If you’re an airline investor all you have to do is compare this CEO to the Delta CEO. This guy is driven by creating shareholder value and a good customer experience. The Delta CEO is driven by Elon derangement syndrome. You don’t have to be a rocket surgeon to know which company is going to perform better….

Hey @Delta we would really love it if you had Starlink, it would def motivate me to fly you more often versus these others

Not flying United until their CEO gives away all of his money and wealth to the government. He seems to think they’ll be better at managing it.

I always flew with Delta, flew over a million miles with them. Even having the slow cellular internet was better than none. Then some of the planes got slow Satellite internet. If I were still flying today, I think I'd switch to have StarLink.

Just used it on a nonstop to Poland and it was wonderful. Fast and better connectivity than what I have at home.

Starlink has nothing to do with increased number of flyer. Many airlines are using Starlink. This CEO is absolutely bullshiting. – at Pine Island Ridge, FL

Liar and bum. If anyone is switching because of Starlink they will soon be leaving due to his lack of leadership skills. Broke down planes, delayed flights and disgruntled employees not put in position to succeed. Starlink is just lipstick on a pig. Until United has competent leadership they are Spirit with WiFi. That is all.

Just got back from Hawaii on Southwest. Starlink on the way over, no Starlink on the way back. Starlink much better. Night and day.

I choose airlines who give me convenient access to social media so there is no lapse in my Shit Posting obsession. Honestly, I would be perfectly content if they just brought back those tiny bags of Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts. DJT 45/46*/47/48? The Chief WINNER! 🇺🇸♠️🃏🖤🖕

People are that glued to their phones that they can’t go a few hours without Wi-Fi?

United has a history of assaulting passengers. WiFi isn't worth it.

There’s no way this is true. People care about flight times, cost, and lastly the plane being newer vs older

Before long, Elon will have the airlines by the balls, too. Does really no one see what Elon and the US government are up to?

The WiFi is great on United. Won’t be long until a WiFi seat costs a bit more

Starlink alone is not enough, they need to train their employees better at customer service.

Wait … @grok … don’t the CEO of United say he hated @elonmusk and just made a big deal about it?

Having pilots from Hams is not a big incentive to switch to @United.

Has the ceo been on his own flights where wifi does not work 50% of the time? Kirby, gig is up, you are clueless.
