~SLS's review of United Airlines customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's United Airlines customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~SLS: They never responded. **I fly constantly for international business, and I have never in my life seen a sh*ttier, less caring airline than United. I don't believe I've ever gotten anyone on the phone in less than * hours of waiting, and even then I get transferred to someone else and have to wait an additional *-* hours. One time, while waiting to speak to someone about changing a flight due to my grandma's funeral coming up unexpectedly in the middle of a trip, I literally called them, waited for * hours on hold, put the phone down, went to a family dinner for about * hours, came back and was STILL in the waiting queue. They didn't answer until a total of * HOURS had passed. It was near *am when that happened, and then the CS rep was rude as all get out. Nothing was resolved until I found the email for their Senior VP, and CC-ed the CS department. I was absolutely LIVID.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting United Airlines. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a United Airlines problem?
~SLS: I'd give them a two out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~SLS: I'd give them a three out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about United Airlines's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~SLS: For that I would say five out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other United Airlines customers?
~SLS: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for United Airlines to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~SLS taken from his United Airlines customer service problem that occurred on November 18th, 2017.
