All the fat hosties can be put on a regimen of those diet shakes and lemon detox diets.

Hmm, I don't know...this IS United we're talking about!

Forget the Lemon Detox diets...most of them are more interested in Botox diets;). I have to live with them every trip unfortunately so I can attest to the fact that they aint getting any smaller, lighter, or younger !!!:mad:

And lets not go down the "skilled" road :rolleyes:

"United, Fly The Overweight Skies"

I noticed on their website they are offering LAX-SYD for US$499 (AU$692) one way which seems very cheap. What is the normal fare for this trip outside of the sale period?

Nick, I have no idea...sorry mate . I always fly @ employee rates which have nothing in common with regular full fares.;)

Regards

Most of the time you get paid to fly ... not the other way around. :p

NickN 8th January 2009 01:57 PM

So the sale must be for THEM to pay you US$499 to put up with the grannies and poor service:D

Mike Scott 10th January 2009 03:17 PM

Thats a great idea....one that will go over well when it comes to our new contract negotiations which start this year. Thanks !!!:cool:
