United walks back new bonus lottery system that angered employees
United Airlines on Monday reversed plans to begin awarding bonuses through a lottery system that angered employees.
Scott Kirby, president of the Chicago-based airline, said United was “pressing the pause button” on changes that would have handed out larger bonuses to only a fraction of its workers after hearing employees’ feedback since announcing the changes late last week.

Scott Kirby the NEW Smeisk. I suspect that Oscar is counting his days to retirement with Kirby being the replacement. This is not a good outlook for United - just when you think they turned the corner. I see more dark roads ahead for the UA employees and pax.
