SK Safety Letter to Customers
Maybe if they hadn't hired a CNN journalist as the head of safety we wouldn't be in this situation. Of course why have someone with an operational background leading safety? Anyway, apparently went out to all MileagePlus of a certain level and higher.

Sorry, a background in media and press with no operational background at all does not qualify you to lead safety at one of the world's largest airlines.

Maybe if you were at this airline, you'd know that you were attempting to reference Josh Earnest, the Chief Communications Officer, who would appear to be qualified for that position after time as the White House Press Secretary and NBC correspondent. But please keep explaining our safety culture to us.

This is the same airline the has recently hired hundreds of pilots with ZERO 121 PIC, no college degree, and maybe 2,000 hours total, 500 of which were at Frontier having their hand held flying an airbus. Safety has never been SK’s priority. That would be his stock bonus from DEI which I’m sure is now in jeopardy. SK is just trying to put lipstick on a pig.
Just wait until those low time inexperienced pilots get into the left seat at United. Everyone saw this coming, I’m surprised it’s happening this fast, but it was easily predictable.
