United Airlines nears flight attendants deal after CE Munoz steps in
The tenor of contract talks between United and its flight attendants, which have gone nowhere for 5 years, improved suddenly thanks to the involvement of CE Oscar Munoz. "Oscar has an actual vision for the airline: It's a night and day change," said Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants, which represents United's 24,000 flight attendants. "I have worked with a lot of managements. I have never seen a CE this engaged and this committed to the success of the company." Nelson said she expects that a deal can be negotiated in the next several months. Munoz "is a guy who understands that the airline business is about people," Nelson said. "He made more changes in {his first} 5 weeks than we had seen in 5 years. That first day we met, it was clear that United management finally was interested in getting a deal." <br/>
