Which airline is better for labor, US Airways, or United?
Edited on Wed Jan-20-10 02:42 PM by mahina
Have to fly to the continent, and don't want to support the bad guys to the degree that it's possible.

Thanks, aloha

1. Which continent?
Might make a difference as to what airlines fly there.

3. I'm going to North America.
Delta is off the list thanks to Blue Bear's advice. Thanks much.

2. Well, with Delta/NW you might get an extra hour's flying time...
..in support of the new Union pick rules.

4. None of the above?
Just about every US airline, including these two, has abrogated their contracts with employees in recent years. Both of these carriers have imposed massive pay cuts and terminated pensions for their front line employees--just like the rest.

5. Not getting very far in a canoe, have to choose the lesser
of two weevils.

Point taken though! Sucks. Thanks for the truth.
