Sorry Mick, this deserved a reply.
I'm biased.
United got me home during covid when Qantas was busy ripping the tax payer off for jobkeeper payments. They got me home when Qantas couldn't or wouldn't. They got me home on a 787 not an old A330. They got me home during a particularly stressful time, unless you 'were there' you wouldn't understand what it was like (forgive me if you 'were there'). Family members were stuck in other countries for months, one of them over a year. They didn't get home with Qantas.
So United are my new national airline. OK, they broke a guitar or two, but to my knowledge their CEO isn't an insider trading thief. That's important to me.
