United Airlines

Dave A.’s father suggested he get his foot in the door at United while he thought about his long-term plans. That was in 1974. 50 years later, the SFO Quality Control Aircraft Inspector just received the highest honor in aircraft maintenance, the FAA’s Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award. Recognizing career longevity, superior performance and peer nominations, this achievement honors Dave’s landmark advances in his specialty, advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) methods. Congratulations! We’re so glad you listened to your dad, Carlos (who also worked at United), all those years ago. ??

Our new special livery is here to say the Future is SAF! This 787 Dreamliner got the special livery treatment to help us spread the word about sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).* SAF is an alternative to conventional jet fuel that, on a lifecycle basis, reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with flying compared to conventional jet fuel alone. United used more SAF than any other U.S. airline last year.** So why a Dreamliner? It's the most fuel efficient widebody in our fleet, using 20-25% less fuel than other aircraft in its class with 25% fewer emissions. Learn more about SAF: uafly.co/4gs9b7Q
