I wouldn't go as far as nationalizing the airlines. But how about partially subsidizing the major carriers so that they can at least be on level ground to compete with the regional and low cost carriers who are eating them alive.
@Lobo8310 And Flight Attendants actually took pride in their job and were nice to the customers. You never see that now a days. The US based airline flight attendants are rude and mean.
Kjetzer this video you uploaded 5 years ago was an MPEG file from the Night of the AdEaters archive website which of course later the whole archive was taken down.
Back then we actually had work to do. Now Cabin Crew can't even serve free drinks! What's the point in making them pay onboard? It just slows down the service! But atleast then we'll have a nice shouting at from the passengers and Cabin Services Director! Aviation went down the pan as soon as Ryanair, Southwest and easyJet started doing low fares!
I'd rather have a crash than running out of BLT sandwiches!
I guess the better question would be can you imagine a passenger saying "thank you very much" for said single ice cube, making direct eye contact? The video says this is from 1982, but didn't UA change to navy blue uniforms in 1980 or 1981?
@astrojet707 Yes, they did. I believe the date on this clip is incorrect. I would place it more in the mid-70s, when the DC-10 (as pictured at the end) was still the darling of United's fleet.
@BettinaBalser Nah, early-mid 80s is about right for this, to be honest, the DC-10 was the pride and joy of the UAL fleet For a long time. Only after United bought Pan-Am's 747's and Trans-Pacific routes did that change to the 747
Maybe Nancy's attitude wouldn't have soured so much in the past 28 years if her passengers had continued to treat her with just a modicum of respect as people did in 1982. And seriously, how much can we respect YOU when you write "you're steak?" How does anyone who didn't graduate from third grade expect to be taken seriously?
They used to be such a well respected airline, now they are nothing but a piece of shit. Atleast the world still has real airlines like Singapore Airlines, thank god for SIA.
I'm flying United on the 18th. Never had any problems with them before except this time they won't have an escort for me to help me through the airport because I have Asperger's Syndrome and can't navigate the airport independently yet (plus, i get really nervous around huge crowds)
Remember when people didn't take thing for granted? I don't mean just service, I mean everything. If a person didn't get paid much, they still got paid enough to live in a house that had electricity, gas, and plumbing, and that was enough. Today, a person doesn't make enough to buy an HDTV, and he's unhappy? WHAT?!?!
Now their slogan should be "Fly the Unfriendly and Chaotic Skies", with their lost luggage, preposterous fees, lack of punctuality, comfort, and lack of providing customer service and safety, and many other bad things. My how the airline industry quality standards have gone down the toilet.
@burbank That happens to have occurred on the other airlines too. Once you see how horrifying the services of LCC airlines today though, you'll be shocked. I'd rather have myself flying within Flight Simulator, which still provides aircraft that serves as the base for the "Friendly Skies".
Flying back then was certainly different tan today. First off the Stewardesses were prettier, friendlier and seemed less stressed. Everyone was less stressed! Planes were more comfortable, security was much easier and the food was better. Now it's ugly stewardesses called flight attendants, Gay stewards abound, tight seating, poor food, delays and long security lines. Major airports look like a 3rd world meeting at the league of nations. Tribal people all wrapped in their "garb". Sucks!
@tonybklyn As much as I hate how the airlines treat people, I have to say that this happened bec of the "bargain basement" mentality of people.
Americans are still better than the Europeans though. On any US Airways transatlantic flight, here's how you can tell the Americans from the Europeans... US Airways charges $5 for headphones for the inflight movie. The Americans grumble and pay up the $5 while the Europeans bring their own headphones in advance with them :)
There are no "flight attendants" in my world! There are stewards, stewardesses, actors, actresses, instructors, and instructresses. I recently saw an actress interviewed on TV. I forget her name, but the TV showed something like, "Jane Doe, Actor". HA!
US based Flight Attendants could take a lesson from Nancy about Customer Service and as well from Asian carriers. Today flights attendants act like its a right to be a flight attendant, when it should be a privileged!
@Suspiria10--I know. Such an attitude is totally f-ing ridiculous (as well as the people who don't care.) That is something they should care about for they will only lose customers and/or risk being unemployed :-) It is, as you said, a privilege and not a right.
@justjack78 That is no excuse for rude service and not being friendly. You should be lucky to be a Flight Attendant and have a job. If your not happy, then find another job there are plenty of people that would love to have an airline job.
@Suspiria10 If your not happy... is not correct. Your is an adjective like YOUR house, YOUR car. YOU'RE is the contract of YOU and ARE. If YOU'RE not happy, then find another job...is correct English.
@Suspiria10 No offense Suspiria10, but since you and I have never had to stand in a flight attendant's shoes, perhaps we shouldn't be so judgmental. Between deregulation, and pay cuts, plus dealing with passengers who themselves are fighting their own 'battles', it can be pretty stressful. Even putting on the best customer service does not mean a person won't get stressed. And as for jobs, more carriers are cutting staff and making the remaining ones work longer schedules.
@bigvirgotube and that's no excuse for rude flight attendants. If they don't like their job then quit and find something else. It's today's UNIONS that ruin airlines and its employees.
