In case some of you think that employees at American are the only unhappy campers in the airline industry, pshaw.

As we have written in PlaneBusiness Banter, while the situation at American is one thing — the compensation totals paid out to the management at United Airlines following that airline’s bankruptcy exit are off the charts.

Today, the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) Local 9 Executive Council (LEC) voted unanimously to withhold support from the United Airlines board of directors on shares that Local 9 owns. Unfortunately, the local only owns 100 shares of United Airlines. But what do they say, it’s the thought that counts?

AMFA joins the Air Line Pilots Association and the Association Of Flight Attendants, in strongly urging any of its members that hold UAL stock to “vote to withhold” in the Board of Directors election.

Last week, ALPA and the AFA urged their members who hold stock in parent UAL Corp. to oppose the company’s nominees for the board of directors.

The AFA and ALPA said they are taking a stand against the election of the 10 nominees for independent directors. Those directors include CEO Glenn Tilton.

United Airline’s annual meeting is scheduled for May 10.
