Apple also has a bunch of seats bought and paid for for every flight going to China.

So if someone from Apple has to get there quickly to handle a production issue, they can just go on the next flight. No need to reserve a seat.

It's true and reported by actual journalists. It was just United, not all flights.

Among Apple’s highest expenditures as part of its United contract include 50 business class seats from San Francisco to Shanghai daily, a figure United printed on a sign and mistakenly placed in public viewing at SFO early this year.
