I doubt they have any organized plan to accomplish anything. The agent i spoke with made it sound like everyone was just generally ****ed off and unmotivated. Same goes for the outstation i commute from....who are being displaced...

Probably downsized or fired right?
I remember when EWR laid off a bunch of rampers around Christmas when the new baggage system went into place. Talk about nuts.
Anyway, if our company managers want people who give a crap, then they should hire people who do give a crap, and have a reason to give a crap.
IN Baton Rouge, the United Express workers are all hired from American Eagle. Who's flight do you think gets worked if they are both on the ground on the same time?
I hope we have some United Management on this forum taking notes.
NOTE to self: If I want this company to succeed, outsourcing time sensitive, al-be-it lowly manual labor positions is not a good idea. Out-sourcing leads to failure, failure leads to hate, and hate leads to the dark side. I think Yoda had this one nailed.

That should work out well.

Not to detract from the point, which is very valid, but I can't imagine that United has "hundreds" of employees at JAX.

Sounds similar to what every other airline is doing. Delta has done it all over the place...some places twice!, spirit did it, frontier just cut 1000+ in denver and did the same offer to come back to the contract company for less pay and benefits.

Our JAX station has CS agents that have been there for years and even get profit sharing.
If your trying to build a brand, you need to have employees invested in that brand's success.

I don't know. I could only find where Delta has cut at DTW, MSP, and MEM as they combined hubs and actually had too many people with NWA merger. In the articles dating back to 2012 for Delta, the people were offered jobs at other stations but not contracted out at the hubs.

I believe Alaska went through some similar times a few years back. They started outsourcing and of course there we're definitely growing pains. Horizon took it on the chin as well iirc. Any Alaska folks care to comment?
