgrade...

sounds like a decent case for compensation to me

OP - what do you propose we should all do?

Every pilot performs a check up on the plane prior to the departure. Can't remember the number of delays I've encountered based on this checkup.

Cleanup/prep time for a plane coming from the hangar takes longer as the plane has been idle longer.
