Ain't It The Truth !!
 
The scary aspect of this cartoon is that it is right on !

If only the "1,000 new applicants" realized that the ship that they are trying to board is taking on water they might re-think the wisdom of doing same. I know, I jumped off of that ship and am on dry land and don't regret leaving.

G'Day Mates.

Yeah... a freind of mine, last week, on a full fare ticket, trying to get to work was left with his johnsons in is hand after his flight was cancelled. Gate agents handling his flight told him go to passenger service to rebook his flight. After waiting 3 hours in line, he was told that the best UAL could do was to get him out of IAD 3 days later... and hotels would be at his own expense. With that being said he purchased a ticket accross the pond on another carrier without a chance of refund form UAL. Yeah... thats the airline I want to fly for and also be a full fare paying passenger on to boot...

Thank you sir may I please have another!?!?!?!?!?!

Yeah, United is the only airline that has ever done this.

So that makes it OK?

United used to stand for quality, but it certainly doesn't today. :(

It's corporate attitudes like this that will drive people to the likes of Virgin America.

It does not make it ok, but to say that you would not go to United because of things like this is absurd. The quality of all major airlines have diminished along with morale. If you think your going to find Utopia Airlines in this day and age you're in the wrong industry. Get a job with some clown feet and a red nose and you will be much happier.

Yes, things are different, which is why airlines are nothing more than Greyhound Sky Buses.

WTF is up with United cancelling flights all over the place?

Whenever we look up flights to jumpseat on, it seems like if there are more than 20 seats open, the flight cancels? WTFO?
