Yes, it's that awful union's fault that UA voluntarily signed a binding business contract and might be held accountable to fulfilling it.
Look, capitalism fails if legally-enforceable contracts are not honored. Do we really want to go down that road? As I said, the captain was well within his right to call UA out on the failure, even if he did it in a dramatic, illogical, and passenger-unfriendly way. I'm sure this incident has already led to wagon-circling with LSG SkyChefs to gain assurances that it won't happen again. And once catering changes to Chelsea, UA would have no one to blame but themselves.
