Why did UAL Corp sign a contract that allowed them to be capped at 80 hours? Perhaps they saw some value in having a relatively well rested employee in the cabin? After all, they get to spend the whole flight as the face of the airline. If I were king of this joint, I would want them to be refreshed, valued, happy and incentivized. Yet, this is the FA's fault?

According to info on the other forum, the company has only met 13 times with the AFA over the last four YEARS. Do you remember the laugh out loud offers that management was offering us in our early contract negotiations? Yes, the F/A's are at fault.

Go ahead, validate the carnage. And when we merge with somebody down the road and they want to let YOU go because someone else will do it for less enjoy your plight. But don't expect the F/A's to step up for you and your job.
