I'm flying to Seattle on Sunday (on United through Chicago). Wish me luck.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahah!

Good luck! You'll need it. Yeah, Delta sucks ass, but United? Well, let's just say as a Chicago native who is a United/O'Hare veteran, United sucks seeping, wart-festered, slimy, fishy-smelling, ripped and bleeding, gaping, yeast-oozing c*nt!

I will do anything to avoid flying United EVER AGAIN. They've routed me through the nasty Denver airport for the last time losing my luggage yet again somewhere in Denver. I got it back, damaged of course.

Their customer service is surly, nasty, and almost non-existent except when they want to charge you a fee for something. I think all of their flight attendants are withered old sea hags masquerading as sky witches with Borderline Personality Disorder plus Bipolar with a touch of Crystal Meth Dependence.

And when you call customer service you get someone in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Iran, or wherever they don't speak or understand American English. They are entirely unable to help you because they haven't the first clue of where you even are in the USA and they don't understand your American accent. Good luck understanding them too. I guess United can only pay 50 cents per hour for telephone customer service agents. I mean, it's an American company serving Americans if you are calling from the USA. We should be able to receive customer service from people who understand us and whom we can understand. UGH!

Enjoy the Friendly Skies (The Passive-Aggressive Skies) of United. :rolleyes:

I hate Delta, too. I've never had good luck with them, but my hatred for them came after I discovered that they almost ripped the handle off one of my Louis Vuitton bags on a trip to Cinncinnati. When I went to the baggage claim office to talk to someone about why my luggage was damaged, the guy said "you should not have expensive luggage...bags like that are only meant to go in a car". Bullshit! Who the hell is that slack jawed yokel to tell you what you should and shouldn't have!?! At that point, I wanted to reach over the counter and punch him in the throat! I wrote a letter and called Delta's customer service and never got anywhere with them. They were all rude and did not seem to care about their customers. Now, I generally fly USAirways on domestic flights since Charlotte is one of their hubs and it's easy to get a flight anywhere I need to go.
I'm partial to AirTran but I used to swear by American Airlines; until they apparently decided that each coach ticket needed to cover the cost of a tank full of jet fuel. :eek:

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahah!

Hahahaha I haven't flown United in about 8 years for all the reasons you have stated and then some. :mad: You really shouldn't insult the crazy or those innocent meth ho's by comparing them to those flatulent, haggard crones, in cheap polyester uniforms that went out with "Love American Style." At least the crazy drug addicts aren't a complete waste of skin.

And when you call customer service you get someone in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Iran, or wherever they don't speak or understand American English. Don't even get me started on this! :mad: That's the reason I no longer own a Dell Laptop. I once spent 4 hours on a Saturday afternoon trying to get help from numerous drones in Bombay. All of whom were attempting to read from a script which told them telling me to click CTRL + ALT + Delete would solve my problem. :mad: :biggrin1: They are entirely unable to help you because they haven't the first clue of where you even are in the USA and they don't understand your American accent.

This is one of MY hot buttons too! As in, don't get ME started! Many of the jobs in my field of work has been outsourced to India and elsewhere. I actually have no gripe against the Indian workers. MY gripe is against the corporations outsourcing the jobs and making it more difficult for me to find work.

I actually didn't have any problems when I flew Delta last year from San Antonio to Indianapolis for the holidays (and yes, I did have a layover in Atlanta...) There was a delay on the way back, but it was only a short delay and then everything was fine. But then, the weather was cooperative during that time, too. I'm also very new at flying (have only been on two round trip flights in my life, both last year), so I still have a sense of adventure about the whole thing!

Well, I used to live in Colorado, so I flew United fairly regularly. It wasn't my favorite, but I never had the kind of problems with them that I've had with Delta. Yeah, the Denver airport is nasty, but not as grossly inefficient as Atlanta's.

Anyway, I don't have a choice in the matter. This is a company trip, and they always book the cheapest flights they can find. I'm just lucky they don't have me leaving at 7:00 a.m. I hate early morning travel.

