Advantages: Great service

Disadvantages: questionable morals

Did you know that United Airlines are subject to a boycott by annoyed staff and passengers? There has recently been a lot of bad press around about the unfair treatment of staff due to alleged discriminatory employee benefits and lawsuit against San Francisco equal benefits ordinance protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered employees. This will be viewed as an unusual case in the UK and will no doubt affect our workplaces soon. I have travelled on United airlines and have recieved unsurmounted service from their staff who are always very courteous and their planes are normally on time. I find it hard to believe a large international airline to be so narrowminded.

United is the one who starts the passenger-unfriednly 'initiatives', if you will, such as 'only one cabin-luggage, limiting the size of the hand luggage, cutting agency commissions.. to name a a few.
Also, I have heard from close friends, that United has a bad record on discrimination.. both on race and in gender.
United's customer service also sucks. They were ranked last among the US airlines, by US passengers, in several surveys.

I have never actually flown with this airline myself but I think that it is absolutely terrible that they are doing sucgh a thing to employees just because of their sexuality. Thanks for pointing that out, I might think twice about flying with them.
