Actually, the company somehow determined that the first three 777-300s were traded for sub-CO 787s (even though CAL only ordered 25 Sparkies to begin with), so the LCAL FAs will get to fly those three; the remaining 11 will be flown by LUAL stews. The LCAL girls seem to forget that United once had a huge presence, internationally and domestically over at that other insignificant international airport across the river that we abandoned after the merger. Because we know how much our rich Long Island business customers love driving to Sewark.
No doubt it's BAD JuJu but the bigger problem is leadership. OM started with a bang, had medical problem and come back only to find a more hostile board.
For the most part, we still see the people that helped orchestrate the JS merger driving the ship. With OM's medical condition and lack of knowledge of real airline operational issues, he's NOT keeping these guys in check. The current results are what you see and the biggest issue of getting all merger related issues resolved should have been at the TOP of OM's todo list.
Look, JS people sold the pilots a 2 year contract extension under the OM watch. We went for a 13% raise. Why can't they work with the F/A and mechanic unions to get them on the same page. Does OM disrespect and see these groups as expendable and replaceable - shame on you Oscar.
