| Speech (1989/United States) : In a conference room, a manager announces they have just lost a major long-time client, one too many. It's time for a "face-to-face" policy, in other words, not just call the customer, but also meet him. He starts handing out plane tickets to the other employees... which leaves room for a brilliant conclusion. This is possibly one of the best and most honest commercials around, period. Perhaps it is not the best way to sell an airline, but it's an excellent way to send the message that communication is important.
For several years, viewers have been asking for this commercial. It made many businessmen and customers talk. And now, thanks to an airodyssey.net visitor like you who spotted it on the Internet, you can finally view it.

First day (1982/United States) : So, we have a young flight attendant on her first day. She seems very nervous but, taking advantage of the fact that no one but her has boarded the plane yet, starts "practising" with imaginary passengers. She takes the "job" seriously while other flight attendants enter the plane without her noticing and look rather amused, then proud... As she flies a real flight with real passengers later, her "amateurism" is quicky replaced by professionalism. The idea is quite charming, but the attitude of Nancy during her whole show is quite goofy. The jingle in the background is under the tune of Brotherhood of Man's "United We Stand." which, instead, says "United We Fly."

Special passengers (1992/United States) : Again, the mystery notion is used here. United Airlines starts showing us a parked Boeing 747, and lets us peek inside and... surprise! We find orcas swimming in harmony along, under United's signature song, George Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue" The off-screen voice informs us about their spacious cabins on their 747s. No need to say more: seeing these marine animals swimming inside something seen by us as a rather small space is already enough! The special effects are excellent, and it really sounds like the orcas were swimming inside a cabin full of water. The only question is: if the cabin is full of water, without air pockets, how can they breathe? They're mammals after all!
