I have avoided United for many years because of their unreliable service, and because their idea of helping a disabled passenger into his seat, was to find a gorilla-like baggage handler to pick him up out of the wheelchair and throw him into his seat ( a window seat).

I flew to Australia last December on Qantas. One of their in-flight movies was 'The Guard' which would not have much of a soundtrack left, if it was edited for a US-based airline.

Oh yes, indeedy! Pilots. Let's see. Arrogant, check. Cheap, check. Insufferable bores, check. Religious nutcases or Paultards (about 50/50 in my own personal experience), check. I'd say this gal ended up with one of the religious nutcases.

And by the way, I do not happen to fly for American (fwiw.) I fly for the other one. The one that rhymes with "indicted."
