Yep! But don't knock it. Helicopters save lives but are expensive to run and maintain. This is an instant cash injection into the aid fund and when you're sitting on a rooftop with nothing but your clothes in 90+F surrounded by filthy water you don't ask questions.

Hey, I don't see United on that list. :)
We are sending a plane full of relief supplies (yesterday or today), and we are returning with our stranded employees and their families. The flight won't be open for sale, probably due to the employee load. Another perk for working at an airline.

Probably because United doesn't have any money :)

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Irresistible impulse (see
Anatomy of a Murder for that one).
