Jun 2015

Fly with UA often have a litany of horror stories of being stranded getting to destination 1-2 late, stuff happens but dealing with personnel 90 bad 10 very good. They have earned their designation as worst for consumer satisfaction of any airlines. I have a very understanding of things happening but their attitude when supposedly helping in terrible. Worked with public and would never treat people that way, no matter how a pain they were, because that was my job. I blame corporate more, but a lot of the personnel have a very bad attitude.
