WTF! This company keeps talking about trying to improve morale and the attitude of its employees. Don't they realize this does the opposite. Canceling the 737 order and not replacing it with anything is causing most of these unnecessary displacements. In Kirby we trust my ass! Get him out of here. This displacement doesn't affect me now, but it will tomorrow. . Maybe we as pilots at United are doing to good a job at moving aircraft. Maybe we should start acting like our management and dragging our feet too. . .

Kirby inherited this mess from the Obama days. He's just fixing it to make UAL great again.

Easy buddy.......IAH is getting hit because all the 787 pilots are staying in base. Had IAH not gotten the 787, which it never should have, these displacements would not be happening. Blame that crook Smizek and all of his yes men.

Take a look at all the growth in SFO on the 737 almost 1000 IDs for July. IAH was a massive base for a 3 base airline now it is a middle sized base at a 7 base airline (not including GUM).

IAH is like DEN nobody wants to leave so the company has no choice but to make them leave.

It kind of has to be.......since it will be the last 747/IAH 787 one.

Pistons is right so I edited....there will be one last clean up displacement in AUG.

KirbyTrain! MUGA. I see a lot of similarities. Talk a big game and never deliver.

BTW, I heard Kirby said we're gonna get the C series and Skywest will pay for them!!
