The target audience is Wall Street, industry analysts, the UAL Board and Oscar. Our absolute dead last target audience is the general public. To demonstrate labor unrest exists at United. Has absolutely nothing to do with anyone having any sympathy for us, never does. This is standard ops in all pilot contact campaigns. However, today we have additional leverage since we can embarrass Oscar and indicate to the financial community that Oscar and Kirby’s financial plans may have some kinks. It’s all about labor unrest and optics!
