I don't see what all the discussion and fuss is about here... In the last 10 years they got more than half of us to pay for parking at the airports when hardly anyone ever used to, best of all our union helped craft the language for the side letter. Using that logic we should have to pay to use the toilets in the pilot areas, at least if you use toilet paper, so why not pay full fare for non rev privs? For that matter I think we should pay a security screening fee too.

I never paid for any of my own training, is it too late or can we do some sort of retro payroll deduct thing there? Maybe my union could help orchestrate that?

By the way I heard that the UAL MEC came real close to voting for binding arbitration.
