The kirby ballwashers over In the united cult board are already trying to spin this but it's pretty clear to anyone not in the kirby kult that this will end badly for them.
I get the banter between difference pilot groups, but objectively speaking, it’s not “petty games.” If gate allocation is based off utilization and your competitor dumps a bunch of flights into ORD, the normal response is to dump a bunch of flights too.
Kirby told the company in a townhall that he would’ve rather not have gotten into ****ing match in ORD, but AA shoved a bunch of flights into Chicago so he was forced to respond (paraphrasing, of course).
We’ll see how this plays out for our respective carriers
