Just came back from cross-country trip flying United.
No kidding, even the worst Airlines I’ve flown (Air France and now-defunct Deccan Airways of India) do not hold a candle to the condescending staff and torturing seats.

Some minutes before boarding time, I started walking back to my gate. The gate staff was furious. "Hurry up! Where have you been?!" I was perplexed. Boarding time hadn't even started yet. There had been no speaker calls, at least not where I was.
"Hurry up! The pilots want to leave early!"
Yeah, and I don't want to be yelled at for keeping to our agreed time. So I guess that evened out. No one got what they wanted.
After one delay of five hours, the flight attendant came by offering a tiny bag or pretzels (with four pretzels) or a cookie. When I said “both” I got “it’s one or the other”. I reminded her that this flight was five hours late, I missed my business dinner, and we would not be landing until 1am after all the restaurants were closed.
I got both, but honestly…how tone deaf does your employees need to be?
If you fly in the US, how would you compare them to Air France?
I recently flew a route that was half Delta and half Air France, and Delta was a lot better.