WOW things have changed. I remember when flight attendents (stewardesses) were so nice and helpful. Now they're so bitchy and have that "pretend to care" attitude. I travel about 100,000 miles a year. so I truly know what I have seen, yes, even in first class: Bitches.
I remember when United Airlines Stewardesses use to be so nice. They are so bitchy now. UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT ATTENDANTS: Enjoy what you do or find another job!
now with united and continental merged watching this makes me really sad i hate the planned livery with the united name and continentals livery cause it looks shit! i LOVE UNITED AIRLINES! LONG LIVE UNITED :)
Airlines use to take pride in and value their employees. That's stated clear in this commercial. Now, they give the shit left behind on the money they wipe their asses with. >:( But, great commercial, thanks for sharing the memories.
This is when flight attendants were nice and classy. Now US carriers have the worst customer service for flight attendants and service. I wish the US carriers would be more like this and like the Singapore Airlines Girls.
@Suspiria10 United is the only "World Class" Airline the U.S. Really has to offer, I know this, because I've been flying for 25 years and I've seen a lot of changes but United while not perfect, does get the Important things right. And the main reason for most other airlines decline, is the passengers, everyone wants their tickets for cheap or free, everyone thinks Air travel is a right. Not the privilege it used to be.
@MyleneJ I agree, but that is still no excuse with bad customer service. Today's flight attendants need to look classy like from the early age of flying or perhaps like the airlines of asia. I am so tired of sloppy looking flight attendants, that don't care about how they look, no make up, over weight.
I love it ! united should run an add like this again to day and concetrate on a "friedly sky" image again ! god it would be great considering what a pain flying ca be today !
@Locker10a You know, i agree with you, but at the same pace. So many people try to Demonize the airlines because they've got nothing else to do.
I do work for an airline, and im tired of turning on the news every day after helping the roughly 1500 passengers i see in Just my shift, to see some bad-haired TV anchor slamming one airline or the other for some stupid crap, that 8-10 times isn't even correct.
Thank you Yassir ARABFAT for fucking up an entire industry ....oh yeah and to all your muslims brothers ....WE will soon NUKE ALL of you for this breach of humanity
Yassir Arafat was a Palestinian leader who had nothing to do with 9/11. it's ironic how you talk about (9/11, I'm guessing) as a breach of humanity, because in your world, committing genocide against every Muslim on Earth somehow isn't a breach of humanity. I find this even more disturbing, because, assuming that SHMUJEW is jewish, you should know the inhumanity of genocide, i.e., the Holocaust. If you're upset about airport security, blame the TSA. And know that you are an ignorant dunce.
@bigvirgotube OMG, you're 46? That means when you were a teenager, mobile phones and emails and iPods didn't even exist. What exactly did you and your primitive generation do for fun?
@jamessmedley82 Sony Walkman, cassette tapes, CD's were what the 'cool'--and well-heeled kids-had! Cable TV! When MTV played MUSIC! Pong! Atari game console(think clunky, two controllers, analog display)! Annnd, we had to actually GO OUTSIDE TO PLAY! It's criminal, man, criminal! OTOH, the things we could've done if digital camcorders w/USB connectors, tablet PC's, YouTube, and Facebook had existed back then...
@jamessmedley82 it seems you have forgotten that it is those teenagers from you so called "primitive generation" that invented you mobile, ipods, epads nintendo wii 's all that stuff you enjoy now, you ignorant twit!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That's not funny. It was a mistake and poor judgement upon the baggage handlers. That one incident does not reflect United Airlines as a whole. However, that comment you made just confirms that you are an asshole.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Do you call poor judgement the fact that more than FOUR MILLION people have watched and liked a video. By the way, Have you seen it? Check it out then and read the comments: "UNITED BREAKS GUITARS" Incident you say??? I saw myself how United baggage handlers were breaking surf boards at the Honolulu Airport. I believe my own eyes!!! You made a poor judgement about me by insulting me, that shows the type of "person" you are.
First of all, the UAL of today has NOTHING to do with the UAL of 1982. Second of all, complain about a problem with an airline to that airline, not by bitching and complaining at a fan posting. I think you need more things to do with your free time.
2 motherthing: 1st of all, this is a democracy N I have the right 2 give my opinion, whenever I want n wherever I want. 2nd of all, u'll have then 2 send msgs 2 ALL the hundreds of people who r complaining on this site, check the other comments in "your free time". 3rd of all, it seems I do with my free time the same thing u do with yours.
Best regards, and... DON'T FORGET 2 CHECK THE UNITED BREAKS GUITARS VIDEO ON U TUBE, U'LL LOVE IT!!! BY THE WAY U CAN ALSO CHECK THE UNITED MAT TV VIDEO!!
That's pretty funny coming from you, rwas: you are the self-appointed censor at United Breaks Guitars, after all. You think that "democracy" means that you have the right to give your opinion but others whose opinions you don't like should not have that right. You are a particularly loathsome hypocrite.
LOOK WHO APPEARED!!! KaptKan1 HAHAHA. DID YOU TAKE YOUR MEDICATION TODAY??? TELL ME: HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE MARKED YOUR COMMENTS AS NEGATIVE ON THE UNITED BREAKS GUITARS VIDEO??? LOL THAT WAS REAL FUNNY!!! The only reason you must have watched this video is because you have sexual fantasies with blonde flight attendants. DON'T YOU REMEMBER ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS PLUS INSULTS THAT YOU WROTE REGARDING FAT FLIGHT ATTENDANTS??? LISTEN!!! THE SHRINK IS CALLING YOU!! RUN KAPTKAN1 RUN lol

