Anyone contemplating coming to "United" as a New Hire (Off the Street hires in 2013), take notice.
In 2014-15 when the company decides that it's time to get rid of the A319 (Aircraft that is NOT considered a New Small NarrowBody Aircraft).. they can furlough the "new hires, not touch the current pilots and not have to worry about Block Hours. Those 1st 153 76 can fly up (along with the entire UAX Fleet) 120% of our Single Aisle Company Aircraft.
1-C-1-f Scheduled Aircraft Block Hours of United Express Flying as Percentage of Block Hours of Company Flying on Single-Aisle Aircraft
1-C-1-f-(1) In any Rolling Twelve-Month Period ending the first full calendar month following date of signing of this Agreement or later, the Company shall not Schedule or permit the Scheduling of aircraft block hours of United Express Flying (excluding block hours operated by 37-Seat Turboprop Aircraft) exceeding the maximum percentage of Scheduled aircraft block hours of Company Flying on single-aisle Company Aircraft (“Max. % of UAXBH to SBH”) set forth in the following chart. Cells 1 to 8 state the number of 76-Seat Aircraft operated in United Express Flying (cells 2 through 8 show an
increase in the number of such 76-Seat Aircraft if added under Section 1-C-1-g). Cells 9 through 16 state the Max. % of UAXBH to SBH that the Company must maintain based on the number of 76-Seat Aircraft in cells 1 through 8. The measurement for the twelve (12) months in any Rolling Twelve-Month Period shall be made on a weighted basis by the number of 76-Seat Aircraft in United Express Flying in each month.
Oh.. and as the company gets a couple of 90 seaters configured to 76 seats, with a First Class flying between Hub to Hub or other destinations.. up to 900 nm; the company can park 3 50 seaters~
So lets see. 3 50 seaters equal 150 seats. Each flying 10 hours a day.. that's 30 hours of flying.
Replaced by 2 "76 seaters" equal 152 seats. Each flying 12 hours a day.. 24 hours of flying.
Sounds about right.
NOT

PS> I like this line too-
1-C-1-f-(2) The Company shall be excused from compliance with Section 1-C-1-f-(1) for the period of time that a Circumstance Beyond the Company's Control is the cause of such non-compliance.
PPS> Any Delta Pilots want to chime in here, about the difference between our TA and Block Hours vs. your PWA and ASM's?
