Sorry you never got to work for a good airline. Timing is everything!

Why is it an airline half the size of United (at one time a third the size of United) came in and broke what wasn't broken? "I heard it will be fixed..." seems to be the mantra and excuse for everything at the "New United."

United Airlines had the infrastructure, the res-system, the training facilities and industry leading practices, an enviable safety record, the aircraft seating (first, business and econ+) desired by the traveling public and yes even an employee pass-travel seniority system which was fair to almost 100,000 employees at its peak. But now its broke?

I could go on but is the New United Management really saving money by breaking all the stuff which worked and retraining two-thirds of its employees on a broke system, with a promise to fix it in the future (and bring it back to the standard already in place at United)?

I guess I just don't get it at all????

"Just remember they BOUGHT YOU."

Come on now let's just get the facts straight here. A airline over 1/2 the size of United without the financing in place to pay for the airplanes they were to take delivery on in 2012 BOUGHT UAL? Dude don't take any drug tests or you just might be on the street.

The facts are UAL management sold out to pocket over 40 million dollars in bonuses in ONE YEAR!!! Made Jeff's seem like chicken feed last year.

Hang in there and you'll be ok. You need to get as far away from eagle as possible.

I've deduced from your posts on other threads that you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Proved once again here. And I'm not even going to bother to set you straight.

The big problem is, simply, they don't care when it comes to anything and everything about their employees. In turn, that has forced me (and I'm guessing you) to not care about anything and everything that has to do with United Airlines.

Might I suggest that you use that keyboard in front of you to do a tiny bit of research on the facts of the transaction before you post? I'd start with google and the NYT or WSJ. The facts of the transaction are in black and white. The "who bought who" part is there and where the money came from.

Not that any of the details matter at this point, but when you post something so stupid and easily verified it makes the rest of us think you're the village idiot. Either that or you're too lazy to get the facts and too arrogant to think you can come on here set us straight.

You were 11 years old during the summer of love. Don't tell those of us who were flying the line that year what happened. And don't tell us what was wrong with our airline. You don't have a clue.

Dude, wise up. You're so far out in left field that we need binoculars to see you.

James can't believe some of what he reads on this forum. While there used to be a certain amount of high school bravado and uninformed management wannabe's present, now we need to read from the Candyland crowd as well.

The "new" system definately has a bunch of problems that need to be fixed.. For instance I saw a gate agent(ord) trying to deny an offline pilot the j/s because they were told all pilots and f/a's were to list online from that day fwd... Lucky for the AA guy the Capt. was strolling up to the gate..You cant list OMC online. maybe mainline guys can... Also as a commuter, and a UAX pilot (XJT) I feel the pain with the boarding priorities. I am used to boarding after retirees,non-accompanied pass riders and anyone else other then offline folks.. It would be nice, since we provide lift for ua to have a little bit of priority when commuting to/from work. But that's the agreement our management teams put together for us.
