Earlier today we got news that United’s flight attendants had ratified a contract. It was a close vote — 90% of flight attendants cast ballots and only 53% of those voted in favor. But it lets the airline move forward combining the legacy United and legacy Continental flight attendant groups as one.
As I wrote at the time, United will finally be one airline in the sky. From a customer-facing standpoint that will complete the merger.
But the airline’s work isn’t done, even with that. United has been working for years on a contract with mechanics.
