UAL/CAL pilot talks hit snag, article

it's a bit insane that management views outsourcing as such a valuable tool. Where's the empirical evidence that it's worked at all as a business strategy? Executives are the only people making any money. But you'd think the shareholders would question the customer service end of it.

The new united can fly all the 70 seaters it wants- just do it with mainline pilots.

Do you pilots at United really want to get involved in this sort of culture?

They probably don't, but I certainly hope they do.

The CAL "culture" needs to be buried.

Morale at UAL must have improved judging from their claim of "best on time" airline. Guess the thought is that the UA pilots are beaten down enough and would finally lower the draw bridge. Just my opinion!

Any airline can be number 1 in on time. All you do is increase the block times on every flight segment and there you have it. This is how UAL achieved number one in on time, not because the pilots are all of a sudden motivated.
