"United Airlines had a catastrophic past week. After a man was violently dragged off one of its planes to make room for a United crew member who needed his seat, the airline issued a tone-deaf non-apology for the man’s injuries and suffered a massive loss in the stock market. Then, on a different United flight, a man was stung by a scorpion that dropped out of a plane’s overhead bin.
And the American people have taken note.
According to a Morning Consult poll that surveyed a national sample of 1,976 American adults, 79 percent of respondents who had heard about United’s recent news said they would choose a different airline if that airline — the poll specifically used American Airlines as a stand-in — offered an identical flight for the same price.
Further, when presented with a hypothetical scenario in which the competing flight was both more expensive and longer, requiring a layover instead of a direct arrival, 44 percent of the respondents who had heard about United’s recent news would still choose the alternative flight rather than fly United.”*
