Jeff Smisek can’t run an airline. He sure does like to talk about himself, paint, nonexistent wifi, and airplanes that his airline does not fly yet. That sucks. He sucks. Fire yourself Jeff, please. (Even the New York Times agrees: For United, Big Problems at Biggest Airline.)
Why do I continue to fly on United Airlines? Good question.
On this last trip I broke 100,000 miles for 2012 (and 1,465,480 lifetime miles). Each and every one was, for the most part, utterly awful. I’ve been flying United loyally since 1996. If only I did not live so close to Dulles Airport I would certainly switch carriers. I may just do it anyway. Anybody know how I can avoid United and continue to fly so much? Has United airlines become worse than Greyhound Bus?
Yay, 2013 100K Pemium status again. Big f-ing deal. No upgrades. Crappy planes. An egomanic CEO. United Airlines was the worst ever in 2012.
