United downsizing - will cut 1,300 Houston jobs, IAH-AKL dead, no 787 in Houston
Buyouts, transfers or pink slips oh my! I still don't understand how LUVs Latin America expansion has anything to do with UA's Auckland route :( bye bye 787 (www.chron.com) Más...United is reacting the same way my kids do when I say "no, you can not have a cookie"
When Continental acquired/merged with the mismanaged for years and miriads of obsolete legacy aircraft changing the identity to United, Jeff Smisek has gotten his wish an achieved his goal of being CEO to the "largest" airline. Unfortunately for all, Smisek doesn't hold a candle to Gordon Bethune who brought Continental back from its previous ashes.
As usual, the employees and the customers bear the brunt of this poorly thought out and planned "merger".

Sour grapes for sure.
My 4 year old nephew throws tantrums when he doesnt get his way either... UA just using this as excuse for layoffs... nobody buys the fact that AUK is cancelled because WN will fly to Mexico or Latin America in 3 years.
Be careful about your celebrating your victory at IAH, one of your competitors was notoriously famous for such act of overt celebration and now stands at the brink of bankruptcy. Sometimes what appears to be favorable turns out to be not so favorable.
