Really sucks for the 2000 and 2001 hires that have to go through this yet again.

Man... things sure did go to hell in a handbasket in the airline industry fast! My thoughts are with all of them, watch out HH may be back in your right seat soon... oh wait, we're not hiring, pheew!

Dang, I know quite a few that went over there. I feel bad for them and everyone that will be or has been furloughed. Crazyeyes is right, things went downhill very fast.

FlyingFish has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Unhappy

I hope someone buys United before they liquidate themselves. They are in self destruct mode. They are bleeding cash to fast to stay aloft. They need to oust Tilton. He hasn't done anything good for United since he has been there.

Especially sucks for those that got the recall during upgrade class at Express.

It is going to be a shi++y fall for unemployment at the airlines.

US scare is next!
