Overview
United Airlines has emerged from bankruptcy protection as a different airline. Smaller, more efficient – and when it comes to customer service, somewhat better. Where it used to routinely send form responses back to legitimate customer grievances, there is evidence that United’s customer service agents now take the time to actually read the complaints and respond to them (usually appropriately). But the carrier doesn’t always do right, and there is certainly room for improvement.
