This newspaper is way out in left field. They are correct no pilot will lose their job, UA is discontinuing unprofitable routes and some pilots will be displaced.
God help them if they had seen what happened to DEN, SEA, LAX and IAH!
Agreed. Went and dug up the article. Seems like a "journalist" blowing a couple of route cuts into a full-blown "shut down". Ho-hum. Just more drive-by journalism. Never let facts get in the way of a good story.
