The mere fact that an individual who:
An individual with real outside-of-aviation prospects or abilities wouldn't have the time or inclination to hang out here.
I'm in agreement about the failed Hogan or the "phone that never rang." Ignore the words and observe the actions.
Next thing we'll hear about is a "girlfriend" in Canada ("You wouldn't know her, but she's hot.")
a) does not work @ UAL
....says EVERYTHING. -- and --
b) claims to have no interest to work at a actual airline, but also claims to be totally happy working at what is essentially an aviation staffing agency for quality of life-- but --
c) hangs out in the UAL sub-forum trolling folks anywayAn individual with real outside-of-aviation prospects or abilities wouldn't have the time or inclination to hang out here.

Curious, I just checked SWA HOU-MDW 2/14, $251. United discount IAH-ORD $55 — economy. Oh, and $197 first class. First flight I checked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You lose. Maybe you should non-rev more, it’s a lot cheaper, and we’d get the satisfaction of leaving you at the gate.

Would you guys STOP battling this Baboon, please?!?! The sooner people ignore him the better off we will be.
STOP ENGAGING! The fact someone just wasted time comparing flights with us and SWA probably has him laughing his butt off.

Thanks. I figured it out. It's not on the employee res site. I do appreciate the info. My parents are too old to stand by travel. Not going to do wheel chairs, etc. standing by.

I never failed an airline test or interview like you did.
Look, I just checked UAL discount site on flights from IAH to a Southwest hub and the first flight I checked, SWA was 50 dollars cheaper!!!!! United can’t even compete with our employee discounts!!!! If you booked basic economy on UAL, you would save 20 dollars compared to SWA, but you could only book the last flight of the night. I know last minute flights, UAL usually offers lower discounts, but booking a few weeks out that’s not always the case.

The question at hand was how do I do it. Why you gotta hi-jack my perfectly innocent and information seeking question/thread? You need to start your own thread on the best ways to play naked twister or something.

I let people know UAL discount might not be the best deal. That’s it buddy! You are upset that I think your company is mismanaged. You should only buy tickets on UAL and be supportive of your company that needs help financially. Learn how to compete or go bankrupt again. Your choice.

The individual's probably got access to an XJT employee discount site. Which is likely much less of a discount than what United mainline employees get.
I nonrev all of the time on many different airlines.
The fact that this poser states that they never nonrev tells me they're not a pilot because although many flights are full, the jumpseat is usually available. I've never had a problem getting to where I want to go. Just a poser with an axe to grind with mainline United pilots.
