United launched an investigation and uncovered a “brokering scheme” in which workers would ask colleagues for travel passes then sell them to outsiders.

Some employees were also found to have falsified documents so that they could name people who bought the travel passes as their relatives or domestic partners.

The airline said some workers willingly gave up their travel passes in exchange for money. Others were deceived into giving away their passes, believing that they would be given to friends or family instead.

The company fired the workers who were said to be involved in the scheme. Some believed the practice was allowed since they were not using their passes.

Frank Benenati, a spokesperson for United, clarified the company’s policy on using these special travel perks.

MANHATTAN, New York City (WABC) — The unique course of the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon closes down the Crossroads of the Worlds — Times Square — and also cuts through the famed Great White Way.

And from the bright lights of the Broadway stage, one runner is hearing cheers for a different kind of performance.

Actor Jason Danieley is running in memory of his Tony Award-nominated wife, Marin Mazzie, for Cancer Support Community.

He’s used to eyes on him while on stage, as he currently stars in Pretty Woman the Musical. But this time, he’ll be running by the Nederlander Theatre to applause for another pretty woman.

“Marin and I were together 22 years,” he said. “That’s a long time. That’s almost half of my life.”

His late wife, who died last September following a three-year battle with ovarian cancer, was a three-time Tony-nominated actress known for powerhouse Broadway performances in “Ragtime,” “Passion” and “Kiss Me, Kate.”

The couple was on stage together for the last time at Feinstein’s 54 Below.

“We’ve played all the rooms in New York, and this is by and far our favorite place to play,” he said.

Their talent together transcended the stage, and their love became a platform to influence others — at Feinstein’s, they have a specialty cocktail called Marin’s Sunflower Power.

Fundraising at 54 Below is a fun way to toast her legacy, and honoring Mazzie’s hope to empower others facing cancer made choosing a running charity as simple as the shirt on his back.

“I would be running behind someone who was from Memorial Sloan Kettering or the Alzheimer’s Association or, you know, Cancer Support Community,” he said.

His purpose was their purpose — a nationwide effort to help patients and families get support.

“I’m running for Cancer Support Community, which is a national organization that gives over $50 million in free services to people living with cancer and the families,” he said. “And they’re associated with the Gilda’s Club.”

That organization is named after Gilda Radner, who also died of ovarian cancer.

During his runs, he feels Mazzie’s support and energy.

“I can’t do it by myself,” he said. “She’s with me every step of the way, encouraging me and giving me the strength to do this.”

It is a special kind of harmony that will take him beyond the finish line, with a Pretty Woman’s legacy.

As Vanessa Diservio prepares for the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, she’s not only running for herself — but also to set an example for her students.

A United Airlines flight from Newark caught fire Sunday night just before landing safely in Houston.

The Boeing 737-900 jet was carrying 180 passengers, many of whom reported hearing a loud bang and seeing a flash of light before the plane landed safely. Passengers were asked to exit the plane via emergency slides, NJ.com reported. No injuries were reported.

“People were starting to panic. Everyone kept hitting the flight attendant call button,” one passenger told ABC13. 

Airlines around the world grounded Boeing planes this week, specifically the Boeing 737 Max 8s, one of the manufacturers newest models, after an Ethiopian Airlines flight en route to Nairobi crashed shortly after takeoff and killed all 157 people on board. That was just five months after another 737 Max 8 flown by Lion Air went down off the coast of Indonesia, killing all 189 passengers.

CNN reported both planes had been brand new at the time and went down within minutes of takeoff.

Boeing 737 Max 8 aircrafts are the company’s newest jets, succeeding Boeing 737 Next Generation planes like the Boeing 737-900. China’s main airlines are the biggest users of the new jets so far, according to the New York Times.

Shares of Boeing’s stock fell 12 percent shortly after trading opened on Wall Street on Monday. 

International investigations regarding the planes are under way, and multiple countries have banned the 737 Max 8s amid safety concerns.

United Airlines was operating two versions of the Boeing 737 family –  the Boeing 737-800 and 900 and the Boeing 737 Max 8 and 9.

The 737-800s are not the same as the Max aircraft.

---

United only had 14 B737 Max in operation which have now been grounded because of the FAA order.

In a statement from United Airlines spokesperson, Rachael L. Rivas, she told eTurboNews:

“Nothing is more important to United Airlines than the safety of our customers and employees. As we have said since Sunday, we have been in close contact with investigators as well as Boeing to share data and fully cooperate with regulatory authorities.

“We will comply with the FAA’s order and will ground our 14 737 MAX aircraft. We will remain in close touch with authorities as their investigation continues.

“Since Sunday, we have been working diligently on contingency plans to prepare our fleet to minimize the impact to customers. Our MAX aircraft account for roughly 40 flights a day, and through a combination of spare aircraft and rebooking customers, we do not anticipate a significant operational impact as a result of this order. We will continue to work with our customers to help minimize any disruption to their travel.”

