It’s hard to speak objectively about an intimate relationship once you’re out of it. And I was in one with United Airlines for about 8 years.  When my supervisor pinned my wings, I don’t think I was more honored to join an organization.

By 2012, two years after the merger with Continental Airlines, the culture changed for both airlines and it was not for the best.   Almost 4 years later, I took “French Leave” and did my best not to bear ill will towards my former employer.  Unfortunately, it was just a matter of time for that toxic culture to become public.
