I really hate this thread. Scott Kirby is trying to save his airline right now.

This thread is completely tone deaf. The collective futures of the big 4 hinge on govt. assistance.

Kut. Kut. Chop. Chop.

Oh, it is painful to kut.

Can't wait for the next kut.

But this is United under Kirby. We who are on this thread because we await and fully expect the next set of Kirby Kutbacks.

And, this thread is about those kuts - you can bet on it.

There's a reason why this thread exists. Is UA in peril? Yes, every airline is. But that doesn't excuse that we know how Kirby will react to this situation to his benefit if UA comes out on the other side. If there are two people this forum loves to loathe it's Smisek (turns out he really was crooked) and Kirby.

I am sure we can think of more things to cut.

I think the old USAir Cockroaches might make a reappearance if that were to happen...



I second the motion ! ;)

Didn't USAir charge $2 for a glass of water, not a bottle?
