UAL will have no issues filling seats as long as the contract is generally recognized as #2 or #3 in the industry. Lots of shiny new WB jet syndrome and fleet diversity points.
WN has issues because of ping upgrade times
if anyone AA will have issues before UA and I don’t think they do.
it is ludicrous to assume that you have to be #1 or go bust.
I also don’t think that Kirby will keep stalling.
he will counter with a proposal that is “good enough” - basically another extension with slightly improved but still subpar work rules and new competitive rates - but far from industry leading and we will take it.
