Attendants

CHICAGO, Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines today announced the
carrier will equip its flight attendants with Apple's iPhone 6 Plus, putting
important safety and service information at flight attendants' fingertips
while enhancing their ability to meet customers' needs.
The airline will begin distribution to its more than 23,000 mainline flight
attendants during the second quarter of 2015. Upon introduction, the devices
will have the ability to handle most onboard retail transactions and will
enable access to company email, united.com and the company's Intranet as
well as policies and procedures manuals.
Future enhancements include replacing the flight attendants' printed safety
manual with an electronic version on their iPhones and providing real-time
reporting and improved follow-up on aircraft cabin issues and repairs.
Additionally, United plans to develop a number of customer-focused tools for
the device.
"We are thrilled to make this investment in our flight attendants," said Sam
Risoli, United's senior vice president of inflight services. "iPhone 6 Plus
will enable them to deliver an even higher level of flyer-friendly service
and will offer our flight attendants simple, one-touch access to valuable
work information, enabling them to better serve our customers."

The deployment of iPhone 6 Plus for United flight attendants follows the
airline's deployment of iPads to pilots beginning in 2011, in a move toward
creating paperless aircraft and flight decks. United has renewed the iPad
pilot program with iPad Air 2. |
