United ALPA Calls for Tilton’s Resignation; Rolls Out Anti-Tilton Website

The pilots at United Airlines have decided to crank up their anger against Chairman and CEO Glenn Tilton a couple of few notches.

Monday the United Airlines’ ALPA MEC issued a press release in which it  called for Tilton’s resignation.

Fine. Except it’s a bit late.

But in what is clearly now a new benchmark of new labor/management relations going forward utilizing the latest in Internet techonlogy,  the ALPA MEC also coupled the release with the announcement of a new website located with an apt Internet address: GlennTilton.com.

Visitors to the site can send Glenn an email, can send a complaint about customer service or airline experience, or merely occupy their time reading background blurbs on such topics as financial failures, strategic failures, and operational failures.

There is even a multiple choice quiz as to where members of the UAL board stay when in town for board meetings. This one was a no-brainer, though, as I figured they stayed where Glenn more or less lived for a long time. Yep. I was right. (I won’t give the answer away — I’ll give you something to look forward to.)

I always like to think that we here at the PlaneBusiness Worldwide Headquarters are ahead of the curve. So I would humbly point out our Special “Glenn Tilton Self-Enrichment Award,” which was bestowed upon Mr. Tilton and his close associates in 2006.
