Default Let's Make it Right
The voting is done and the TA has passed. As everyone is aware, it included a provision that significantly discriminates against the United pilots that have been furloughed twice. We reached out to the MEC’s as well as ALPA national to attempt to have the language removed with no success. A website has been established to raise funds to take whatever steps are necessary to insure that furloughed United pilots are not treated as second class citizens. The United MEC has stated that they do not believe that this carve out will have an influence on the SLI, but Jay Pierce demanded it be inserted for a reason. If the CAL MEC is successful in stapling the bottom 1436 pilots on the United list, it will have an impact on every United pilot with the possible exception of the number pilot on the list. Every pilot has received a retroactive pay increase and most will be getting a lump sum distribution in the tens of thousands of dollars. If you haven’t contributed already, please take a moment to visit www.LOA25.com. Many of us hired 12 or 13 years ago have struggled throughout this period with some involuntarily furloughed for as long as nine years. We don’t expect this to be easy and we need your help, please donate whatever you think is appropriate and thank you.
