The list was insulting, immature, and not done in good faith.
Not only is their proposal not likely to even be considered by the panel, it has fostered a sense of anger from the UAL side, as can be witnessed on this forum.
Blah blah blah!
Save your outrage! I'd wager that the CAL side of the house will be as outraged by the UAL sides proposal.
All I've heard here the last few months is a sense of entitlement that is hardly justified by the facts. UAL was a dying airline, with an ancient fleet, bloated staffing, lousy morale, and a terrible reputation.
But, as others have said here, at the end of the day, the three neutrals will separate fact from fiction and we'll get to a list, which likely nobody is going to like!
