What is my union doing to save my job?
Answer: Silence.
Welcome to United Airlines - Every man for himself.
A few simple questions for you UAL SUX:
1) Are you currently flying for someone?
2) IF you are, why don't you simply stop coming to work?
That's in essence what you are asking LCA to stop doing their job. They can just as soon stop giving line checks and training as you can stop showing up for your pairings. You want THEM to put THEIR collective jobs on the line? Does it state somewhere in the UAL contract that in the event of a furlough that LCAs don't have to conduct training anymore? If it doesn't, then what you are suggesting would be illegal job action and could get people in big trouble if suggested by someone with a leadership position.
Add in the fact that if one or two LCA decided to quit, 1 or 2 more would just step up and fill those positions. You're living in a fantasy world.
