I fly UA twice a year via EWR, SFO or ORD to PEK or PVG and back. Usually a 777 but also 747 (via SFO). Think the number of seats across are different on the 777 depending on if there is a GF or not. Never been on AA although my colleague who is a AA fan does. I agree with what other posters have said, UA flights are full and the service is less than friendly although I've had great service via SFO and EWR to be fair.
Almost every fortune and misfortune in The Odyssey is a scene of men eating or being eaten. Every kindness culminates in a meal, and nearly every trial culminates in cannibalism or poison. Scylla, the Cyclops, and the Laestrygonians all eat some of Odysseus's men; Circe and the Lotus Eaters slip the men harmful drugs; and the feast of the Cattle of the Sun results in the destruction of his remaining crew. The suitors dishonor Odysseus's household by their incessant feasting, and various people honor Odysseus by giving him food and wine.
The next day as the Cyclops was away from the cave, Odysseus had his men create a sharpened stake. The Cyclops returned and began drinking wine and conversing with Odysseus. Odysseus told Polyphemus that his name was Noman. Once the Cyclops fell into a drunken stupor, the men drove the stake through the eye of the Cyclops, as shown on this plate.
