Took a couple of days, and it didn't come from the airline but rather the union. To the traveling public it doesn't matter: The probably bought their ticket from a site called 'united.com'; it says 'United' on the ticket; they checked in at a 'United' counter in a 'United' terminal staffed by people in 'United' uniforms; the aircraft livery proudly displays the 'United' name.
But as soon as the smelly stuff hits the spinning bits, it's suddenly nothing to do with United. Pardon me whilst I have a puke!
