Background Requested: Howard Attarian
As a UAL guy, I'm interested in any (printable) opinions on Howard Attarian, United's VP of Flight Ops.
I know he spent 23 years at NWA, and a brief stint at DAL....now at UAL, and magically an instant "Captain." His glowing bio in United's In-Flight magazine says he flew Eagles and was a Thunderbird.
I have heard vague references that suggests he is very disliked. I would like to know more, and/or why. I personally don't know the man, and have no opinion at this time.
My motivation: to gain insight as to where we are going.

I have more faith in him than some of our previous leaders.

He was involved with ALPA and Duane Woerth almost from the beginning at NW. He was a little junior to me and pretty much a seagull. Went to Washington with Duane. Spent his last years at NW on ALPA and sick leave.
I was never impressed by him....

Kolshak is Attarian's boss. Interesting pairing by Tilton...also really interesting that Attarian tries to take the title "Captain" while he's disabled.
The sad part for UAL is they're getting the Delta managers that helped drive DAL toward terrible labor relations and bankruptcy (Kolshak, Quiello, Milone). DAL got the CAL managers that helped keep CAL out of bankruptcy (Campbell, Hauenstein, Cortelyou).
