‘You get what you pay for’ gets proven time and time
again.
That’s because two-thirds of the
independent contract workers hired to fuel United’s planes decided to take the
polar day off. You can imagine what that did to flight schedules. Severe
weather always disrupts flight operations at O’Hare, and when it’s that cold,
absenteeism is bound to rise. Yet no other airline suffered it to the extreme
as United.
