United to Become More Customer Centric … Sure
United Airlines had its first ever global media event last week to kick off a “new United.” The CEO wants the media to start asking what’s next instead of what’s wrong. Maybe. According to the Chicago Business Journal, a group … Continue reading
What’s Really Wrong With United Airlines?

Getting even by getting attention
Many years ago in some of my speeches I told a story about a flight from JFK to Boston (the Pan Am Shuttle) that had landed in Hartford due to weather in Boston and been delayed four hours. The passengers … Continue reading
What goes around…
