    Seen elsewhere: “We put the hospital in hospitality.”

    Nice. On Facebook someone had a United training video using the scene from Airplane! where everybody is standing in line to take turns smacking an upset passenger.

    “Board as a Doctor – Depart as a Patient”

    The best one I’ve seen touts the new contract United Airlines got with the U.S. government.
    They’ve been sub-contracted to forcibly remove Assad.

    I liked the Southwest mock-up: “We beat our competitors’ fares, not our customers.”

    From what I have now seen and read, it was not Untied Airline’s plane. It was a Republic AIrlines. The Untied pilots are hollaring about that.
    I never did like Untied’s tv commercials. Too much wine and cheese atmosphere. Give me Moon Pies and 7 Up.
