Just a little info for all those ready to take more pay cuts.
United…First Quarter 2005, all numbers i.e. gallons of fuel consumed are for the first quarter only.
They could have made a few million dollars if every United employee (all 56 million) would just work for free!
Since that didn’t happen the continued losses will be blamed on pilot salaries and astronomical fuel cost.
They will fail to mention that if that expensive gas (550 million gallons @ $1.46 per gallon) were FREE they still would have reported a loss in the $300,000,000.00 (that’s three hundred million dollars, lots of zeros).
The point is…don’t drink the Kool-Aid. The info is out there.
Those 50 seat-ers add a whole lot of expense without a whole lot of revenue in return, they just have too many. They raise the United seat mile cost 4-5 cents. Tell management to take care of that before they ask you to pay them to fly there airplanes. Add mainline flights - decrease 50 seat flights!
