To a European like me, United was such a weird airline to fly. There were actual commercials played before the safety video, the cabin crew warned passengers to make sure children cannot see the adult content they're watching (can you get more American than that?), and their credit card was offered multiple times during the flight. At least the WiFi was reasonably cheap. Over here, that stuff would never fly (no pun…

Try flying Lufthansa (or one of their half dozen subsidiaries created almost entirely to give worse service) anywhere inside of europe. Everything is a money grab and the service and boarding are terrible.
United maintains a relatively consistent experience between domestic and international, minus the free alcohol.

>the cabin crew warned passengers to make sure children cannot see the adult content they're watching (can you get more American than that?) Is it considered normal in Europe to watch pornography on public transit in public so children can see it? >Lufthansa longhaul flight My experience is different. Old planes, and Lufthansa cabin crew are cold and service was poor and inattentive.

Engine problems are hardly the only Boeing issue in recent years. Nor am I inclined to give them a pass on those; they are most certainly heavily involved in the engine design and production process, as they are on most outsourced parts they use.
How does Boeing being involved in engine design involve an aging airframe on a major Carrier?
To be fair, I read all of it, and both sides of the question interest me. But the engine failure and the economics of the 777 are totally different things.

Remind me what company is responsible for making the 777-200 engines (hint: it’s not Boeing)
