I can't imagine anyone working for a US company using this in a public comment... Basically, grounds for termination. I don't work for United, though. However, one thing for sure: they can be rude to me, but I'm not a gweilo when I'm on board, and that means something. "Proud to be an American", maybe?
    Stop making things up, pal. You sound more and more absurd. First saying good customer service is socialism now accusing me of racism when I said no such thing. Next are you going to say Elvis was kidnapped by aliens? Come on man, talk sense.

    Overall, customer service in the US is way higher than elsewhere in the world. Specifically with the airlines, the EU (used here generically) has government-backed guarantees of service - that makes the flying experience less stressful. We are talking about compensations for delays, etc., - not so much how the FA looked at me when I board or ask for more wine. Those guarantees a quite socialistic in nature - as many things in Europe

    Perhaps we can come up with a list of five demands from airlines so I don't feel like I'm in the wrong thread?

    Customer service better in the US? Maybe for other industries beside the airline business. Truth is, the airline industry as a whole, including the US, has been subsidized and supported by their respective governments. To suggest other airlines are somehow "socialist" and pretend US carriers didn't receive favors from the US government is highly misleading.

    Ok, I am probably mistaken branding the chick-to-chick business class as non-flat. It might have been flat, but you slept right next to your seatmate (chick-to-chick). The old style we flied in JFK-LHR back in the 90-s. Polaris is the normal business class a CX customer thinks of when travelling
