Que, the resident UAL hater. Please explain to us UAL guys what makes LAS a disaster? Inquiring minds want to know.

you really should’ve limited the amount of koolaid your consumed while at SKW

LOL so much kool-aid I was out of the regional game and left for Spirit at the first bite. How about you? You stuck around at a United Express regional for a long time didn’t you? Talk about drinking the freakin kool-aid buddy haha! Seriously What. A. Joke.

It was explained a few posts below my post of why LAS has been a disaster.

This is probably accurate. Forced upgrades was a big get for the company & the record volume of unfilled CA vacancies since contract ratification suggest they are done enticing pilots to upgrade. Inefficient outstation bases don’t make much sense in a landscape where any staffing needs can be satisfied through forced new hire assignments.
