Campaign Warns Of Pitfalls In Outsourcing Mileage Plus, Airplane Maintenance

Teamsters, airline mechanics and a costumed turkey will leaflet five major airports on Wednesday, Nov. 21, one of the year's busiest travel days.

They will inform air travelers about the downside of United Airlines' plans to outsource its Mileage Plus program and to sell its key San Francisco maintenance facility.

Leafleting will take place at the terminal arrival and departure doors nearest United (NASDAQ:UAUA) between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. local time at Chicago O'Hare, Denver International, San Francisco International Los Angeles International and Washington Dulles airports.

The leaflet reads, "United Airlines: Don't Abandon Mileage Plus." Mileage Plus members also will be asked to sign a petition appealing to United to abandon plans to sell off Mileage Plus and its aircraft maintenance.

The Teamsters, who represent mechanics at 14 airlines, are in the process of organizing United Airlines mechanics.
