Friends at AA sound a little disgruntled with the company right now, e.g. unhappy with leadership, unhappy with where the brand is going, etc. you don’t hear those kinds of complaints from Delta or SWA guys. Friends at United are very enthusiastic about Oscar and how he cares for the people but are concerned about Kirby and what he’d do to the company and contracts if given the chance.
There’s still a lot of animosity amongst the old heads at United with stuff that went down 5, 10, 20 years ago. The continental merger, the “lost generation”, the summer of love, double furloughs, etc.
Personally I was put off from American’s hiring fairs and the ****-show impression it left. I think United has the most upside going forward, especially as some of that negative history actually becomes history through retirements. Plus with the hiring UAL is doing right now it’s a great time to be a new hire.
