All of the US airline suck compared to carriers like Emirates, Swiss, Lufthansa, etc. Even ITA and TAP (that used to have mediocre reputations) provide a better service than United, Delta or American, and don't get me started about Frontier or Spirit's level if dysfunction!

I had a similar experience a few years ago on JetBlue, and a similar experience on Delta as well.
Crap like this is why we rarely travel inside the US anymore, and why I avoid ever flying any of the US flagged airlines. (cont'd)

And to add insult to injury, once you click the button to modify the flight, your old reservation is GONE, and there's no way to say "oh, never mind, I will keep the crappy 5:30am departure".
This is an obviously intentional gotcha.
Greedy money-grubbing schmucks. (cont'd...)

United offered a one-time "free itinerary modification".
What that means is that there's no fee to modify the reservation to a different flight — but it doesn't mean that they aren't charging me $200 more for the new flight! 😮 (cont'd...)

United Airlines sucks.
They just told me that the 9:25am nonstop 1st-class flight to KC that I booked months ago for DI Global Finals is cancelled, and that they "helpfully" moved me to a flight that leaves Newark at 5:30am, has a 5 hour layover in Houston, and lands in KC too late (cont'd...)

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.
Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?!
Do you see how far they have moved the window?

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house."
Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded.
