If United or it's parent company are publicly owned, I hope their stocks plummett.

The revenge should be gotten by the shareholders punishing the managers. Their value is trounced by this.

It's management and their policies that are making it bad for the company at large and their employees. Who ever was in charge of this policy should step down or be fired.
