Former Head of Largest Flight Attendant and Onboard Operation in the World
CHICAGO, May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Airlines (OTC Bulletin Board: UALAQ - News) today announced that Jane Allen has been named senior vice president -- Onboard Services, with responsibility for United''s flight attendant, food and beverage and duty-free operations worldwide.

Her experience has provided her with the ability both to view management''s priorities through the eyes of flight attendants, and to view flight attendants'' priorities through the eyes of management, giving her a critical perspective. With this skill, Jane will make a substantial contribution in helping United and its flight attendants continue to work together to build a stronger future.
I''m very pleased to be joining United at a moment when enormous opportunities are opening up for the company and its employees, said Allen. United''s flight attendants are delivering company records in customer service, and have made clear their commitment to the company, so I am looking forward to helping this company and its people become a sustainable and successful enterprise for the long term.
