CHICAGO, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Pilots at Chicago's United Airlines are calling for a change of leadership at the country's second largest airline, a union official said.
Steve Wallach, chairman of the United Master Executive Council, which leads the Air Line Pilots Association, said United Chief Executive Officer Glenn Tilton had neglected the airline's day-to-day functions in favor of a merger, the Chicago Tribune reported. United has explored possible mergers with Delta, Continental and US Airways.
