Complainers at UA with TA2

It’s actually so annoying listening to people say that they would vote no on this next TA. People are BROKE, struggling yet they want to vote no because of stupid things. If TA2 still isn’t enough for you the please vote yes, get the retro and quit.

UA is a business, and they dont have to do anything. Be happy with the improvements or leave

I hope they are okay with their cuts and all...

you think these C-suiters will be ok? As we literally beg for crumbs... "United Airlines reported CEO Scott Kirby’s 2025 pay at $32.3M and cuts for top execs: President $20.3M, COO $11.1M, CFO $7.1M; noted lower stock awards and prior bonus impact".

A big thank you to FAs

I hope this is appropriate but please delete if not allowed. I have horrible anxiety and flight anxiety and ALWAYS end up having panic attacks while flying. The people I can always count on when I'm having a moment are the FAs and every single time I've called them they have been INCREDIBLE.

I've had several flights where I've ended up shaking and hyperventilating in fear and every single time a FA has listened, held my hand and made me feel safe.

I know you are there to keep us safe but I am so grateful when you take your time to help me when I am struggling and are an absolute godsend.

you guys are incredible. Thank you for keeping us safe.

meal prep going to NRT

First day of reserve is tomorrow and I got pulled for an NRT trip! Just found out from a crash pad roommate that Japan is pretty strict on food you can/can't bring in? Would love any advice you all have regarding meal prepping for international trips- my airline pretty much exclusively flies international routes and I feel like it's major oversight on my end that I didn't even think about what foods I can/can't bring certain places 😅

Kirby: Forfeit Your Salary for One Year

We need to start putting pressure on Kirby to forfeit his $32M salary for one entire year in order to show his dedication to the company. If you’ve read the book LEADERS EAT LAST, This is what’s required to prove his true leadership ability. Takbhis 32 million and distribute it evenly amongst the lowest paid employees. Exclude the pilots, of

Course, . If he can survive for one year without his salary, then he has proven his dedication to UA and he should stay.

Same Day Plane Commuters: how much time do you leave between your arrival time and your trip sign in?

Coming up on 5 years and going to try commuting by 50 minute flight due to family reasons. My plan is to take the first flight of the day since we all know it is most reliable. I will obviously work later sign ins. How much time do you schedule yourself between commute arrival and sign in?

The first flight of the day seems pretty reliable ( majority of the time) so I’m tempted to risk it and leave like 2 hours in between since I don’t have any attendance or performance issues. Is this delusional? What do the veterans do?

What's in your carry on that most people forget

Flying 4-5 times a month for work and I feel like I've optimized my carry on at this point. Curious what other frequent flyers consider essential.

For me it's foam earplugs (not AirPods, actual earplugs for sleeping), an empty water bottle to fill after security, and a power bank.
