As I said, on their own, none of the 10 things would have ever bothered me, but the combination of all of them was frustrating.

+1, I learned something new two weeks ago about the ATC reason - don't know if it's 100% true but I'll believe it.

What happens is if for some reason a plane goes MX or crew, etc., the delay is initially registered as MX, crew, etc, but then they try to schedule a new time for departure, and ATC may inform that the new time will not work and delays perhaps 5 minutes after the suggested time, so the new delay reason gets updated to ATC, even though it was MX that caused it to become ATC.

United recently cut back to cut one FA position on the 777. It is systemwide change for the 777 to save money. I actually think we are in the equivalent of a slowdown now. Operations have completely fallen apart this month, and I wouldn't look too far beyond the employees thanking Jeff for his recent comments.

As long as they have 1 flight attendant for a single seat and an additional flight attendant for each additional 50 seats (1-50 seat plane:1 flight attendant, 51-100:2 flight attendants, 101-150: 3 flight attendants...)

Of the employees I've spoken with, very few "hate the CEO's guts" but all feel something needs to change. But I speak primarily with mechanics and the occasional pilot, not FA & GAs, in my business. Actually, I'm sure I probably know quite a few UA FA & GAs, but they're unlikely to let it be known who they work for. :o
