Whether or not you take the extension to prevent the next domino from falling certainly does have something to do with you and the rest of the UAL pilot group.
Also, whether or not you insert an apostrophe in the word heroes while attempting to insult someone's intelligence has something to do with you.

As a point of honorable mention you have officially achieved the rank of Kommandant/Grammar Nazi. Congratulations!
Apostrophe or not these idiots need to stop and insinuating that this pilot group is responsible for the recent melt down.

This will likely accelerate the shift to significantly increase ops at MCO (and maybe TPA). There's no reason to continue to rely on a base that is so predictably substandard in both the Summer and Winter months. You still get a strong East Coast hub (in addition to IAD), weather (especially winter weather) is very comparable to ATL and MIA, and you don't have to deal with the deteriorating political situation in the NY/NJ corridor (which, by the way, is why fewer and fewer pilots/ATCers want to live there).
UAL has been at a huge disadvantage in not having a southeastern hub between IAD and IAH. Now they will.
EWR seems primed to expand the number of slots for UAL (https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/new...ys/ar-AA1djiUk), but I would be surprised if the damage hasn't been done and you don't see a massive shift to MCO starting 12-24 months from now.

I am only singling out your post to highlight this not to say you don’t know this.
