I'm pretty sure "someone" on here accused Mr. Munoz of "faking a heart attack".

Man, he's really taking this charade to the extreme!!!! :roll eyes:

Munoz is really working hard on this charade! Consider the rant below before you consider Staller a creditable source.

It is just a flesh wound...

Same person who's trying to claim that the CS100 pay rates are 'B Scale'. Any self-proclaimed unionist such as him should know the exact definition of B Scale. Unfortunately, there's probably more than a few senior pilots who are trying to BS the rest of us that the CS100 pay rates are 'B Scale'. They aren't. It's just another dishonest tactic by a faction of pilots that put partisan union politics above all else.

Here's the WSJ article:

United CEO Oscar Munoz Receives Heart Transplant
Airline says transplant was considered ‘preferred treatment’ and wasn’t the result of a setback in recovery

CHICAGO—Oscar Munoz, United Continental Holdings Inc.’s chief executive, underwent a heart-transplant operation early Wednesday and is in recovery, the company said, the latest twist in months of leadership upheaval that has roiled the giant carrier.

Mr. Munoz, who turned 57 this month, suffered a heart attack in October and has been on medical leave. United said in a statement late Wednesday that the transplant was considered the “preferred treatment” and wasn’t the result of a setback in his recovery. The airline declined to say where the surgery was performed, but said it would provide additional information within 24 hours.

United earlier had said it expected Mr. Munoz to return to his duties sometime in the current quarter, but the company said Wednesday that date may slip to the beginning of the second quarter. Brett Hart, formerly United’s general counsel, has been acting CEO since shortly after Mr. Munoz became ill.

Mr. Munoz’s illness has shaken a company that was already under stress. The company had been plagued by poor labor relations and operational glitches since it was formed in a 2010 merger.

Mr. Munoz, a former railroad executive and long-time United board member, ascended to the CEO position after his predecessor was ousted in September, and had served for just six weeks before he suffered the heart attack.


Mr. Munoz by that time already had outlined a new strategy for the nation’s second-largest airline by traffic, one designed to improve employee morale, customer service and punctuality. His absence has created worry among workers who immediately took to Mr. Munoz and has forced the management team to juggle roles and improvise to stick to his vision.

Mr. Munoz visited United’s operations center in its downtown Chicago headquarters on Thanksgiving Day, and people who saw him thought he looked well. It was his first and only public appearance since the October heart attack.

It is rare for a sitting corporate executive to undergo an organ transplant. John C. Bogle, founder of Vanguard Group, underwent a successful heart transplant in February 1996. The prior month, Mr. Bogle, who was born with a heart condition, had stepped down from the CEO job at the investment management company but remained chairman.

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc., underwent a liver transplant in 2009 during a medical leave for a condition the company hadn’t unexplained. Several months after he returned to work in June of that year, Mr. Jobs appeared in public for the first time. He said he had received the liver of a young adult who died following a car accident, and urged others to become organ donors. Mr. Jobs died in 2011 after battling pancreatic cancer.

According to the not-for-profit United Network for Organ Sharing, there are currently more than 4,100 candidates on a national waiting list for hearts for transplant surgeries. The list for all candidates waiting for kidneys, livers, lungs, hearts and other organs is nearly 122,000 people.

Once a person is accepted by a transplant hospital and goes on the waiting list for an organ, the wait time can range from a day to many years, the organ-sharing network said. A match between a donor and the recipient depends on blood type, the degree of immune-system match, genetic make-up, the medical urgency of the recipient and his or her time waiting, Unos said.

The network, which coordinates organ donations to people needing transplants, reported on its website that there were more than 2,300 heart transplants performed in the U.S. from January through October 2015, and 2,655 in 2014. The largest number of recipients were between 50 and 64 years of age.

Mr. Munoz, who was president of railroad operator CSX Corp. before he became United’s CEO, said in an interview shortly after he arrived at United that he enjoys bike riding, playing golf and tennis and surfing. He and his family live in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., near CSX headquarters in Jacksonville.

I'm going to take credit for that post. It begs to ask how the Monuz people found a replacement heart so quick. Hopefully, some poor sole in a third world country wasn't sacrificed.

Look the guy sat on the BOD for several years rubber stamping everything Jeff did and we should feel some sadness or remorse for his conditions. Don't feel it but it doesn't fit the shill narrative you spew. A United Pilot passed away recently after a long illiness - are you going to extend his family the same condolences and support you extend to OM. His family really needs your support -

If OM knew his condition was this bad he should have stepped aside. Was his decision ego driven or is he allowing himself to be used to gain favor from a scared employee group. Still not buying into it.

Don't be rediculous. Transplant lists are based on need, not seniority.

A little TIC but then I could have added a little smiley face for some.
