Nope, try again. You're NOT getting "hosed" by express employees. You're getting hosed by the management at United Airlines. When people wake up and realize this fight ISN'T with each other but against J-Lo and company, they'll probably sleep better at night.

Open up your scan, increase your SA.

People can cry foul all they want about what the express employee "should" do. Sure, just like the 2 years the JS glitch existed. There were PLENTY of mainline pilots that "should" have done the "right thing". Nope, didn't stop them exploiting the crap out of that issue.
