Given that management was supportive of overturning the mandate, I'm not surprised this is the company position.
That said, given some of the asks of the AFA earlier in the year around in flight service, I am a little surprised they came to this conclusion this quickly. UA is keeping them for the time being, pending the outcome in the courts.

Well, it didn't take long for things to get punchy. A few off-topic, non-contributive and deliberately disruptive posts have been deleted. Posts here should somehow relate to AS and avoid mask politics. I'm sure that there already are threads on OMNI where rants would be welcome. Thanks.
