United can refer to:
United Airlines, Inc., commonly referred to as United, is a major American airline headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. It is the world's largest airline when measured by number of destinations served, and the second largest when measured by scheduled passenger-kilometres flown. United operates a comprehensive domestic and international route network, and has significant presence in the Asia-Pacific region. In the late 1920s, just prior to the use of the United Airlines name, The Boeing Company, currently one of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers, operated a predecessor airline.
United is a founding member of Star Alliance, the world's first and largest global airline alliance. Regional service is operated by independent carriers under the brand name United Express. Its main competitors are American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Southwest Airlines.
United operates out of nine airline hubs located in Houston, Chicago, Newark/New York, Denver, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Guam, and Tokyo. United also operates maintenance bases in Cleveland and Orlando in addition to the maintenance locations located at United's hubs. George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston is United's largest passenger carrying hub handling 16.6 million passengers annually with an average of 45,413 passengers daily, while Chicago-O'Hare is its largest hub in terms of daily departures. The company employs over 88,500 people while maintaining its headquarters in Chicago's Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower). Through the airline's parent company, United Continental Holdings, it is publicly traded under NYSE: UAL with a market capitalization of over $18 billion as of September, 2014.
An airline is a company that provides air transport services for traveling passengers and freight. Airlines lease or own their aircraft with which to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for mutual benefit. Generally, airline companies are recognized with an air operating certificate or license issued by a governmental aviation body.
Airlines vary from those with a single aircraft carrying mail or cargo, through full-service international airlines operating hundreds of aircraft. Airline services can be categorized as being intercontinental, domestic, regional, or international, and may be operated as scheduled services or charters.
DELAG, Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft was the world's first airline. It was founded on November 16, 1909 with government assistance, and operated airships manufactured by The Zeppelin Corporation. Its headquarters were in Frankfurt. The first fixed wing scheduled air service was started on January 1, 1914 from St. Petersburg, Florida to Tampa, Florida. The four oldest non-dirigible airlines that still exist are Netherlands' KLM, Colombia's Avianca, Australia's Qantas, Polish AeroTarg, and the Czech Republic's Czech Airlines. KLM first flew in May 1920, while Qantas (which stands for Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited) was founded in Queensland, Australia, in late 1920.

The airline randomly selected four passengers to give up their seats for crew members being sent from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky.
The airline has been garnering a lot of attention for enforcing passenger removals and dress codes. Fasten your seat belts for Ellen's monologue all about it!
On the 9th April, 2017, a man was forcibly removed from United Airlines Flight 3411 in Chicago, set for Louisville. While we'd normally say that until we have all the information, we have no information at all, the United response tends to confirm the incident as described by passengers. United Airlines said that ... "Flight 3411 from Chicago to Louisville was overbooked. After our team looked for volunteers, one customer refused to leave the aircraft voluntarily and law enforcement was asked to come to the gate. We apologize for the overbook situation." http://www.flght.org http://www.facebook.com/flightorg http://www.twitter.com/flightorg
A man was dragged off an overbooked United Airlines flight from Chicago O’Hare to Louisville, Ky, on Sunday night after agents couldn’t find volunteers to leave the plane and selected four passengers at random.

A confrontation broke out between a passenger and a United Airlines ticket agent Monday in New Orleans in a dispute about excess baggage. The passenger wanted to know why he was being charged $300 for excess baggage when the same bag cost $125 on the flight coming in. "You do not have my permission to videotape," the employee said in cell phone video recorded by the irate customer. The customer then explained he took out his phone "because you guys have terrible customer service."

More from Inside Edition: http://bit.ly/2bF0iuC Dr. David Dao, 69, the doctor who was dragged off a United Airlines flight Sunday, was filmed moments before the altercation, apparently on the phone with the airline after he was bumped to make room for an employee.

This video was created using a zoetrope machine that spools multiple 14 foot long x 3 inch, paper animation belts at very high speed, to produce the animations. The band members of Appomattox were kind enough to step inside the machine and put their faces 3 inches from the extremely fast moving, and loud, paper belts for this piece. Fortunately, no major facial paper cuts were incurred.

60 sec. spot. Using hinged paper puppets in upright miniature sets, we created this spot over many months of art and toil. This is a stop motion piece shot with digital stills and finished with Adobe After Effects for compositing. Please take note of Kim Blanchette's exeptional stop motion animation! It was during this project that the Caliri bothers stitched together two of their previous, proprietary stop motion software apps to create the beginnings of Dragon Stop Motion. It would be another two and a half years before Dragon Stop Motion software would be released to the public. You can thank Tennessee Norton Reid for convincing Jamie and Dyami to release the software. Thanks Tennessee!!

As I walk this lonely road I am reminded by everything
And I remember just how I tried to make a difference in the end
And there are times you just can't go on but there's a sunrise anyway
And if another's feelings gone you got to live another day
Don't be dis-hearted just get started it will be too late tomorrow
Hold on you belong united we'll find a way
By your side standing with pride united we'll find a way
Through troubled times we will survive united we're alive
Your mind is racing time goes slow feel it smotherin' your soul
Validity of hate and greed cause the burdens that you stole
You never dodged to say goodbye to the all troubles surrounding you
Standing together certainly we are you united so bored and true
Don't be dis-hearted just get started it will be too late tomorrow
Hold on you belong united we'll find a way
By your side standing with pride united we'll find a way
Through troubled times we will survive united we're alive
Hold on to your heart tomorrow can be your brand new start
A new day a new way finding the better path to take
Hold on to your heart and find the strength inside
Hold on together we will survive we will survive
Hold on you belong united we'll find a way
By your side standing with pride united we'll find a way
Hold on you belong united we'll find a way (we are alone)
By your side standing with pride united we'll find a way
