The cynic in me says this is a last ditch effort by flight ops management to patch past mismanagement before they have to explain to the new boss why United can't fly to Aukland or Tel Aviv. I'd be shocked if Oscar was involved in, or even aware of, current pilot negotiations.
That's the point of my post though. If nothing changes then we know that Munoz is just like the other guy and we will then proceed accordingly. We are all hoping for the best, but most of us are probably not expecting much.
