United Airlines continues to show its arrogant disregard for the the traveling public.
Tuesday night, a newlywed passenger on board a flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Venice, Italy noticed fuel leaking out of the airplane's wing while taxiing on the tarmac. She and her husband tried to get a flight attendant to do something about it, but were told nothing was wrong and to sit down and shut up. They continued to raise concerns and an employee finally took a look out the window and went running for the cockpit; the engines were immediately shut down and fire trucks promptly appeared on the scene. The flight was subsequently canceled.
The newlyweds had saved the day, but were then treated like lepers from a prehistoric cave and told they had better not make a big ruckus about the event on social media. The couple needed to be in Italy in order to board a cruise and eventually were booked on another flight on Delta. While United booked a nearby hotel and meals for other passengers, the newlyweds got only a food voucher and no place to stay until the new flight left the next day, so they ended up sleeping on the floor of baggage claim. As of post time, United has not commented on the couple's plight.
United has been involved on a long string of scurrilous behavior toward its passengers. The fact that no positive steps toward resolving these issues seems to have taken place speaks for itself and its attitudes.
People need to quit flying United Airlines before they kill somebody, whether inadvertently or negligently.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
