That’s funny stuff!

This is starting to have all the makings of the Sumner of Love 2000. That summer, the company’s poor execution of training and scheduling let to operational meltdowns and the weight of the operation collapsed on itself.

Predictably, management blamed labor and even claimed illegal job actions were the cause of operational failures. The reality was then, as it is today, training and manpower shortages to meet peak travel demand.

I want to keep passengers coming back and to be part of making United “the biggest and best airline in the history of the planet” (or whatever the saying is) but it’s hard to continually run at redline while I’m falling further and further behind to inflation.
