We're going back to clapping at landings.
lol
ROFL😂
Maybe you will because you're a bozo. Flying is safe, quit listening to this bogus media reporting sponsored by Delta Airlines and Airbus.
No
That legit happened on my last two flights, the people in the back started clapping but no one else joined so it slowly died out
Can we drag the United CEO and his crony in charge of SFO operations out for questioning?
What does the CEO have to do with two airplanes clipping a wing?
@@erauprcwaBecause he is too busy dressing in drag and implementing DEI than focusing on safety. Source: Me, former airline mechanic 20 yrs SFO. It used to me the Union leadership that groveled before the ruling party. Now it’s the Union leadership AND the C suite!
@@coldwater5707 Again, that has nothing to do with two random airplanes clipping a wing...
@@coldwater5707Honestly gonna wait for the FAA/NTSB report on this. However it’s probably likely to DEI pilots or ATC. Back in the day when I see black pilots I think nothing of it, now a days I’m kinda worried and hope they aren’t walking towards my flight.
Every week there are more and more airplane incidents.
Funny isn't it.
SFO United Ground Maintenance/Crew really made their points within the past 2 months.
DEI, Trained for sex, not the job
United SFO’s grounds crew have to be somewhat responsible for all of these mishaps
United SFO is a menace to aviation/maint right now. The tire falling (on take off) tops them all so far...hopefully nothing worse. On my last flight with United, the captain was misled to stop and shut down 10 feet from the bridge door limits. Had to wait for a tug.
they need to hire more DEI pilots so they cannot be blamed for accidents like this
@@vadalarc2948yup their ground crew are mostly African 🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
@qxxx6624 thats good DEI hire. God bless
@@qxxx6624 Wow! Racist much? Are your white sheets freshly llaundered, with plenty of bleach to kill brain cells?
WOW!
Everyday its something in the airline industry. Speaks volumes for the quality of the people.
its more off a quantity than a quality issue. There is both a pilot as well as ATC shortage, and the pilots and ACT who are working are being overworked as a result, making them more prone to mistakes. The US still has the strictest experience requirements for commercial pilots of any nation in the world. Same goes for US ATC standards.
@@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866could also be poor training and management! This is like the third on this week with aircraft collision s on the ramp MSP,PHL,and here
@@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866 keep making up excuses for ineptness
No, it doesn't speak volumes about anything. The drive by media is now reporting about every non incident in aviation. Planes clip wings all the damn time. You're easily manipulated and paranoid.
@@theashpilez keep believing everything the biased media tells you libby
Someone needs to investigate United's ground operations before something else happens. From landing gear wheels falling off to a cargo door breaking to a plane going off the runway to this....
Ya, like what the hell United?! More issues compared to the other airlines.
Because a pilot taking a turn too fast is definetly a "mechanical problem" give me a break
@@paulallen3884👍 Stupid drivers crash into others every day. (and kill others) Where's the outrage?
The United CEO made it clear what is their priority, and it's not safety.
Sure. Divisiveness, Indoctrination, Exclusion.
I don't know if I agree with that retired airline pilot. United is the dominant carrier at SFO so that works against their statistics. But as someone that works in the industry, United has had a hard time hiring mechanics at San Francisco due to the cost of living. So i'm sure it's a revolving door as mechanics leave for greener pastures after gaining a bit of seniority.
I'm sure everyone thinks that they make a lot of money, but that's only the pilots. You would be surprised how much they pay mechanics and ramp personnel starting out. I knew mechanics that worked at JFK that had to hold 2 jobs to survive. So my guess is that SFO is a very junior base for mechanics with a high percentage of new mechanics out of A&P school.
they need to hire more DEI pilots so they cannot be blamed for accidents like this
@@vadalarc2948 Never go full reet hard.
I know a lot of people who retired from United after covid who were at SFO.
