The sad part isn't the article. I mean everyone knows United has gone from marginal to worst in the last two years because of a failure in leadership and the results of this "leadership" are the siblings stabbing each other in the backs to arrive at the liquidation first on the list. To get a reality check on this thoigh, go ahead and scroll down and look at some of the comments from United (previous) customers. It makes the article look like a fan boy worship piece on United compared to what the customers think. If you think, "who cares what these random customers think" ~ then maybe ask yourself why Southwest is now larger than United is - United and the former Continental combined - in the domestic marketplace. It's because the customers used to think and speak completely opposite of what is written in those comments about United. People and their experience with the product do matter, and the ability to retire from United or Wal-Mart of will reflect that little detail.

This is the reality here, boys and babies. You can try to wring each others' necks and step all over those who you might think you can for a quick guppy upgrade but all you do is cement the hate, discontent and failure in your future. Good going. Real leadership. Real futures. Right on! Keep on slurring at each other, it is clearly helping you guys out.

Having a great day.

Life is good.

Just stating the facts.

It's not going to get any better over the next few days - may I suggest - NO DRUGS - drink heavy and call your mc and ask WHY!!! He's probably still scratching his head trying to figure that one out and a call to your LEC reps may be more fruitful - Good Luck

I'm sure some of you disagree, but I really hope a true global free market prevails and Asian Carriers will be given free unrestricted access to all flying in the USA.

Not going to worry about it Staller.

I have a life outside of flying and this board.

Whatever happens on the SLI, I will be just fine.

Not sure you will EVER be able to let go.

I say "Good Luck" to you, I think you may need it more.

I'm confident you are sincere in this belief. Wadr, how do you think we can make this the best or worst airline overriding the action of management? Aside from showing up for work, flying safe, and treating people like human beings, what else do you sincerely think we can do?

As long as the airlines in competition are not govt owned I would take that bet. Without that - it is a rigged game.

I really hope I don't see your wish come true in my lifetime.
