Mind you, we are talking about a $15.00 burger/fries and soft drink here. And not that I expected anything different, he blurted out "separate checks" before the server even finished the question.

DELTAs T/A passed, so both they and UAL get raises while we make basically half of what they do.
Thats ok though, we have the ability to work ourselves to death and even down to 6 days off for 112hrs of Credit.
When are we going to learn?
Enjoy this Industry trailing contract for at least another 12-18 months (and that's optimistic).

Thread done. Start a new one.
If you want to talk about the airline, fine.
Keep beating up on one person? You'll all get infracted. I don't care if it's true or not. Geezus, show some decency.
