- When will this end?
- Who is getting fired?
- Does United think it’s customers are going to tolerate this?
- Fun fact: Not having a gate for 30+ mins isn’t because I pushed back 5 mins early…
- The nonsense about delayed engine start and minimum APU use to save money is null considering how much fuel we burn and extra pay the company outlays for crew pay everyday doing this.

Guessing this is just the tip of the iceberg, summer travel will exacerbate all of it. UFB.
Did you read Fabian's recent email? It explains the EWR sutuation pretty well and has some suggestions on things we can do to help get out on time.
