Pictures from UA Open House / Fleet Week at SFO

Matthew Klint Posted onOctober 12, 2010November 14, 2023 2 Comments

As promised, here are my pictures from Sunday’s Family Day Open House at SFO. I want to again thank Frank Dean for graciously extending me an invitation to the event and for all the folks at UA who made this day possible. Although I missed Jeff Smisek by about ten minutes, there was much to see, as the pictures below illustrate. I may not be a United employee, but as the days (and years) go on it sure seems like I’m part of the United family.

    @Juliet: The event was for UA and CO employees, but a handful of FTers were given tickets. Monitor FT around this time next year for the chance to get free tickets.