@Locker10a You know, i agree with you, but at the same pace. So many people try to Demonize the airlines because they've got nothing else to do.
I do work for an airline, and im tired of turning on the news every day after helping the roughly 1500 passengers i see in Just my shift, to see some bad-haired TV anchor slamming one airline or the other for some stupid crap, that 8-10 times isn't even correct.

Thank you Yassir ARABFAT for fucking up an entire industry ....oh yeah and to all your muslims brothers ....WE will soon NUKE ALL of you for this breach of humanity

Yassir Arafat was a Palestinian leader who had nothing to do with 9/11. it's ironic how you talk about (9/11, I'm guessing) as a breach of humanity, because in your world, committing genocide against every Muslim on Earth somehow isn't a breach of humanity. I find this even more disturbing, because, assuming that SHMUJEW is jewish, you should know the inhumanity of genocide, i.e., the Holocaust. If you're upset about airport security, blame the TSA. And know that you are an ignorant dunce.

@999Atwood, if you graduated from high school in 1982, you're not old, my dear chap. You're positively a fossil.

@bigvirgotube OMG, you're 46? That means when you were a teenager, mobile phones and emails and iPods didn't even exist. What exactly did you and your primitive generation do for fun?
jamessmedley82 8 months ago
@jamessmedley82 Sony Walkman, cassette tapes, CD's were what the 'cool'--and well-heeled kids-had! Cable TV! When MTV played MUSIC! Pong! Atari game console(think clunky, two controllers, analog display)! Annnd, we had to actually GO OUTSIDE TO PLAY! It's criminal, man, criminal! OTOH, the things we could've done if digital camcorders w/USB connectors, tablet PC's, YouTube, and Facebook had existed back then...

That's not funny. It was a mistake and poor judgement upon the baggage handlers. That one incident does not reflect United Airlines as a whole. However, that comment you made just confirms that you are an asshole.

Do you call poor judgement the fact that more than FOUR MILLION people have watched and liked a video. By the way, Have you seen it? Check it out then and read the comments: "UNITED BREAKS GUITARS" Incident you say??? I saw myself how United baggage handlers were breaking surf boards at the Honolulu Airport. I believe my own eyes!!! You made a poor judgement about me by insulting me, that shows the type of "person" you are.

First of all, the UAL of today has NOTHING to do with the UAL of 1982. Second of all, complain about a problem with an airline to that airline, not by bitching and complaining at a fan posting. I think you need more things to do with your free time.

Best regards, and... DON'T FORGET 2 CHECK THE UNITED BREAKS GUITARS VIDEO ON U TUBE, U'LL LOVE IT!!! BY THE WAY U CAN ALSO CHECK THE UNITED MAT TV VIDEO!!

That's pretty funny coming from you, rwas: you are the self-appointed censor at United Breaks Guitars, after all. You think that "democracy" means that you have the right to give your opinion but others whose opinions you don't like should not have that right. You are a particularly loathsome hypocrite.
