Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

I have been an employee of United Airlines for more than 35 years and a 30-year resident of the Chicago area.

I can’t ignore David Greising’s mean-spirited column “Billion-dollar stunts don’t fly with air board” (Business, Dec. 8).

Whatever happened to loyalty–and supporting your hometown airline?

United has been a top player in the airline industry for more than 50 years.

The airline and its 18,000-plus Illinois employees have contributed to the economy of the Chicago area and the State of Illinois.

Not one of Greising’s nameless “experts” has asked me or fellow employees, that I know, about employee morale.

It is very difficult to read his doom-and-gloom comments about UAL, particularly when our employees and management are trying to work out our company’s problems.

I get the feeling that he would like nothing better than to have United Airlines disappear from the radar screen.

Whatever did we do to him?
