United asks feds not to use their aircraft to transport migrant children
By Mallory Shelbourne - 06/20/18 01:47 PM EDT

United Airlines on Wednesday asked federal officials not to use the carrier to transfer migrant children who have been separated from their families at the southern border.

The company in a statement said it wants "no part" of the zero tolerance immigration policy that is leading to the separation of children from their families.

“Based on our serious concerns about this policy and how it’s in deep conflict with our company’s values, we have contacted federal officials to inform them that they should not transport immigrant children on United aircraft who have been separated from their parents," United CEO Oscar Munoz said in a statement.

Does a "common carrier" have a choice?  I'd pile them on UA just to piss them off.

Wouldn't want children traveling on United anyway.  The airline hasn't had a good record lately transporting dogs.  The kids might be DOA.

Given their record with small animals the kids may have escaped a similar fate.
