According to the El Salvador planespotters Facebook group there is an MS 773 due to land tomorrow night (09JUN) in SAL . It's a nonstop flight all the way from CAI. WHAT could possibly be the purpose of such a big aircraft flying to my home country from Egypt of all places? I highly doubt that presi...
Jump to postI would think there are some cruise lines dictating the NAP service. As for those 2 flight attendants worrying about hotels: Unless you are very senior, the UA FA's will get these routes. But don't worry, OMA, TUL, and BIS will be open for junior and will be for a long time.. 727-200, Remember that...
Jump to postI'm a very conservative Republican but I like Sky Harbor much, much better.
Jump to postI just wish SQ still had a ZED or ID discount as when I first started working here at United. SQ has not offered us UA employees a stand-by ZED or even an ID75 employee discount in 10 years . I've flown ZED on Asiana, Cathay, Thai, EVA - - niiice service but I'd still love to try SQ. I tried buying ...
Jump to postI am in Jerusalem for 5 days right now, visiting. I sure wish I could see it before I return home to California - - but if not , I should be back a few more times (at least to TLV) these next few months. So historic. Love it!
Jump to postklwright69 - Yes, we (subUA) in SFO have suffered, as have the subCO people who are EWR and IAH based. This disparity is just NUTS ! We (subUA) work ALL 777-300s as of right now since we still work under separate contracts , we do not work the 787-8 , only a few 787-9s - - and the ONLY version of th...
Jump to postAs a UA crewmember - sure, I'd welcome the $1,000 (before taxes) bonus but, BUT -- I'd much rather have better staffing on our 77W (two extra f/as ) and our 739s (one extra) - - Adequate staffing is sorely needed, for safety , security and service . It's outrageous too that we HAVE NOT yet merged in...
Jump to postLUCKY Delta Flight Attendants ! I sure wish we (at UNITED) ordered Airbus narrowbodies. I love working them , especially the A319s ! Can't stand working of 737s. I am happy though that we will be working to Tahiti from my home (and home base) of San Francisco. But still, would MUCH, MUCH rather work...
Jump to postglad to hear this, can t stand working on the airbus planes united has. Dennis - YOU surely jest ! Are you pm-CO ? Have you ever worked the Airbus 319/320 (but especially the A319 - with only 8 in First ) - roomy lavs, brighter cabin. I wanted UA to order more Airbus narrowbodies. When classic Unit...
Jump to postWell QR also announced yesterday that they're increasing capacity on DOH-SEZ from daily A319 to daily A330-200...W17 until end of March...so will have to see if they keep this after BA starts, if BA code on the route had such a big impact. Guess the reasoning for LHR is to capture more high-end tra...

Jump to postVC10er - a "line" for a flight attendant, or pilot for that matter, is what we call our monthly schedule. Crews ask each other "What line did you get for next month? - and you answer "Ohh...a mix of Atlanta and Chicago layovers (or trips) with weekends off" or something simi...
Jump to postSpeaking of UA Airbuses since I've only ever worked for United as a mainline carrier - - they are far more comfortable to work than UA 737s. We need to staff with 3 Economy flight attendants and 2 in First. The initial service takes far too long with just 2 on a 739.
Jump to postWHY , WHY can't we (at UAL) order Airbuses like DELTA just did - - ?? I REALLY Hate working , as Cabin crew - on these sardine cans 737-900 and (God forbid) the upcoming 737-1000 . Can't stand 737s - most of us who work inside these sardine cans hate working on them.
Jump to postSo as a 1K flyer you think they treat Coach passengers the same? They know your a 1K before you board and will go beyond to make you happy as well as most in first or business. The back of the plane they worry less about the passengers these days. I'm a former 1K. I still fly quite often, but I qui...

Jump to postAs a flight attendant, I know I surely don't like it. And I have yet to talk to a fellow flight attendant that likes to work in them. For passengers, it's awful too. The lavs are way too small !
