United Airlines flight attendants are gearing up to strike as contract negotiations have yet to reach its final destination. The local flight attendant union kicked-off demonstrations at the A.B. Won Pat International Airport on Thursday morning as United's profits are reportedly at an all-time high.

"United Airlines, you can’t hide! We can see your greedy side!" chanted flight attendants. Those staffers with United Airlines are gearing-up for a strike. After a nearly four-year fight for a new contract, negotiations are far from over.

The union local council president Rsei Isim says they are preparing for "chaos" in the event the National Mediation Board gives the green light. "We are signing up for the GUTS list and getting ready for being released from the mediator. That’s still down the line, but we want to prepare to the point we are ready to strike or ready for chaos in the event the mediation board does release us," Isim detailed.

The GUTS - Gearing Up To Strike - list is where flight attendants can signup to be called on first to strike. The confidential list opened Thursday nationwide.

"It remains confidential because when it comes down to the CHAOS, it could be a whole base or intermittent locations, certain locations, flights or destinations. It serves as an element of surprise," Isim continued.

CHAOS stands for Create Havoc Around Our System and aims to disrupt travel once a strike is authorized. But holiday fliers don't need to worry about turbulence just yet.

"It’s not going to disrupt people’s traveling in regards to the holiday season," assured Isim.

Thursday’s day of action comes on the heels of United’s most profitable day in the airline’s history earlier this month, all while management pushes concessions the union says is unheard of. 

Isim said, "We haven’t had a raise in over three years. They want to increase the health cost for our members. They want to prolong duty hours with less rest. Those are concessions we do not agree on, among other concessions the company is pushing to take off the table."

The union says its in stark contrast to United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby’s public statement that United flight attendants deserve an industry leading contract.  "Put the money where your mouth is," said Isim. "If you’re going to say that we deserve an industry leading contract, come to the table and provide us that contract."

The picketing locally is just the start as demonstrations pick up across the US mainland.
