It’s the dreaded Friday the 13th. Not that I have a thing about black cats or ladders or anything….

In fact there are two black cats who are cherished members of the PlaneBusiness Advisory board. The distinguished Max the Cat, and his mother, Mom Cat.

As for ladders, I’m too tall to walk under one without some difficulty, so that’s never been a problem either.

Unfortunately, however, we understand that a lot of airline employees may have another reason to fear this Friday the 13th in particular. That reason is because it appears a lot of folks are either looking at their last day today at work (at United in particular) or others are expecting to find out today if they stay or if they go — not only at United, but at other carriers as well.
