United Airlines: Their claim vs what the customers say

The company says:

"United is focused on being the airline customers want to fly, the airline employees want to work for and the airline shareholders want to invest in." - About Us, united.com

Their customers say: 

“If I have ANY choice I will never fly with them again based solely on the fact that I don't appreciate the harassment when they should be there to help. Ill pay the extra $30-$50 and fly with someone who cares about their vacationers!” - Kristen, Yelp

“You are fools, United! Your airlines will NEVER stay afloat running business like this ... cheating, stealing from, and treating your customers like dirt.” - PeopleClaim.com User

“I have spent ages on the phone and have truly been talking to robots andI have sent e-mails with no reply. I really think this airline just does not care.” - Suzy, Trip Advisor
