Shortly after learning of the appointment of Oscar Munoz as the new President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of United on September 8, 2015, United Master Executive Council (MEC) President, Ken Diaz, sent a letter welcoming him to his new position.  Ken requested that he meet with the United MEC Officers as his schedule permitted to discuss, among other things, the current state of our airline.

On September 14, 2015, Oscar sent a letter to the Union Leaders at United inviting them to attend a summit with other Labor Leaders in Chicago. According to Oscar’s invitation, the purpose of the meeting is twofold; to hear from Labor Leaders and to provide an opportunity for Oscar to share his vision of the future of United Airlines. The invitation indicates the summit, scheduled for October 15, 2015 in Chicago, will be informal.

We remain cautiously optimistic about our new CEO and look forward to having many meaningful discussions with him where we will take the opportunity to present our ideas and views relative to the future of United and, most importantly, the status of our ongoing negotiations with United Airlines. 

In news that is more recent United yesterday released an open letter from our new CEO, Oscar Munoz, which was published in major U.S. Newspapers including the New York TimesThe Wall Street Journal and Chicago Tribune.  As part of this renewed initiative to improve our airline, United announced the launch of a new online “hub" to collect questions and suggestions for improvements – www.UnitedAirtime.com. Oscar appeared in the welcome video and briefly shares his thoughts on how we fly forward together. While not guaranteeing an answer to every question, suggestion or idea submitted, in an effort to engage employees and customers and regain their allegiance, a promise has been made to read and respond to as many of these messages as they possibly can.
