UAL has PS in their contract. It was negotiated as such.
Why is that so hard to understand? If you get it then your quote above makes ZERO sense.
Keep it professional... It is a sunset clause in our contract, which means it has to be negotiated, just like your block hour ratio, furlough protections etc...( which are not in your contract) yet you gained as a result of a deal. Pierce did what the pilot group overall through our reps requested. Negotiate PS if at all possible. I suspect your MEC would have figured out a way, if at all possible, to place 40M in the hands of pilots under a bankruptcy contract and if theydidnt try, you should get rid of them...Again, if it was for leverage in which you wanted us to forego, then why didn't your MEC propose to do the same for all your pilots...answer..you guys would run them out of office for ****ing away your PS as a tool for unity, and leverage....
