I totally understand why you would want to post this, but be careful. I'm sure management is lurking on here and they will easily figure out who you are.

Just looking out! ;)

I hear that after they finish their day at the office, management likes to troll the forums to see if we like them. Cause, you know, they care.

People have been fired at multiple airlines for things said on public forums like this one. And yes, United Airlines has people who's job is to search out negative social media content.

I don't care if they come visit me. They have bigger issues to worry about. Get some skin, bro.

You......might want to care....sarcasm aside. There is a famous case in SFO. A 757 Capt, (not me) after having a few in KOA, wrote a letter to the then CEO, Glenn. Management came after him and claimed mental instability. Grounded immediately and had to jump through hoops for months to get his pay check back.

If they want to come after you, they will find stuff. Myself, I had a management stooge, TK type, displace and fly with me. Not a pleasant experience. He basically argued every decision and glared at me from SFO all the way to JFK. It wasn't hard to figure this guy out. That was around 2010, during the contract talks.

So, Ya'll be careful out there! ;)

Oscar has spent a lot of time and money to make UA a place with positive employee morale. If management is lurking then they ought to recognize that somebody is undermining that effort. Customer Service 101: A customer complaint is positive feedback. When the customer stops complaining, you've lost the customer.

If they decide to come after one of us for something like this, then all that effort and cash Oscar spent was a complete waste and they may as well have left Jeff in charge.

Did none of you pay attention to the social media training? People all over America have been fired for saying stuff negative about their employers online. Believe it or not, I will say it again, there is a team of people who use software to scour the Internet and maintain the reputation of our company. Most large companies have this. If you post, "I was working flight XYZ today and let me tell u (insert employer) is a piece of crap. No wonder we're losing money and CEO is a moron" they WILL see that.

Not sure how this makes me thin skinned, I'll most likely move up a number when someone gets fired. PS doesn't the ALPAS code of ethics talk about demeaning your employer?

I would love for them to come up to the flightdeck......."No Bucks...No Buck Rogers"......or better yet "Show Me The Money!" 😂
