Last quarter United had a profit of $1.1Billion with a B! United doesn't care about the QOL of their regional feed, they don't care if their feed has to cancel a MAF, TUL overnights at 21:00 due to no crew. This all has been happening for a long time now and still posted $1.1B in 1 quarter! Customers will continue to swipe those credit cards to fly Ual and as long as they continue to keep doing so and profiting $1.1B a quarter then nothing will change, especially at the regional level. That is just reality. To sit around and say "a flow has to be coming" or "they have to do something to staff this place" is just being naive. Your goal should be to get to a better place, which may be a Legacy, LCC's or wherever is best for you and your family.
Sorry to be a dose of reality, but it needs to be heard!
Delta made $1.4 Billion dollars last quarter. What exactly is your point? They don't have a flow either. How much more difficult is it to hire quality applicants and have a program that moves roughly 50% of their workforce to the mainline? It doesn't cost much of anything extra and guarantees you a better product and consistent workforce. Originally Posted by FlyingMaryJane

United can only play this game of acquiring feed for so long. Compass/Go-Jets are the last ones to be parted out and assimilated into the screwed up regional feed network known as United Express.
Of course everyone should be looking for a place to call home that isn't a regional carrier in this dog-eat-dog industry. Nobody is saying otherwise. It's up to United if they want to cancel flights and hurt their own bottom line.
Are you saying that nobody should post the realities of this place? You got yours and work for United correct?
