News Report Management pilot? Whats the real story?

You will take those 737's and you will like it- so says UAL Mgt.

1.1B not including special items.

The merger is not over. Its just not happening now. Today the Officers scammed their way through the annual meeting and got re-elected. See this topic United Officers hide from shareholders..

Anyone think the VP of Customer Experience will get escorted away? Despite the continued last place DOT rating in complaints? How about the VP of Employee Experience? :down:

This fee is just insanity and will only push for more government intervention. From a revenue side, I don't see how this is going to help the overall operation. CSR's, FA's, & Ramp are going to be working a small nightmare for each departure. Flights will be delayed further, and for what...

United Officers held their annual shareholders meeting in Woodland Hills, CA.- a suburb of Los Angeles. This way very few shareholders could show up and voice their negative opinion about the worst managed airline in the industry and yet all of the officers could be re-elected. They, then had...

When United dumps its 737 and 747 fleets, there will still be a need to fill the seats on the international flights. An alliance will help to solve this problem and at the same time further to groom United to be bought out. Anyone question WN's $600 mil loan now? Lots of cheap 737's out...

Fuel prices are predicted to increase even higher this year and consumer debt and inflation are a concern. At some point we'll see further decline in demand. The US/AWA pilots are still battling for seniority and any merger attempt between any of the legacy carriers will certainly see the...

Does a merger need the pilots to comply with? Not trying to piss anyone off but the US/AWA merger took place. I know their operation isn't great but neither is United's as it is now and United's management isn't exactly labor friendly anyway.

The Delta/NW valentine didn't work and there are no negotiations between the pilot groups. Time for Delta & United?
