Exactly. And let's face it, Jeff only got caught because of ties to a short portlier scumbag who is currently the sitting governor of New Jersey.

Your happiness will be tempered when you read about his golden parachute.

It is criminal in itself... especially for someone fired.

I think that is where the obvious improvement needs to begin. If we don't have a good operation, we can't have a good airline. Richard Anderson is very operationally minded. He allows the beancounters to have their say, but he doesn't let them drive the boat. We need the same type of person to head our airline and set the example. Mr. Munoz also seems a bit more hands on, rather than watching the operation from the 48th floor at the Willis Tower.

Poor Jeff - look at the great job he did with this merger. What do YOU think, we should start a FOX style campaign to put all the blame on CC. Personally, I say burn Jeff at the stake. He's harmed many United employees and the fallout of Jeff's actions will continue to harm the airline and it's employees.

Hopefully, Munoz will take hold of the situation and fry JS and his offending underlings to the point that the Justice Department takes him to task and puts him in jail.

I am not defending Jeff's management blunders by any means. However, look at how incredibly expensive Newark is to operate out of. Perhaps he decided to take a calculated risk to try and do what he could for the benefit of UAL. Obviously he didn't count on the entire Port Authority swamp being drained. The figures in this article are absolutely outrageous. What a classic NY / NJ ripoff. To outgun ORD by such a wide margin is astonishing.

Also look long and hard at the ATL figures for our DAL pals:

Said another way:

He's listed as the "financial expert" on the UCH board Executive and Finance committees. Munoz has had a front row seat on the board and took an active role as a director in:

UCH stock buybacks
Executive bonuses

When you see front line employees without the assets to perform their jobs, remember that Munoz was a key board member that chose to "return equity to shareholders" at the risk of hobbling the operation.

No doubt that a board member's job is to encourage management to squeeze every last dime from gross revenue and return it to shareholders. Just don't tell me that this guy is riding in on a Unicorn and farting rainbows.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

In the next 90 days, you'll see him around the system glad handing everyone within reach. There's going to be enough Kool Aid for everyone and you'll hear guys humming Kumbayya on layovers. In a year, you'll look back and realize that nothing has changed.

I hope everyone can reply here in a year and tell me how full of it I am, really!
