More than likely the reason for all the OT (more than usual) is due to recurrent training with the Reissue reps in INT that is taking 2 days. Keep in mind most RI reps are in most departments allthough there are a few exeptions. We are very busy. Think management needs to understand that when we add another code share flight, it is like adding another city that increases the call volume. Biz is picking up but the number of res agts are not.

Most to do with UNITED and that they plan on cancelling a ton of flights and gues who gets to protect them ...We do ...How knows...We soon shall find out!!!!!!!!
My question is this, if the above statement was the truth, then why would UAL in june add over 150+ flights and in july another 50+ flights? This rumor makes no sense at all.

If UA were about to cancel a "ton of flights" and US knew about it, me thinks the DOJ might have a problem with that. US and UA are still competitors, and UA (I don''t think) can share such information with a competitor without it being collusion. ITRADE, am I interpreting this correctly?
Plus, right, UA is adding flights back, so this makes no sense. The only way it MIGHT make sense is if a hub were in fact being downsized (such as IAD). But, again, I don''t think UA can really tell US that before making it public knowledge.
I'm not sure that collusion alone is a problem... it's collusion that has a certain anti-competitive effect. Well, I"m just guessing. That's why it's so problematic. Remember Microsoft? But the DOT has some jursidiction, here as well.
