[quote=Anonymous]BTW, airline exec here. I don't work for United. Their whole deal is that they've screwed over their FF so much with the merger, and are so worried about the pilot contracts they have open right now, that they're throwing shit at the wall desperately to see what sticks. This is a bad call. Families who don't fly constantly and bring a carseat on board (which all airlines and the FAA recommend they do) may take up to 10 minutes to get that carseat loaded. Sometimes they need a seat belt extender to get the job done right. So trying to do that quickly while managing a child (if you are flying alone) is very hard. Harder still if someone is wanting to get past you. If you're flying on a small aircraft it is even worse because you may be installing while standing in an aisle. But as I said, United's FF's are pissed off at real things like not being able to ever use FF because of oversold flights and overly restrictive blackouts, and seeing their miles disappear, that the airline thinks they can just push FF's in front of families to make it look like they're doing something to reward FFs. And yes, many FF's are that horrible that they think it's okay to stress out a family so they can board first. Me first, me first, me first. Talk about entitled. :( [/quote]
