Hi, I'm here on behalf of United Airlines as part of my work with Beutler Ink. As someone with a conflict of interest, I will abstain from directly editing the article and instead post requests to be reviewed and implemented by volunteers.
Currently, this article uses " Template:Infobox officeholder", which is typically for entries about politicians or political officeholders. This does not apply to Oscar Munoz, who has never run for public office. I'm requesting replacement of "Infobox officeholder" with " Template:Infobox person" which has more applicable fields for an executive.
I propose the infobox displayed to the right, which shares the same information to readers as the current infobox except removes the "Political party" field. Mr. Munoz does not discuss politics publicly and "Democratic" is currently unsourced.
Will an editor please review this request and update the infobox markup appropriately?
Thank you. Inkian Jason ( talk) 18:21, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I am back with another request to update this Wikipedia article on behalf of United Airlines.
Mr. Munoz has served on the board of trustees at University of North Florida as well as the PAFA advisory board of Vanderbilt University. Additionally, he has received coverage for forgoing his salary during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. I propose the following two additions to the Career section:

@ Theroadislong: If these additions seem appropriate to you, would you mind updating the article? I've provided specific markup and sourcing.
Thanks for your consideration, Inkian Jason ( talk) 15:37, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello again! I'm back to propose some additional improvements for community review. I've saved a draft article here: User:Inkian Jason/Oscar Munoz. I don't want to give editors too much to review at once, so for now I'd like to focus specifically on the Early life and Personal life sections, both of which are quite short.
For the Early life section, I propose replacing the current text with the text I've drafted here. The text is similar, but mentions Munoz's full birth date and the year in which he graduated from the University of Southern California. If editors believe this is an improvement, can you copy and paste over appropriately?
The current Personal life section confirms Munoz is married with children and that he had a transplant following a heart attack. The draft I've provided expands on this by also mentioning a couple philanthropic efforts, Munoz's hobbies, and a bit more context around his health and its impact on his work. Again, if editors believe this is an improvement over the existing text, please update the live page appropriately. These 2 sections use some of the same sources, hence grouping for this request.
@ Atvelonis: I'm submitting this request on behalf of United Airlines. Since you helped with the Scott Kirby image request, I was wondering if you'd be willing to help here as well? Happy to address any questions or concerns. Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason ( talk) 18:20, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi again! I am back with an additional request to improve this Wikipedia article on behalf of United Airlines. Currently the page has a lengthy introduction and a limited Career section focused primarily on the passenger removal incident. I'd like to reverse this to make the article more compliant with Wikipedia's manual of style, so I've saved a draft article here for editors to review and update the live page appropriately. Following are some issues with the current article:
The Career section I've proposed provides an accurate and neutral overview of the subject's career, based on reliable third-party sourcing, and moves some detail from the introduction to the article body. To clarify, the passenger removal incident has been covered in journalistic sources. The new draft does not remove this information but does eliminate the subsection heading. The draft also adds detail about Munoz's involvement with UA's achievement of new union labor contracts, where he has been directly credited. The section has been reorganized for flow and readability, and is more robust than the current article. UA has verified accuracy.
@ Atvelonis: Since you helped with the Early life and Personal life sections, would you have a moment to take a look at the draft page and update the article's Career section and introduction as well? I am not proposing any additional changes to the infobox at this time. Again, I'm happy to answer any questions.
Thanks again, Inkian Jason ( talk) 14:17, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
