Zitat des Tages von Oscar Munoz:
I am a first-generation college graduate, and I'm proud to say that most of my other siblings have college degrees as well. Our parents taught us to work hard and never forget our family roots, where we came from, and how much effort it took to get to where we are today.
We set out to reinvent the whole business class experience. We went back to re-engineer everything we had thought about and made sleep a priority.
I feel terrific - my mind, my energy, my focus continues to be what it always has been, and I have a renewed sense of purpose.
I'm told by our internal surveys that we take of customers - by customers themselves directly and by a very large group of our employees - that there's a new spirit at United.
The process of overbooking is a complicated one. It's actually minimal. We, on certain flights, overbook by one or two people.
If you fly and you look around today and you see our United family, you see them incredibly motivated and focused on making things right.
We had taken the cups for coffee out of the building as a cost-saving measure, but left the coffee. Somebody thought it was symbolic to do this.
We are dedicated to setting the standard for customer service among U.S. airlines, as we elevate the experience our customers have with us from booking to baggage claim.
I represent the interests of almost 90,000 human beings in our system. That's by far my first and foremost commitment.
It is important that we win back the trust of employees first, then customers.
Our parents taught us to work hard and never forget our family roots, where we came from, and how much effort it took to get to where we are today.
I think we have a thriving economic engine between not only the U.S. and Mexico but the U.S. and many, many other countries.
Everyone eventually matches or leapfrogs everyone else.
This is a pattern-bargaining industry, like railroads. You need to pay market to get a contract at all, and without contracts, you have a poor relationship with workers.
If you feel anything weird, immediately call 911 and give them your address because you may not make it past the phone call.
It's the human approach to customers that I want to bring back.
We are not going to put a law enforcement official onto a plane to take them off... to remove a booked, paid, seated passenger. We can't do that.
We're going to teach and broaden sort of the cultural impact of respect and dignity, regardless of where you're sitting. And that's why we've said once you've boarded an aircraft, we're not going to take you off except for safety and security.
Simply put, we haven't lived up to your expectations... That's going to change.
The level of improvement has been great across the industry, and we have improved along with everyone.
We didn't have nine brands of cereal at home. We'd line up to fill our bowls from a giant vat of oatmeal.
Somewhere in the mix, we forgot the very critical people who deliver the service.
You forget sometimes that the people you're carrying are human.
When LeBron James shows up at your doorstep, you're going to let him practice with your team if not join the team.
Clearly, on a visceral human front, I oppose any wall, anywhere, between any people - period.
I am thrilled to return full time to a job and the employees I love.
I deeply apologize to the customer forcibly removed and to all the customers aboard. No one should ever be mistreated this way. I want you to know that we take full responsibility, and we will work to make it right. It's never too late to do the right thing.
If I have any strength that would be considered above average, it is that I can read people.
