Good to have this stated upfront, so travel junkies will understand travel taxes and fees will be paid by someone. And they will be paid at the full fare price, so travel benefits are not spectacular.
"Travel subject to service charges/restrictions."
United can claim it is by choice, but it is by law. Or is "Choice" with a capital C a special United Airlines word that has a different meaning than "choice" with a lowercase c?
"Equal Opportunity Employer by Choice."
I hope so! Bonuses outside of policies would tear down morale.
"Bonuses awarded only under terms of United's plans/policies."
Is "architecting" a real word?
In other job openings, United is looking for battery experts to help Boeing fix the 787 spontaneous combustion issue.
