The Importance of Good Reputation Management
United Airlines was all over the news last month for forcibly removing a passenger from one of their planes. The now viral and hot-button incident began when gate agents for the airline asked for volunteers to give up their seats on a Louisville, Kentucky-bound Flight (flight number 3411) to make room for a United crew which needed to meet a connecting flight. The incident escalated and before passengers knew it, Dr. David Dao was taken from his seat and escorted off the plane with physical injuries to boot.
Fast forward just a week and United Airlines had another problem when Carrie Miller reported, after being refused gate check privileges for her cello, that her instrument was smashed to pieces, despite being in a protective hard case. Luckily, Miller was able to raise the requisite $11,000 on GoFundMe.com in order to buy a new cello.
As far as United Airlines goes, the real damage has already been done. This is why in the middle of April, United had put out an ad looking for two managers for Brand Public Relations. The job posting said that the company was “reimagining” their current global communications team and looking for someone with the ability of “creating and maintaining a favorable image and brand reputation” for United Airlines in either San Francisco or New York.

A customer has the option to switch over to a competing service with startling convenience.
