UA employees: quit fighting among yourselves! It is not one group''s fault, or another group''s fault or management''s fault. The way you do business and the way you are organized has simply been outflanked by more aggressive competitors.
Joseph Schumpeter, the economist, recognized that our capitalist economy grows by having new competitors vanquish old competitors by innovation. You must recognize that the airlines who are winning this game are populated by pilots and mechanics and management who are willing and able to do more work for less money. PERIOD.
Mechanics AND pilots at Southwest and Jetblue work much, much more for much, much less than do UA employees. NO WONDER YOURE UPSET!
But it''s the truth. And if UA fails, there will be many more THOUSANDS of employees who will suddenly be motivated to do much more, for much less.
Count on it.
It may not be fair...but it IS REAL.
