At United, I will dedicate myself to making our airline flyer-friendly.
The most horrifying thing I ever did was work as a steward on an airplane. I wanted to get hired by United. I thought, 'With my languages, this will be amazing; I will work in First Class.' But I could only get a job with an airline going from Newark, New Jersey to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
United's 2015 earnings were one of the best in the company's history.
When I worked at Microsoft, I got to go and visit a bunch of different companies. Probably a hundred different companies a year. You'd see all the different ways they'd work. The guys who did Ventura Publisher one day, and then United Airlines the next. You'd see the 12 guys in Texas doing Doom, and then you'd go see Aetna Life Insurance.
I have a fascination with Flight 93. My emotions are mixed: awe, gratitude, fear, heartache, pride - even, in some ways, guilt.
Dad worked as a security guard for United Airlines, and Mom was a housewife who cleaned houses to make ends meet.
I've produced more pilots than United Airlines, and they've all been disasters. Every audition I ever took in my life I lost.
Are you running an airline or a whorehouse?
A major airline had required that all stewardesses be young and attractive:
On Thursday, a passenger forced his way into the cockpit of a United Airlines flight from Miami, but was subdued after the co-pilot hit him with a small ax. Good to see our airlines are being kept secure by the latest in 12th century technology.
