Hopefully anyone reading this has enough common sense to hold back their frustration and opinions of what posters are writing in this thread. No one has any real details so I wouldn't hold any credibility to what you hear. What until the details come out. Then feel free to get all crazy and stuff.
See this is where the mentality of "wait and see" isn't going to fly. The company is actively trying to get concessions out of us. Members of my union are being fairly forthcoming with info especially on sections of the contract where management is asking for concessions. Some of the things I spoke about came from two very good sources. Some of it was said by Jerry Atkin prior to negotiations heating up and some of it came from United management about our positive space deadheads. Our union and the company cannot come to an agreement on deadheading mostly because management does not want to ask for relief from United.
Believe what you want but you are in a fairytale if you think a better QOL will just be placed in your lap and all you have to do is vote.
