Cute but I disagree that this has anything to do with this pilot group. This is 100% an ATC melt down and UAL’s inability to deal with it. United is completely overwhelmed. Heck they can barely run the place when things are going good.
Have tried to call the crew desk or the hotel desk?

This is all a ripple effect from day 1. How many other airlines have an operation in NY close to the size of our EWR op?

Yesterday, UAL cancelled 191 flights out of EWR alone and DAL only canceled 27 total from JFK and LGA. That's a 700 % greater cnx rate on about 18% greater volume. If we were talking small numbers it might be that egregious of a disparity due to small sample size, unfortunately 191 cnx out of EWR is significant.
So, it might have more to to with something other than sheer numbers as I take your post to allude to as the biggest reason.
edit ....Sailing beat me to it sort of

A handful of posters here need to stop insinuating that this has anything to do with the pilot group and/or the contract struggle. This meltdown has nothing to do with pilots or the contract.
If anyone wants to spitefully celebrate how the company we work for is royally screwing hundreds of thousands of pax perhaps that could be done in private.

Ewr is relying on commuters and other bases to staff most of its flying which has never worked well in severe wx. That along with pilots, flight attendants, and planes that swap every flight ieads to a nightmare to put back together. Ewr also has a lot of apathy towards its customers from iPad ordering in the terminal, filthy chairs, and a staff above and below the wing that is a number that isn't human. If only we would shuck and jive at the podium more to distract from those inadequacies.
