Best you stick to working alone; your "understanding" of the employer/employee relationship is zero. No doubt you're too busy caring deeply about men who play games with balls to have time to learn the necessary skills.
From where I'm sitting, unles you get paid to create companies for other people, then your track record of "creating companies" refers to creating them for yourself.
Which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in me that you know what you're talking about. It probably means that every company you have created has failed. Note: I say this without any personal knowledge of what you have created or what you created them for.
The real issues surrounding United's (apparent-) demise (and every other large corporation in dire straits) has everything to do with the exponentially-increasing cost of providing benefits to large numbers of employees.
Salary, in a nutshell, is a very small part of the equation; it can cost an employer up to three times salary to provide basic benefits (health insurance, pension and retirement benefits, Social Security taxes, sick time, vacation time, etc). It gets even worse when a corporation does business with government (especially at the state level, where pre-determined pension responsibilities fall squarely upon the shoulders of the employer -- this is the cost of doing business with the government or a government agency).
Add to the mix the fact that many (if not most) of today's most costliest employees belong to the "Baby Boom" generation that will soon retire in unprecedented numbers. These are the most expensive employees, taken as a group.
Finally, the largest problem is the new school of management theory which is, sad to say, almost universally divorced from the concept of true economics. Business, these days, is conducted under the aegis of formulaic rote -- not economic reality. I don't know what they are teaching MBA's these days, but it is certainly NOT economics or management.
"No doubt you're too busy caring ..."
Something you don't have to worry about obviously. At least not in this lifetime. Good luck.
