A United Boeing 737-900, registration N69830 performing flight UA-343 from Chicago O'Hare,IL to San Francisco,CA (USA), was climbing through about FL250 out of Chicago when the crew stopped the climb, descended the aircraft to 10,000 feet and returned to Chicago for a safe landing on runway 27C about one hour after departure.

The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground about 25 hours after landing back.

The FAA reported: "United Airlines Flight 343 returned to and landed safely at Chicago O'Hare International Airport around noon local time on Wednesday, July 3, after the crew reported a pressurization issue.

Continental Airlines will forever be known at best only for their well known anti worker leader, Frank Lorernzo and his ability to extract cash for himself then bankrupt airlines. Superiority is a word never used in the same sentence. Good riddance that scab airline.

Continental Airlines was absorbed into United Airlines on March 03, 2012. Continental was, from my passenger experience, the superior airline; but it no longer exists.


I don't see the location or the maintenance shop in the SDRs.

The database I checked doesn't display fields for where the work was done or which organization did it. Sorry. It does say this, though:

Air Carrier Name CONTINENTAL AIRLINES INC

And that's from an SDR in 2023 November.

I'm happy to know that UAL still has its own MRO, point of pride, which makes for a great organization.

You mean well maintained by mainline United Airlines mechanics since aircraft acquisition. Check it's work history.

Looks like she has a good service record. The media will be disappointed if they can't sensationalize this one.