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — Guide dogs are familiar companions for humans who need them, and now, a team of running guide dogs is about to break another barrier.

Thanks to permission from New York Road Runners, a relay of three dogs are on course to do something that’s never been done before — cross the finish line and collect a medal for guiding a blind runner 13.1 miles.

Tom Panek has used human guides to run races in the past, and we first met him in 2014 when he ran the Boston Marathon to raise money for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. The non-profit offers guide dogs to those in need.

Guiding Eyes now has its own running team, and guide dog Gus joined Panek and Eyewitness News meteorologist Amy Freeze for a recent run.

“These are their running shoes,” Panek said. “The socks to keep them from getting blisters…They have their own running gear just like we do.”

And these pups are going the distance to lead humans who cannot see but want to run.

“There’s a big demand from people who have vision loss that want to be active, want to be well like the rest of us, want to get out there with their dog,” Panek said.

Gus is joined on the team by Waffle and her brother Westly, and for the first time ever, the relay of three guide dogs will each run about five miles and take Panek to the finsish line of the 2019 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon.

“The biggest obstacle is getting it done at a faster pace, moving with the dog and keeping our footwork together,” Panek said. “Like everybody else, one step at a time.”

While other runners have their sight to navigate curbs, potholes and other runners, Panek has the dog.

“It’s a long race, but dogs are running creatures and they love to move and run,” he said. “A lot of times, when we’re walking our dogs, we are holding them back. They want to get out and have fun, and they love it…keeping me on course and getting me across the finish line.”

Raised by volunteers and trained to run this distance, these dogs are about to become part of history.

“These dogs will have on their names on own bibs,” Panek said. “And they’ll medal at the end, so cheer these dogs on.”

After all, they represent animals that serve humans in ways that make everything seem possible.

“No matter what your challenge or disability is, you can do it,” Panek said. “You can do it, one step at a time.”

DENVER (CBS4)– United Airlines is testing a new tool at Denver International Airport. The tool is designed to make sure customers don’t miss their connecting flights.

United is using new software to help employees decide whether to hold a flight.

(credit: CNN)

The airline says the program only has a minimum impact on passengers. That’s because airlines typically only hold planes that will still arrive on time even if it departs a little late.

United says the program has already saved thousands of connections. The plan is to roll out the tool in other airports later this year.

United Airlines will keep its headquarters in Willis Tower for at least another 14 years, after being courted by owners of megadevelopment sites along the Chicago River.

The Chicago-based airline said it has extended its lease in Chicago’s tallest skyscraper until 2033, following a year-and-a-half search for a potential new headquarters campus in Chicago.

United’s decision to stay put takes the airline out of play for developers looking for tenants to kick off some of the biggest mixed-use developments ever proposed in the Chicago.

The company will revamp, in stages, its 850,000 square feet of space on 16 floors of the former Sears Tower. United will add a 30,000-square-foot cafeteria and roof deck on the fourth floor.

One week after a landing accident halted passenger travel to and from the Presque Isle International Airport, a timeline for resuming travel remained unclear, but United Airlines has vowed to assist affected flyers until the airport reopens.

On about 11:30 a.m. March 4, a 50-seat Embraer 145 jet operated by CommuteAir for United Airlines made its second attempt at landing and slid off the runway at Presque Isle International Airport, leaving several people with minor injuries and badly damaging the plane.

In the days that followed, the National Transportation Safety Board started an investigation and had the plane removed from the scene.

Terry Williams, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board, said the agency will likely have a preliminary report on the incident released within 10 days, although this will not have an analysis or a determination of cause. The full investigation and its report will be complete within a year, he said.

Meanwhile, it remains unclear when passenger travel will resume at the airport. Freight planes resumed flying the day after the accident, but neither local officials nor United Airlines could offer a timeline for passenger flights resuming.

Kim Smith, public information officer for the city of Presque Isle, said that the airport did not know when passenger flights could resume and did not have any further information as of Monday.

Following the accident and passenger air shutdown, United Airlines has offered affected customers a travel waiver that currently covers travel dates through March 15. A United spokesperson said the waiver will be extended until the airport reopens.

Under this offer, posted on United’s travel notices page, change fees and differences in fare will be waived for new United flights departing between March 4 and April 1 between the same cities. The waiver also states that for rescheduled travel departing after April 1, the change fee will be waived but a difference in fare may apply.

United Airlines, through CommuteAir, has served Presque Isle with daily flights to and from Liberty International Airport in New Jersey since July 2018. The United service replaced PenAir’s service to Boston under the federal Essential Air Services program that subsidizes air travel in rural communities. United Airlines receives a $4.78 million annual subsidy for the service, which provides 12 round-trip flights per week, under a contract which runs through June 2020.
