He might be getting just too friendly in the skies.
The CEO of United Airlines was caught flying first class with rival American Airlines, his old employer who he has repeatedly taken jabs at and even pitched a merger to after they let him go a decade ago.
Scott Kirby, 58, was seen on an American Airlines flight from the San Francisco International Airport on Friday, with flight attendant Kristine Tiley snapping a photo with her former boss.
“LOOK WHO I HAD IN my first class today from sfo. What a great guy,” Tiley wrote on Facebook. “Just as nice as he was back in the day He misses us lol. And tells everyone Hi.”
The post whipped social media up into a frenzy as many were confused as to why the chief of United Airlines would fly with American rather than with his own company.
Kirby still enjoys lifetime travel benefits with American Airlines after serving three years as president of the company from 2013 to 2016.
In his final year, American Airlines let Kirby go, paving the way for his rival, Robert Isom, to move up to CEO of the company, with the two men becoming heated adversaries in the industry.

I just had to look! That stewardess is fugly! Even an AI filter could not make her look decent! She could make a guy throw up the free peanuts.
AA has improved from the days of Methuselah’s bitter angry daughters. Plenty of new hires.
I guess he didn’t want to risk having his teeth smashed like United has been known to do to its customers.

New maybe, young and attractive, no.
I do fly one certain route 3-4 times a year so it may be a seniority thing on that run.
Between grumpy fat grannies and the homos, it sure makes 50-60 years ago look good
Were I a pilot on UAL I would fly on a different airline. As a pilot you don’t have to put up with the so-called service crew and your luggage stands a much better chance of getting to the destination with you on American or Delta or any foreign airline (if you are going overseas)..

A good CEO will check out the competition from time to time?
