Nobody fly on United Airlines anymore!

They just had to issue a very strongly-worded and brutally honest warning to their pilots and co-pilots regarding safety. Apparently the number of very close calls lately has spiked. They also have to hire 700 new pilots this year due to a huge wave of retirements.
This was the shittiest airline before, I can't imagine the level of shittiness and unprofessional behavior on their part now with 700 new pilots.

I wish it was that easy. There are limited options Leaving out of Houston on something other than United.

I'm flying with them today

700? oh no.
I am dreading having some new militarily trained pilot act as first officer to an experienced captain.

Curious, will you also go out of HOU using SW or do you stick to IAH?

Y'all keep laughing. Every one of you knows damn well you're gonna think of this next time you fly with United.
I hope you get the shits on the plane.

They are actually tied with about a dozen other airlines for that title.
Flying today just sucks and will suck forever, no matter what airline you fly.
Deal with it.

What if they hire fighter pilots? Those guys are the worst. Could even do well enough in training to earn a big plane on drop night. Sure they were good at flying nimble little jets but how will they ever learn to handle a slow moving airliner? Not to mention learning to deal with the passengers and flight attendants bitching on top of that.
I also heard turbulence is 100% made up. They just do it because they either suck at flying straight and level or because they want to piss off the passengers.

Spirit is up there for the worse. At least with UA, I can still go pretty far overseas.

I may be in the minority, I actually enjoy flying
, especially if I'm next to a window.

I loathe united with the fire of a thousand sun hot packs of hemmorhoids.
