Last week we took a United flight on a 737 to SF to visit our son and his family. The pilot got on the speaker and reassured us that he was a skilled pilot, flying since the late 80’s, and that he wouldn’t fly a plane that he didn’t think was ready for the job. It was a very nice flight.
Then on our return, the United pilot got on the speaker, and told us he was finishing up a few days away from his home, and that he was looking forward to being home for a while. That was pretty reassuring, too.
I think United must be getting the message that they’ve been in the news, and not in a good way. The cross dressing, DEI loving CEO better get his PR act together. Customers want pilots that are capable. We don’t care about race or inclusivity, we want pilots that are knowledgeable and tested, and know what to do if they’re ever in a Miracle on the Hudson situation.
Yesterday, flew SouthWest two 737’s from Reno to Vegas to Birmingham, AL. No problems. Good flights.
