Ah yes, the "Attny". If you expect motivated pilots like you find at places like Southwest and Fedex then take a look at the Southwest and Fedex profile pages on this website. Compare them with United's and you will see what it takes to achieve such motivation. As far as "adult professionals" go? December 1978! That's the last time one my airline's pilots made a fatal mistake. That is second to none amongst our industry peers and damn impressive when you consider that we were the largest airline in the free world for many of those years since. In the meantime, how about you do your job and we'll do ours? No more, no less.
