Default New Flight Ops Leadership Announced

Flight Operations Leadership Announcement



To the United Flight Operations Team,



I am pleased to announce the following appointments to

leadership positions in the new United Flight Operations

organization:



Managing Director-Flight Operations: Captain Jim Starley

Managing Director-Training: Captain Keith Rimer

Managing Director-Flight Standards: Captain Dave Lynn

Managing Director-Technical and Flight Test: Captain Joe Burns

Managing Director-Crew Resources: Captain Chip Benton

System Chief Pilot CAL: Captain Steve Arnold

System Chief Pilot UAL: Captain Curt Hughes



It is important to note that we will have a separate System

Chief Pilot for each airline until we achieve a Single

Operating Certificate/Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement or

a future time to be determined. Additionally, we still need to

fill the Managing Director-Flight Operations Contract

Administration position, and that person will be named at a

later date.

I am gratified to know we have such a deep talent pool from

which to select our leadership team, but that made the

selection process that much more difficult and time consuming.

Thank you for your patience during this process, and I hope

you’ll join me in congratulating our new Flight Operations

leaders.



The talent selection process is continuing, and our new

leaders are in the process of completing the job postings

needed to build their teams. I encourage all qualified

candidates to review those postings on the Talent Selection

portal and apply for any positions of interest.



--Fred Abbott

The only talent any of these Robert Cranium's have is the ability to shove their nose ultra deep into managements bung hole.

We all should be thankful that Steve Arnold was chosen for his position! CLE has always been known to have good people in the office there. Coincidental that the CALALPA chief pilot office surveys have always rated that office better than the other three by miles? No CAL pilot can honestly tell me that they think one of the other three would be better for that position.

Do you think Arnold got the job because of his high ratings and general respect from the pilot group? That would be 180 degree change from Freddo's usual managerial touch. Still skeptical of all these guys given that it was all about impress Fred to get the job. Arnold might be worth the benefit of the doubt, but we shall see. BTW, I see that Fred went with Starley to run Flight Ops for World's biggest airline! Unsurprising but truly sad.

I vehemently disagree. He will lie to your face and then deny it. Don't be fooled, he is NOT your buddy.
