    So United Airlines gets back to me... sort of

    After formally submitting my complaint on Monday afternoon, I finally got a criptic response from United Airlines Thursday night. I am at a loss to understand by what they mean by "good will appreciation online" or by "token of our appreciation". I have not heard from them till this correspondence nor have I received anything from them. I replied back asking for clarity and to address the bad customer service I received. Here is the letter:

     

    Dear Mr. Faulkner,
    
    Thank you for writing us about your flights from Denver to Austin on
    September 19 - 20, 2010.  We appreciate the time you have taken to
    contact us.
    
    I am sorry your flight was cancelled.  United is committed to operating
    a reliable schedule for every customer with safety always being our
    number one concern.  We recognize how important it is to you to get to
    your destination on time, however daily operational challenges sometimes
    interfere with our schedules.  We've made significant improvement to our
    on-time performance, but still have work to do.  Your feedback will help
    us target further improvement to ensure you have a more pleasant travel
    experience the next time you fly.
    
    I am happy you were able to retrieve good will appreciation online.  I
    hope you can use it to provide you with a chance to experience the
    service you deserve.  
     
    I trust this token of our appreciation will help to tangibly express our
    gratitude.  We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the
    near future.
     
    Please fill out the survey where you can rate my individual performance.
    I value your feedback and hope that you walked away very satisfied with
    my service.  If I could have been better in handling your request,
    please reply and let me know what could have been done differently.
    
    Regards,
    
    Glen Sherif

    What a weird letter. It figures that they focused on the flight cancellation and ignored the major customer service breakdown, which, I notice, they don't even mention much less apologize for. And that bit at the end about filling out a survey about his individual performance—WHAT performance? He didn't do anything except be deliberately obtuse about your complaint.
