Another factor that has made United airlines slow down of expansion of routes is the result of Boeing Airplanes mess to put it in simple terms. Scott Kirby the airlines C.E.O. has been on the offence and stating his airline is safe and will improve. Without a doubt it does seem to have had a turbulent time and a lot of press attention.

Let us share something that’s important, safety. United as always is forward thinking to better itself and keep people flying. Training is essential as is in the fire and ems service.
