Notwithstanding the significant procedural concerns, contractual issues, and personal hardship associated with his termination, FA Blockhus remains willing to engage in good-faith discussions regarding a constructive resolution of this matter, including negotiated terms for returning to work with United Airlines.

FA Blockhus dedicated nearly twenty-five years of his life to United Airlines and took great pride in his profession as a Flight Attendant. Throughout his career, he consistently viewed United not merely as an employer, but as an important part of his identity, livelihood, and professional family. Despite the difficult circumstances surrounding his termination and the years of litigation and emotional strain that followed, FA Blockhus’s primary objective has never been retaliation or conflict. Rather, his goal has consistently been to clear his name, restore his professional reputation, and seek a fair resolution regarding a career that he valued deeply.

FA Blockhus recognizes that prolonged disputes of this nature can be difficult for all parties involved, including the Company, the Union, and the employees affected by the controversy. For that reason, he remains open to meaningful dialogue and practical solutions that would allow this matter to move toward resolution in a professional and constructive manner.

Importantly, FA Blockhus’s willingness to discuss reinstatement should not be interpreted as a waiver of the serious concerns he continues to maintain regarding the investigation, disciplinary process, and handling of his case. To the contrary, FA Blockhus continues to believe that substantial procedural irregularities occurred, including:

• proceeding with the investigation while he was on approved FMLA leave and medically unavailable,
• failure to postpone the investigation despite prior agreement to do so,
• failure to interview him prior to termination,
• reliance upon disputed and unauthenticated evidence,
• and deviations from the procedural safeguards contemplated under the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Railway Labor Act.

However, despite those concerns, FA Blockhus remains willing to approach the matter pragmatically and in good faith if the Company and/or the Union are similarly willing to engage in constructive reconsideration efforts.

FA Blockhus is therefore open to discussing reasonable terms and conditions relating to a return to work, including any mutually acceptable measures that may assist in restoring a productive and professional working relationship moving forward. His willingness to negotiate reflects both his continued dedication to the profession and his desire to bring closure to a matter that has had a profound impact upon his career, reputation, finances, and personal life.

FA Blockhus further believes that pursuing a fair and constructive resolution would ultimately benefit all parties involved. Such a resolution would demonstrate a commitment to fairness, accountability, and the principles of due process that are intended to govern disciplinary matters under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. It would also allow a long-tenured employee with decades of experience and service to resume contributing positively to the airline and the profession he proudly represented for many years.

Accordingly, FA Blockhus remains willing to engage in discussions regarding possible reinstatement, negotiated return-to-work conditions, or other mutually agreeable resolutions designed to resolve this matter fairly, professionally, and constructively.