SFO maintenance facility needs close hands on management and also close FAA oversight. The bathroom incident I doubt was SFO related more likely the incoming aircraft was late but local Frankfurt CS wanted the outbound flight operating on schedule so “maybe” the lav truck got bypassed by ground service in the interest of an on time departure close out from the gate. Saying of the day.. Shit happens …😊
@@Plutogalaxy Fast food workers in California start at $20.00 an hour, $25.00 in San Francisco! $100k in the SF Bay Area is chump change!
SFO: Safety Fairly Optional
Short cuts to save on maintenance. Shareholders profit obviously takes the front seat.
This isn't even a maintenence issue. Media spinning you into a good yard
@@joeysworldsewermaintenance was an example of cutting corners. Boeing is losing the competition to Airbus in terms of keeping up with the demand. They have huge backlog of orders . They work with substandard suppliers. All these culminates to the issues they currently face.
@@jaymsf4503 backlog of orders is a good thing. Hate to tell you, but Airbus also has a 10 year backlog.
Has nothing to do with maintenance
This is why the newer airports like SLC are building linear terminals. Planes pull straight in and back straight out. These circular terminals with jetways sticking out like spokes are very difficult to get these much larger planes in and out. They were fine 50 years ago when anything larger than a 737 was rare.
The thing is linear style terminals take up a lot of land which is fine for cities with lots of flat land and lower population density but SFO is wholly different it is constrained by the bay to the east and the City on the north south and west.
Every airport can do it!!
New motto “United we die”
Save that motto for when it gets worse.
At this point they're doing it on purpose
Right!? SMDH
I’m thinking the same. There’s just no way they can be this stupid.
of course no brainer whoever buys the most shares once price is down is the culprit
@@abeshuraDrivers drive stupidly every day, and people die. Should we ban cars??
@@RHINOTEJASare you comparing regular drivers to pilots who fly airplanes???? 😂😂😂😂 you’re right people are stupid .
Why is it only United having these issues at SFO?
Because United does almost all of the flying at SFO. Delta has the same issues at its hubs, American and Southwest too. But the news isn’t telling us about those because they don’t care about giving us context.
@@utcotxcomnco Delta and Airbus are paying for all of these articles
United and Boeing the love story of a lifetime
SFO needs to get their shit together.
Prob because cost of living there has forced good mechanics out.
That's a valid point.
and the ones that stay simply dont care enough because of low pay/living standards
SWIM said they weren't given proper OT pay. Scott Kirby, time to go.
Diversity equity and inclusion has forced quality people out. Covid vax mandates forced quality people out.
Did you pull that out of your ass?
Imagine driving a vehicle with something that sticks out at least 60’ on each side and you can’t see those parts as you’re driving.
I have side view cameras on my Tesla.
@@tedmoss
So do I on both of my Teslas. Unfortunately none of these exist on commercial aircraft.
This airline is scary!
No it isn't. You just believe everything the media tells you
Wait till United puts those pilots with little experience
I cannt understand why anybody would fly United period. I cannt do it
They are on their periods
I'm glad the media paranoia is working on you as they planned it. Time for your schizo meds. Flying is safe.
My flight from Houston to LA also had some issues before take off. Break gear was not working
0:52 that forth picture, the bottom right one that shows some of the insides of the plane. Feel like i saw that photo before this video was published 8 hours ago at the time of making this comment. Is that photo related to the video or some random picture the editor grabbed off a website?
Because the media manufacturers these incidents. They aren't real.
Always United... and always SFO!?
Always? Hardly a fact.
Hardly the case. Just bogus media reporting trying to make major incidents out of non issues
@@nooshinscorner
And yet one of the guys in the video literally said sfo was the center of the problems SMDH pay attention
sfo is a main hub for United so yeah they would have the most issues
United is the third largest airplane fleet. SFO is their fifth largest location but second highest for seat capacity x km (aka has a lot of larger, longer flights). Almost half the people flying out of SFO are flying on United, over three times more than any other carrier.
If something is happening at SFO, it's a very high chance of being united. If something is happening with united, it's a high chance to be at SFO purely by numbers.
