If I remember correctly weren't those reserve numbers made up arbitrarily by the company. It could have been min/1000 per day. I always thought it was BS to need 60 reserves on a Tuesday.

So your really not missing anything other than numbers and a false sense of hope.

But like wise oldmako says. Dangle that dollar and watch them line up..

I've heard that screen is still available to flight attendants.

For the lCAL types, welcome to United. The company you now work for hates you, and will do everything they can to make you unhappy.

I hope the lCAL employee/company relations win in the end, but I am not hopeful.

Not happening, that concept left the building in Brenneman's briefcase.

Unfortunately, I agree.

It was about the day he left wasn't it? Gordo's new phrase became " I let my manager's manage" so he could keep walking around like a rock star.

Bethune was smart enough to hire GOOD managers so he could say that and not worry about it, Smisek wouldn't know a good manager if one fell on his head- mainly because he sucks at it himself.

Larry wasn't that bad, the big change came after he left

Would really like to know why Bethene praises Jeff to this day...

Yeah, it was all in the name of the IAH cafeteria....

Gordon's Galley - tasty and reasonable

Larry's Concessions - my @ss hurt each time I ate there, but the briquet rocked

Trader Jeff's - mugged and rolled getting out of the elevator and end up in a Tijuana brothel afterwards with no recollection of how I got there. And my @ss still hurts.
