I think the last thing they'd want is an FT'er in there. I think I'll get hired if I put in my cover letter that I want to increase upgrade co-pays, introduce award travel co-pays, increase starnet blocking, and quadruple mileage redemption levels.

They'll probably start the new hire with calculating and posting all the 2X/3X EQMs. By hand.

I assume that when UA says "significant benefits" they're talking about benefits to them, not us.

MileageAddict

Significant benefits such as unemployment insurance once oil hits $100+/bbl again.

That could be one of the new hire hazing rituals....followed by a trip to the ICC for hell week.
