The UAL Pilots Forum is obviously the only real United pilots forum for many of the reasons stated and more.
To recap,
United pilots only.
It is a free, not-for-profit forum that does not distinguish based on pilot backgrounds.
There is far less moderating done than on this or other forums.
There is no union oversight or interference.
Pilots are identified by their names so there is personal accountability.

I find it interesting that those who are critical of it are simply unwilling or unable to participate in such an environment in which one's arguments stand or fall on their own merits. It is pretty obvious that many pilots are simply not used to their opinions and arguments being scrutinized by such vigorous debate that is actually the ultimate form of CRM. My guess they far prefer pontificating under the cover of this forum's anonymity or one populated with only one, like-minded segment of the pilot group.
What a shame.