ALways travel with a carry-on. These anything can happen when flying. I always travel with a pair of shows, undies, at least a day and a half worth of clothes, laptop, cell charger, the basics. just in case u split from your luggage you got the basics and some temp. help.

No, I still use it. I used it on a flight to FL a couple of weeks ago.

I'm leaving on USAirways today going to a conference in Ohio, but I'm taking other luggage.

I forget which airport it was, but I was in a security line once just like the one at the beginning of that episode. It took a couple of hours to get through, and naturally lots of people missed flights. I actually made my flight, but only because my plane arrived late.

The attitude of the woman at the counter is just like what I've gotten at the Atlanta airport. First my flight gets in late so I miss my connecting flight, so they put me on another flight that leaves hours later. Then they change the gate so I have to go to another concourse. Then they cancel that flight and move me to yet another flight. But then they don't have a plane, pilot, whatever, so they have to call in a retired pilot who is legally blind to fly a plane that's older than the Hidenberg and about half as safe.

Having said that, I've heard airline horror stories far worse than anything I've been through.

I wonder if I could FedEx myself the next time I travel? It would probably be faster, safer, and more comforable.

Here are the pictures to which Naughty Cleopatra referred...
:eek: If you can't have taste at least have shame! :mad:

I have had similar experiences to yours at airports in Atlanta, GA, Chicago, IL, Cincinnati, OH, Denver, CO, Detroit, MI, La Guardia, NY Miami, FL; and Newark, NJ. I wonder if I could FedEx myself the next time I travel? It would probably be faster, safer, and more comforable.
:biggrin1: I have often wondered the same thing.

So, I got an apology and a hundred bucks to use on another flight. I wonder if I can cash out this voucher or hawk it on eBay...

Dear Mr. Blackthorne,

Thank you for your e-mail regarding your recent trip with our Delta
Connection partner, Atlantic Southeast Airlines and Comair. We regret
the circumstances you described and appreciate your taking the time to
share the details.

We know our customers expect their flights to operate as scheduled and
operating on time is equally important to us. However, operational
factors can sometimes disrupt the availability of flight crews,
resulting in flight delays and cancellations. Flight crews are sometimes
delayed because of late arriving inbound aircraft, causing the delay of
down line flights. Also, federal guidelines restrict flight crews from
working beyond a certain number of hours without a rest break. There are
times when irregular operations interrupt our flight crew scheduling,
resulting in the need for a crew rest break. It is our goal to minimize
these situations, and you can be sure we are always working to improve
on-time performance to better serve our customers.

Our airport representatives should always do all possible to make sure
your traveling experience is pleasant. It doesn't sound like you
received the benefit of the cheerful, friendly service we strive to
offer. Our airport representatives are expected to always be responsive,
and offer precise, complete information. It sounds like that didn't
happen in this case, and we will continue to make efforts to improve in
this area.

As a goodwill gesture, we have authorized the issuance of our $100.00
electronic Transportation Credit which may be used toward future Delta
travel. E-TCVs are valid for one year from the date of issue. They may
be redeemed at delta.com, Delta Reservations, or at any Delta city or
airport ticket office. Tickets issued at delta.com will not incur a
transaction fee. Fees will apply if the voucher is redeemed through any
other Delta location. You will be receiving a receipt for this e-credit
in a separate e-mail. Please refer to the terms and conditions of the
e-credit for additional information.

Again, thank you for writing. We appreciate your selection of our Delta
Connection partner and will always welcome the opportunity to be of
service.

Sincerely,

Rochelle P. Smith
Manager
Customer Care

I think it's great that you received such a prompt response and that they not only acknowledged that your travel needs were not met; but that their customer service people on the ground were less than helpful. Often it's just deny, deny, deny. :redface:

What bothers me is I have received the same lame $100 Delta Dollars certificate in the past. This is kinda useless as it's not even half the cost of a flight to the places I need or want to go.
