Any truth to the union letter mentioned at the end of this article?

Everything we received on our end is true in this. The conspiracy theorist in me seems to think United spent ad dollars on this article to save on concessions.

I’m going with the union itself or a member “leaked” it to Reuters

Do the WARN letters that were sent out have a shelf life? Only good for a certain amount of days before new ones would have to be sent out.

Department of labor website:
”EXTENSION OF NOTICE
Additional notice is required when the date or schedule of dates of a planned plant closing or mass layoff is extended beyond the date or the ending date of any 14-day period announced in the original notice as follows:
• If the employment action is postponed for less than 60 days, additional notice should be given as soon as possible and should include refer- ence to the earlier notice, the new action date, and the reason for the postponement. The notice need not be formal but should be given in a manner that will provide the information to all affected employees; or
• If the postponement is for 60 days or more, a new notice is required. Routine periodic notice, given whether or not a plant closing or mass layoff is impending and with the intent to evade specific notice as required by WARN, is not acceptable.”

Sure, innocent "good ole' boy" pilot you. "NBC" lol, why don't you just post something from the Huff Post or Reddit while you are at it.

It’s a wonder of nature you can even read at all.

Probably more like it was plastered right here on APC. Journos troll these places for juicy info and the insode scoop. Once they have it all they need to do is fill in the blanks.

The article read like a conglomeration of this thread.....

So you think that being more established is the golden ticket? Expressjet has more overheads and a much more expensive workforce. It's much easier to grow a cheap operator than shrink a large expensive one.

I didn't bring up the Unibomber, somebody else did. I brought up GWB. My point is that you brought up the education of the writer of the NBC piece like it somehow made it less bias. The ironic thing is that the education institution your brought up is perhaps the most liberal educational institution in the world.,

Do you see how stupid this line of thinking is? Viewing all alumni of higher education institutions with suspicion because of one guy is as dumb as being skeptical of all veterans because of one guy.

The cult of ignorance and contempt you guys have for academics is unreal

Thanks for unknowingly proving his point. He sarcastically made that absurd statement in response to somebody else non-sarcastically making an absurd statement

You probably didn’t pay much attention to what happened to UAX carriers during the bankruptcy.

United hasn’t ever really g(n)as about who’s established being a key to survival.