Also... Look into ntsb and similar aviation databases. There's a small percentage of issues happening for all carriers all over, but the news is covering the SFO issues due to the high profile ones being more dramatic and so now it's a popular news stories. A delta (second largest) lost a wheel in February but there was no viral video (happened prior to take off. However, a delta last year also lost a wheel during takeoff that almost hit another plane, also no viral video so basically no news coverage. There's videos of the atc audio for both incidents on UA-cam). News covers what gets attention and often doesn't give folk an accurate assessment of issues. Also, those more dramatic failures may be more manufacturing defects then united maintenance, oddly enough.
I haven't flown on an airplane in years, haven't been on united in ten years, but I like to be informed (and like watching the atc videos -- it's interesting how these situations happen and are handled).
Who are we hiring nowadays? Ground personnels to CEO need to be qualified.
LoL @ "qualified CEO's",.....good one.
Exactly
That’s definitely in the wheelhouse of pilot/ground control/marshaller error, for once. Not maintenance or a factory issue.
Jeez, another united incident? crazy.
United in shambles right now
I flew United 2 wks from SFO and it was a perfectly good flight😊😊
I have flown all my life and in my 53 yrs, I have never been worried until the last year. I won't be flying anywhere anytime soon...
Your right. Your choice. Driving to New York can be a bit** though.
@melaniewhite3300 I agree, it’s not a good time to be in the skies! Staycations are becoming ever more appealing
Good choice. Or else you won’t have a life to choose.
Flying today is exponentially safer than it was 50 (or even 30) years ago. But is it safer than it was 10 years ago? probably not.
@@nooshinscorner driving is far more dangerous than flying
I notice that United likes to cut corners on maintenance. I took a United flight from Newark to Houston, and one of the window blinds by my seat was screwed shut. I have taken enough flights to notice that during landing and take off those blinds are supposed to be open.
UNITED NEEDS A VOODOO PRIEST FAST. NEEDS A SPIRITUAL CLEANING
I sure love their polaris on long haul, but my home airport is SFO and I don't think I wanna fly united from sfo anymore :-/ Haven't tried any other airline products though, what's comparable to polaris business?
I did the same thing myself when I was 16 years old, at Sussex airport in Sussex, N.J. But it was a Piper Cub and I was pushing it.
i am transiting at SFO with united next month, should I be worried?
There's no end in sight
Scott Kirby, time to step down.
Ok what the heck is the deal with united AGAIN?????
screwing employees to appease shareholders yields these results
SFO has a lot to answer for.
I am a proud united airline ramp crew I take pride in our work and I'm based In Colorado for united SFO is a tight airport to park planes yes it could be ground personnel also but we're still a good airline were just going through it but no excuse for errors 😢😢😢
well, at least the pilots didn't have to exchange details and make an insurance claim! 🤣
*Boeing had a sigh of relief like; “Phew! Glad it wasn’t our plane falling apart this time, only operator error”* 😮💨
Wasn’t even their plane
Damn
The maintenance in SFO on the tire fall off and missing panel should review their work. Safety first
When the airline focuses on DEI......
Has nothing to do with this, paranoid nut
Stop the cap
Try reporting with details of the subject at hand instead of filling in with old information that is totally irrelevant. Doing that would be a refreshing change.
AGREE 1000 % ..WAY TO MUCH BLAH BLAH BLAH !!..WITH NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STORY ...JACKOFFS !!
What is going on at SFO this is getting insane
American Airline: something special in the air;
United Airline: we mess up everywhere 😬🥱
Curb feelers ? Where were the ramp people ?
How about asking the pilot or co pilot about what may cause them to do that?
Do technicians get paid flat rate? I don't like the flat rate system. It's always the accuracy worth more than speed. You work accurately all the time, speed comes up. Never start a career with bad habits.
No actually they are assigned jobs at the beginning of their shift. Had a friend who was yelled at by the union boss for working too fast. He was told to slow down and never come back looking for more work.
Investigate each and every employee that so much puts their hand on an aircraft at SFO. Believe me, These aren't "Accidents" someone is sabotaging.
you got proof!!!!
Looking forward to my upcoming United flight out of SFO on a trusty Boeing 737
Something is seriously wrong with the Airline Industry.
