This is really pathetic. PHL-ORD-PHL yesterday/today - one segement did not have ch9, the other the volume was so low I could barely hear anything (although this could just be a issue with the equipment).
Another reason to love the unions ...

She smiled and shook her head and said UA pilots know that Ch9 is unique to UA and many customers love it. According to her, pilots are starting to leave it off more and more as they feel this is one way for them to "get back at management".
To me, this is an absolute pathetic attitude. I understand employees have gotten the raw end of the deal here, but don't take it out on the customers!
