United Airlines is packing their flights

Say one thing and do another, where have I seen that before ? ? ?

Disappointing, but not surprising. United and American's management often make poor decisions. Seems more of a desperate move. Delta and Alaska seem to be taking this more serious from what I have read. United and American, more lip service.

Nobody should be surprised. United has not cared about the well being of their customers or crew since the Continental merger. They have led the way in stripping customers of any form of dignity or care for years. This is just another expression of how they really feel about the human beings who entrust them with their lives.

after seeing a passengers photos from inside one of those "packed" ual flights (and these were mostly doctors and nurses travelling to assist somewhere)it is a bit disturbing..these medical professionals and some others mostly had on masks,but every seat was full,no middle seat open, and passengers were on top of one another to put things in the overhead bins..yes, the airlines are struggling and since they have cut flights,they do need the business,however,promises of social distancing by holding middle seats open are just plain advertising ploys by airlines, who have sated they are fogging with sanitizer, cleaning thoroughly ,having everyone wear masks,having no food service and the like..people do not like being lied to by anyone or any company...that is a fact...

I just hope that airlines actively rotate crew to ensure everyone remains current.

Plus, change up the aircraft type so the long distance crews (767/777/787) get their hours as well.

As has been discussed in many squawks, social distancing on aircraft is a joke and for show only. On any other form of transportation and particularly in your car there will be someone sitting right next to you. If you want the airlines around to serve your needs later, don't require feelgood rules to cripple their business any more now. Because of air travels ties to the national and world economies, everyone has an interest in their survival and competitive spirit between them.
