You really don’t want that to happen. You may think it will spur management to complete the contract but the reality is they will view work rules as the issue. Giving away more in work rules won’t be viewed as a solution. Delta is planning a full court press for NYC area business accounts and a meltdown will play right into their hands. Wishing for the failure of the company you work for is never a recipe for long term success.

Seems like success doesn’t get us much either, considering we were first to bail out the company during covid, gave them an unbelievable head start for the recovery, and we were rewarded with it by getting a contract dead last at earliest and a unilateral violation of our covid LOA.

I’d rather be in a carbon fiber submarine exploring the Titanic than having a repeat of the last few days. Just an awful experience for everyone.

Excellent usage. It’s never too soon. Style points too.

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?
