A United Airlines plane flying from San Francisco to Mexico City made an emergency landing in Los Angeles on Friday after a hydraulics issue was reported by the crew.

The plane, an Airbus A320 jetliner, safely landed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) around 4:30 p.m. local time Friday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

***

This was the fourth emergency landing of a United Airlines flight this week and will be investigated by the FAA.

“I think Crenshaw was in California when he made his comment.”

I’ve flown Southwest PLENTY of times between Texas and Los Angeles (and SF) and they also fly to another 6 or so cities in California.

...but none of their flights have First Class.

Heading off to Cancun during the Deep Freeze here in Texas 3 years ago...bad optics.

Forget First Class, private jets are the way to go.

Well, at least they (maintenance) did it to an Airbus instead of a Boeing this time.

I wonder how much is improper maintenance, and how much is increased reporting.

It could have a lot to do with which airport in Houston and/or DC. Hobby field to Dulles is not a good option when traveling from an office in Kingwood to Capitol Hill.

Crenshaw’s beef is with the other airlines who don’t fly from DCA to IAH. I’ll bet he was a fan of Continental Airlines though.

I was on a flight from Reagan to DFW during the Clinton years. A cabinet member was in first class. I got bumped from an aisle seat in coach to the middle seat so her security guy could have the aisle seat and sit next to me.

I can't believe another 737 MAX has an issue and
makes an emergency landing. When is Boeing going to
cancel the MAX altogether because it is such a piece of sh...

Wait, what? It was an Airbus?

I’ve said on these threads before that my client/acquaintance is a United pilot. He said DEI has screwed the company and to never fly them again.
