You and I know this and many other excruciating details. Investors could care less. They open the paper and see SWA has already solved their "pilot issue" whereas UAL has pics in paper of pilots plastering management doors with "NO" on the contract proposal. "Hey Jeff, what's up with that?"

"This baseless and malicious rumor is completely false."

Julie King
Corporate Communications
United Airlines

Does make you wonder how much many of the forums out there she or her underlings read on a daily basis. I guess we possibly will know tomorrow. I can't imagine that something this big would go by the wayside and this little peep is all anyone hears, especially since this has the ability to impact the company, it stock, and it's employees. If he leaves, who will step in? GT? :eek:
