- 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.
I couldn’t agree with you anymore. Where is the accountability? I would love for SK to get involved directly and put the power of his brain and his team’s behind this. I refuse to believe there is not a better way. Too many dinosaurs on here that throw their hands up. I suppose 30yrs of EWR will do that to a man.
