Conversely, when the airline fails, all of us suffer. I don’t understand the attitude of “F it, not my job, let this ***** crash and burn because it isn’t my problem”. It is our problem, like it or not to the customer we are the leadership face of United.

It boggles my mind that Newark can fail so badly everyday during every summer season and absolutely nothing has changed? Who is ok with that? Pilots are born and bred to solve problems, this isn’t impossible to figure out. Not to mention that fixing Newark would save the company many more millions of $ then probably any other cost cutting measure within our control.
I disagree. It is not our (pilots) problem to fix. Do you honestly believe that anything you tell managers about these issues is being considered?!? These problems are for management to fix. My job is to fly the aircraft safely from point A to B, fly the contract without apology, and keep my crew and passengers as comfortable and informed as I can. I don’t get worked up about things that are beyond my control
