re: Nobody fly on United Airlines anymore!

United is fine.

My "nervous" story with them was they were the last leg from IAH to MSY coming back from Spain. They had to reboot the plane's electronics right after we boarded. Lights turn off and everything. We then flew through a rainstorm into MSY. It's just not comforting

However, United was also awesome while I was at Dulles at the beginning of that trip and flight to Frankfurt on Lufthansa was cancelled 5 hours before departure (assholes knew their plane was stuck in Frankfurt due to snow but waited til almost last minute? ).

Anywho, United had a flight maybe 1 hour later same day and got me on that one.

Eta: Lufthansa customer service must be nonexistent. Couldn't get to a person on the phone, sent an email and that wasn't returned for a month
