I keep reading here on APC about the UAL guys and our burn it down mentality. How we are pulling on the wrong end of the rope. How cynical we are HOWEVER.....

The worst, most incompetent, inefficient hubs I've ever flown out of in my career and three major airlines later are IAH and EWR. I heard how technologically behind yet EVERY SINGLE I.T. "upgrade" that the CAL boys have introduced are archaic NIGHTMARES far worse than what they replaced! Our systems were without a doubt old and needed upgrade but they worked WAY better and were WAY more efficient and user friendly than the crop that LCAL has shoved down our throats. CCS is a freakishly user unfriendly system that needs tons of training which we never got, to understand. Shares is a flop of unimaginable proportions. The new crew scheduling system is the seventh ring of he!! in regards to the end user.

Old UAL was never run this bad, it never had these kinds of operational problems. Management would actually listen to it's key people on the ground and fix some issues, not all but some. This new "We run the airline you fly the planes" thing simply ain't working out too good is it? But somehow in the minds of some of you guys all of these problems are caused by UAL pilots and wearing a hat is going to fix it somehow?

This is a management problem people not a pilot problem. Is it really that hard to understand?
