A UAL friend sent me a copy of this letter.
May 12, 2005
You have made it painfully clear how unimportant ALL United's employees
are to you at the top management level. After enduring your antics for the
past several years, I shouldn't be surprised by your pathetic and disgusting
behavior. However, I had hoped maybe you might find some decency in
yourselves by now.
You are nothing less than thieving, lying, marauding corporate Pirates,
pretending to be astute businessmen dressed in suits. You hang around for a
few years, destroy our futures, degrade and abuse all who work for the good
of the company, collect your bonuses and disappear with your golden
parachutes. What is amazing is the fact YOU are never accountable nor is it
ever YOUR fault when your own decisions are disastrous.
The Pilot group which has given you all they hold dear is rapidly becoming
aware of the deception and utter lack of integrity from UAL management! I am
disappointed in our weak ALPA leadership and how you have exploited our lack
of strength and unity to fight for our very existence. However, this apathy
on our part may change in light of your most recent abhorrent behavior.
Many of us are ready for war!
I doubt you have a clue just how distressed most of us are. Pilots have
spent years training and educating themselves for what has become an
inconsequential temporary JOB that is not worth the stress and hardship on
ourselves and families! Many are now actively seeking to escape UAL or even
the airline industry all together from what was formerly a respected career.
The presumption there is little you can do to get back on track is absurd.
You have bankrupt UAL, stolen our stock, destroyed our pensions, reduced
our salaries to ridiculous levels, degraded and abused us all, and yet you are
not accountable!?!? I suspect all of this has been a grand plan, but many
of my peers just think you're idiots! The truth is most likely a mix of these
reasons amongst you.
There are just no words to describe the disgust and contempt I hold for all
of you. I will forever be unwilling to trust or even listen to the drivel
you unscrupulous nitwits infect this company with! Ironic you keep your
pensions while you continue to slash and burn your most important asset;
All the people who once made United great!
Sincerely,

______________________________________________________
The letter I sent to you please forward to ALL. I still have a job SO FAR,
but I was removed from flight status and sent home while in London UK as per
LAX flight manager, Joe Noval. He and I don't like each other and have had
problems in the past. I'm told a flight was cancelled because of this mess,
but I can't confirm it. My ALPA rep is handling it now and it looks like a
psyche evaluation is coming this week. More will probably happen Monday
when all the suits get back into the office. I will update as things unfold.
I am in the middle of this sh!t storm, but you can help by informing your
contacts. If they fire me, I will try to go to the media as this pension crap
is being watched closely.
Thank you for your support

A friend suggested I might be too traumatized and embarrassed by what
the flight office has done to me. I might need to take the summer off. Also,
if you guys are willing, get as many as possible to copy my letter, sign your
own names to it and all send them in while on a trip and they will have to
pull everyone off at the same time. We'll see what happens tomorrow first.
