If you worked at UA, you’d know we’re way behind on aircraft deliveries and hiring is always for the next 6-12 months.
Also, I didn’t say we hadn’t hired this month, I said we had suspended hiring but can’t remember when it was due to take effect. The interview groups are definitely smaller and less frequent.
A good friend of mine is also in the Denver training center and told me the same thing. According to him the issue is the planes aren’t coming fast enough, not a lack of will on UA’s part. Exactly as you are saying
