Groundhog day is a popular Pennsylvania Dutch supersition that has evolved into a tradition celebrated in the United States and Canada in February. Whether or not a groundhog sees his shadow is supposedly indicative of the duration of winter and the coming of spring. In the United States, the most famous groundhog for this tradition is Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog from Punxsutawney, Philadelphia. Punxsutawney was the hometown of the first newspaper to publish an article on groundhog day and has the largest attendance for the event.

United Airlines ran a "You're the Boss" ad campaign during 1976-77 to attract business travelers. Leading up to this campaign, the company researched its customers and found that nearly half of their customer base were business travelers. As a result of this research, United expanded carry-on luggage space and emphasized food and drink quality.

United Airlines was formed with the merger of Boeing Air Transport, National Air Transport, Varney Airlines, and Pacific Air Transport in the 1930s.
