I dont think he said UAL. Look at the quote it says a "legacy". Not specifically UAL.

"As to the MDW accident. You have a carrier that refuses to allow the use of auto-thrust, auto brakes, VNAV. What did the lack of these items have to do with the MDW crash? It reflects the company's personality of cowboy flying. BUR comes to mind as another good example. These items don't necessarily create a safer flight but they are workload tools. What about the 2 hours before the crash that they were managing the airplane in a manner that would have been eased if they had access to auto-throttles? Dumbing down the airplane to meet the Pay For Training new hires that SWA takes is a shame on the carrier. These items are tools that can add to the safety of a flight if you let them. Think the two guys that said they did not know the SOP needed to take the highest performance hit that made it illegal for them to land would have preferred to have more BB's to use in the planning? Give them throttles and they have one less thing to worry about."

Are they auto thrust or auto throttles? One sentence you say we dont need these for the dumbing down of the A/C for new hires. Then you say how much it eases the workload. Well which is it? Auto throttles are not that hard to use. Unlike the 300hr wonder pilots that United has hired. I am sure they are all aces. Oh thats right some cant/wont ever upgrade, due to their lack of flying ability. I am sure UAL has never had an accident. Right? Lets not rehash some of Uniteds misfortunes you idiot. Get a life. I guess SWA turned your God like a55 down and thats the reason for the bitterness.
