Not sure where they get them - but if true, that's a massive disconnect for the new CEO to work out. I'm of the mind that too many cooks in the kitchen cause trouble, especially when they're in headquarters management of a distributed global operation.
Even total employee counts...
Total United employees: 85k
Total Delta employees: 77k
And guess who carries more passengers...
