Bad optics, for sure. Plenty of blame for the FAA. No apologies for United Airline employees.

If I was CEO of United, my a** would be on economy just to make sure they were doing it right every time.

Well, if he took up a seat on his own company fight, losers would bitch about that too. He can’t win.

Doesn’t everybody know that “private” aviation is the only way to fly?

If you’ve plenty-o-time, fly.

Otherwise drive if you want to get there on time.

Flying on large or even smaller private luxury jets can have its moments....

The same FAA controls private air traffic as commercial - blaming the FAA is BS, its the same workload for the controller no matter how big the aircraft is.

Given the pressures attending to his job, there is merit involved. Given corporate winking at fags, it is a wash.

If he won’t fly on one of his planes, why should I?

This could be an incredible ad for the private jet company.

“When the CEO of United Airlines really needs to get somewhere fast in a pinch, he flies US!”

There was discussion of the current air travel problems on "The Journal Editorial Report" today on Fox. They said air traffic controllers are at 54% of the number needed and said much of the problem is caused by union rules. They blamed JFK for allowing unionization of public sector employees in 1962. The lockdowns added to the trouble because for two or three years few new air traffic controllers were being trained.

Naturally the government blames the airline companies.

It’s a free country - for now.
If he wants to fly on a private jet - his choice.
Probably regretting it now - but he compounded it by apologizing
