Has anyone ever been rehired after collecting severance? I'm applying back in after May 2 layoff. I know some will think that's crazy, but I have 15yrs in, and would like to keep that tenure and benefits, and I also need a paycheck!!! I am also... — read more

I believe it's been Witty's goal to destroy United all along.
What I can't understand is the Board condoning his reckless and sordid business strategies. Governance with a palpable void of moral development!

Inexperienced leaders
