SCG, thanks for the reminder of the latest in a long string of mgmt's. discounting of UAL's professional pilots.
Words: "We would like to resolve these contracts as soon as possible" Jeff Smisek
Actions: Spending the money and attention on paint jobs, interior decorating, RJ operations and
mgmt. bonuses while mgmt. refuses to respond to the pilots on compensation/scope/hours of service.
(Translation: "We just spent 1 Billion on RJ operations so we can't afford you now. Please be "fair" and help us out")
The pilots have now not only been surpassed in importance by RJ's and
bag fees, (per ticket surcharge exceeds contract cost)
we've been surpassed in importance by paint jobs and interior decorating.
Why? Because they can. Why can they? Because we let them.
Although many people are ready to shut this place down for an industry leading contract, there are still people
helping themselves/mgmt. while mgmt. repeatedly disregards the pilot group and our profession as a whole.
When are you helpers going to wake up?
Thanks helper "winners", Jeff thanks you too for allowing the funds to be spent elsewhere.
(except for the 5hrs. JRM pay you got for bailing them out, have a few drinks on the rest of our backs)
