I spent a lot of years at United and United isn't as bad as the press makes it out to be. However, it also is not the best. The people here are decent, they just aren't the best.

IMHO, it's not the people, it's the leadership (or lack thereof.)
DAL is kicking a$$ in 2015 with the same employees they had when they were "meh" (financially and operationally). Ditto for CAL in the 90's until Bethune showed up.
UCH has the best route structure and a decent fleet plan but has been missing the element that gets line employees motived to excel.

FWIW, I never worked at SWA but I did spend a stint at DAL.

We have the route structure, resources and people to be number one....

Southwest and Delta seem to hire the "best" across all employee groups...solid professional maturity and clear positive energy.

After spending many years at LUAL and a few years at the New United I take exception for all the fine people I've known and flown with. We've had some bad apples but they don't last once found out. RECENT evidence of this can be found with the departure of JP and shortly BS. If you didn't imply disrespect maybe you should revise your comment about the United employees not being the best, otherwise ............

My much younger brother is a 30 year mileage customer out of San Francisco. He describes United as "decent mediocrity"..."excellent network"..."so-so interaction on normal days"..."bottom-of-the-barrel when things go wrong." He says the network keeps him.