No, nothing is. This is bogus media reporting
No, you're just believing all this bogus Delta Airlines and Airbus sponsored bogus media
It's going to get worse
I love how soft handed journalist sensationalize a ground handling incident. Flight mishaps and ground mishaps are two very different things. I’ve also worked on aircraft that if they weren’t leaking hydraulic fluid they were empty, but I’m old school.
All of us who realize it's bullshit are buried down in the comments. The paranoid rubes gobbling it up are getting likes and visibility. Media and UA-cam are purposely making people think there's a problem when there isn't one
Well, that can't blame this one on Boeing.
😮
Be careful out there.
Hey Doug, you need a 12 o’clock high Toby mug on your mantelpiece 😜
It’s sabotage, by the crew
I think Dedsec is behind this.
Crazy united airlines better get it together
even SFO is going down the drain along with the entire San Francisco area….
That's gotta be new bowing feature
A message to United!!!
Slow down!!! Make sure it’s quality not quantity!!!
Overall, let’s make sure it’s safety over profits !!!
Check double check triple check quadruple check !!!!
And let’s not forget a lot of experienced United team members have retired. It’s a new team with the lack of leadership.
Please don’t take it offensively it’s the truth!!!
What the actual hell is going on with United 🤦♂️
Someone is going to get hurt if these issues doesn’t get fixed
SFO and San Francisco are both systematically screwed up currently. Unfortunately
They need the 777-9 with folding wing tip.
When it rains it pours…
These DEI recruits are working very well.
Only the best.
I believe every employee needs to be retrained. Too many near misses and accidents
If it continues like this, a terrible tragedy is inevitable. Terrifying.
Was it a Booing ?
No
Safer to replace pilots with AI.
Damn i fly out of Sfo all the time I’m glad this hasn’t happened on a flight that i was on lol not because of fear of safety but my fear of delays lol
This issue about parking spots being tight is not only happening on airports but land vehicle parking spaces too. Seat clearances as well. All in the name of profit. We need better US regulation.
United and their SFO people are a concern.
I think it's strange that Boeing is catching hell for what appears to me to be United issues.
How was your flight?
- shitty!
Why so salty mate?
- no no, it really had the toilet overflowing by our seats. I said that 'matter of factly'.
Diversity is our strength!
What does that have to do with this at all? What data do you have to support your statement?
@@BlownMacTruck Calm down cupcake. The evidence is the CEO publicly saying that he is prioritizing DEI initiatives, which means hiring/promoting people based on having the 'correct' identity, not meritocracy. Which is fine to do at Facebook, but could cost people's lives at an airline.
Im reporting you for hurting black feelings
@@jerrynadler2883 this DEI will be the death of us
@@jerrynadler2883 you spend too much time on the internet and make it your entire personality and world view. How about you go outside and play with a football?
United has best app but apart from that what’s going on!
It’s a huge risk to fly United nowadays
Its Dedsec doing this to United Airline.
1000’s & 1000’s of flights a day! Super safe to fly. Things happen and this incidence is very rare and very minor. Media great at making way too much about mostly everything
Major airline=Some incidents.
Yeah obviously operator error.
Why is this news? These kinds of mishaps happen all the time. You don't see stories about fender benders on the 6 o'clock news, so why this? It's the same thing, just with wings.
I made a similar comment to yours and my comment is also buried and hidden. The media and UA-cam are trying to censor anyone who realizes its bullshit
It used to be so safe to fly...I'm guessing that the airline industry is now also filled with people who care more about an amazing 'work-life' balance than taking pride in their work
Maybe they're having trouble working in their high heels.
I guess everyone two cars back into each other it’s gonna be national news
Meanwhile, United CEO will be getting big bonus 😂😂😂
United is Ready? Nope
SFO United ground crew strikes again!
“A shopping cart clips a parked car”. Where's the outrage?
United airlines rn 🔍
Install rear view mirrors?? Works for cars… just saying
why is this news?
These airline issues were predicted four years ago.
Because they were happening years ago as well
I wonder why United is having so much bad luck right now in relation to it's SFO hub 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
