Haha... We're past the meltdown phase at XJT. Many of us come to work half expecting to find the lights turned out anyway. Congrats to the AWAC folks, at least it's good to see the flying awarded to a decent company that finally deserved some good news.

Short version: blunt, direct, says we can't shrink to profitability, or be a "docile competitor." Lots of new mainline flying.

I'm astounded by the candor.
He's the number one proponent of loosening scope come contract time. Kirby is not on any united pilots side.

Exactly. His argument is more RJs means more mainline jobs. Just look what he tried to do with 81 seat scope in the US/AA JCBA.

Our job is to get passengers from Pt A to Pt B safely... Management's job to squeeze every dime out of passengers and employees and drive the stock price up... its what we do. Friendly management is a pipe dream.

Wow, none out of IAH?

Was really hoping for some in the Gulf Coast area...

The formatting is a little choppy, but the letter is posted in one of the RJ forums, and they're all listed. I think it was additional flying everywhere but LAX.

Pretty close to the bottom of the letter.

Let's go!
Scott
p.s. I'm sorry for the really long note, but I'm just so excited about the future here at United that I couldn't help myself.
The message itself had a lot of interesting info. However, am I the only one who thought this last bit came off as unprofessional?
