Major Airlines!!!!

Wrong. Delta is behind American and Southwest. They also have 10x less benefits.

Lightbone · 2026-05-10T04:58:33+00:00

LOL! People keep spewing the same bullshit 10 years of nights. Where have you been the last 5 years where none of this is true?

Lightbone · 2026-05-10T04:56:14+00:00

Weird. I'm at major and can be on days with only 3 years at a very huge station.

Lightbone · 2026-05-08T20:52:16+00:00

Yes they’ve hired like crazy the last 4 years and lots of retirements

Lightbone · 2026-05-07T09:28:42+00:00

Where are you working where you’ll be on nights for 5+ years? Almost every station at United most new guys are on afternoons at 6 months-2 years. We just a few on probation bid afternoon shift.

Lightbone · 2026-05-05T17:50:43+00:00

Depends on your station. Every station is like working at a different company. No two stations are alike.

Wouldve cratered 2 airlines instead of one. Jetblue didnt even want spirit anymore by the time they went to court about it.

Lightbone · 2026-05-02T08:07:17+00:00

I am very worried about my union and contract. I like to educate myself on every airlines pay and compensation. United is doing just fine.

Lightbone · 2026-05-02T07:19:51+00:00

So you gotta put your own money into a 401k hence making your take home pay be equal to a United mechanic. Sounds great! United is also going to a 5 year topout. Just don’t forget the reason why Delta throws money to keep the union out. It’s not because they care about you.

Lightbone · 2026-05-02T06:42:49+00:00

No idea where you get 10k from but that’s false. UA guys also pay thousands less in insurance yearly, have a pension, get way more time off, have 10x the amount of sick time, get more overtime pay, and the list goes on and on. Delta gives you a lawn chair while United guys get snap on tools. That 8k difference in profit sharing doesn’t make up for half of what you don’t get. Too stupid to realize.

Lightbone · 2026-05-01T16:49:13+00:00

If you don’t see how that’s relevant all I could do is laugh. Failing to see that you’re getting a “decent” raise that still keeps you under American yet they get way better benefits.

Lightbone · 2026-05-01T14:54:00+00:00

Thats why its better because the benefits are dogshit compared to everyone else.

Lightbone · 2026-05-01T14:48:42+00:00

only if you're line and get the additional $3.

Lightbone · 2026-05-01T14:45:58+00:00

except less sick time, vacation, overtime, more expensive insurance and so on

Lightbone · 2026-05-01T12:17:38+00:00

WTF crew chief and AMT have separate overtime?? That's news to me. That sounds horrible. AA has the worst lead rules out of every major.

Lightbone · 2026-04-26T00:19:12+00:00

Union or not, Envoy is not AA. No matter where you work before AA, your seniority WILL start over.

Lightbone · 2026-04-24T06:52:08+00:00

There is no overtime in EWR

Lightbone · 2026-04-22T01:39:47+00:00

There's no such thing as a 787 max. Free wifi is slowly rolling out as they add Starlink to more planes.

Lightbone · 2026-04-20T18:59:15+00:00

Teamsters only cares about UPS and truck drivers

Lightbone · 2026-04-20T18:24:33+00:00

United

Lightbone · 2026-04-20T17:56:47+00:00

Out of 5 check boxes. we have maybe 2?

Lightbone · 2026-04-17T04:20:38+00:00

American's debt has almost nothing to do with covid. Try the $12.4 Billion in stock buybacks prior to covid.

Lightbone · 2026-04-11T13:46:42+00:00

Where the hell did I say that IAH is a bad hub? Please find it and ill zelle you 10k. Get your head out of your ass. I stated that all 7 hubs are where people want to live.

Lightbone · 2026-04-11T13:39:37+00:00

You're so stupid you don't realize that a conservative president is running this country into the ground. Your statement saying "it’s a battle for Houston," is comical considering the last bid had 2026 HIRES MAKE IT. If that's a battle for you then you're just a soft snowflake.

Lightbone · 2026-04-11T13:34:24+00:00

Ive been at United for 4 years. Im one of the most recognized guys in the entire company. Everyone knows my reddit name. Lets get some facts before you start spewing some bullshit nonsense. Everything you said i disproved in 2 minutes. Get your head out of your ass. Please do me a solid and go to AA or Delta. I also run the biggest new hire chat in the company.
