I disagree with your options that UA employees are either "stupid" or masochistic.

Yes, in theory employees are free to go where they can get the best job and pay. Employers are free to hire those who provide the best value for the pay. Nice theory. But in reality, there are always switching costs. Many UA employees have dedicated their careers to UA. It is not so easy to switch careers when you are 40 or 50. Emotionally and financially, long term UA employees are somewhat stuck. So the 'love it our leave it' theory of employment needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
