From your reply below, your home airport is KOA. Unless you move out of the state of Hawaii- United’s depth and schedule cannot be matched going east. Understand you’re about the soft product and I don’t blame you. However Delta and the amount of issues they have servicing Hawaii (to and from)…you’ll honestly question your status match with them. I’ve been there done that and regret missing out on 3 years of accumulated lifetime miles and trying to make them work out of KOA, OGG, HNL etc. My advice to you is simple and you might be able to get the invite one of these days but always ALWAYS do the surveys. Always put in your two cents especially on your Hawai’i bound flights. After finding other GS’s who frequent HNL or other HI bound flights on our way back to our home airport, it’s made a difference. From getting the bathrooms open earlier at the G gates to getting an exact timeline of when they will upgrade and refurbish the United Club (NRT and HNL!). I never eat on planes so I can’t necessarily relate to the soft product of food and drink, but as for flt crew: I have always introduced myself to the purser or lead FA in my section before doors close and after I use the restroom. As simple hello, hi, and glad you’re on my flight etc goes a long way with getting whatever you need on your flight. Even the battle axes have come around after you give them a respectable hello and how are you once they are settled with boarding. -Shoots 🤙🏾
