The flight attendants at united have approved a CHAOS strike vote.

For those of you that don't know that that means, it means "Create Havoc Around Our System."

The Flight attendants (who voted not to participate in the buy out of United, and so never took the paycut that the pilots and the mechanics took) are miffed that they signed a 10 year contract and thus haven't gotten recent raises that the rest of the employee groups received.

I think you have just seen the first mini strike buy the flight attendants.

I got no sympathy for them, as they are working in the middle of a legal contract, and did not give back during ESOP.

Cheers
