I am a line holder and would prefer to fly in the mid 70s for a month. I don't understand why my June line came out at 91 hours. I thought the computer had to stop loading flying on your line after it hit 84 hours...but I'm still learning.
I've enjoyed every CAL pilot I've worked with away from the training center...and most of my United buddies on the Cal side would probably echo that sentiment. But get your facts correct if you are going to spout off about the Blue side. The fact that you think the Union didnt do anything for us furloughed guys in the way of a furlough fund just demonstrates that you are going off half-cocked.
Cadetdriver and Pilotgolfer, I apologize for my misstatement! I believed this to be fact, from a double furlough UAL pilot that I flew with!! This is what I was told face to face so imagine the falsehoods stated on here!! I do not like to be part of that so my apologies for posting something not factual!! I am very happy that they took care of all the furloughed pilots, that was not the impression I took away from our conversation. From now on I will double check my stories through multiple sources before posting. Now I've have to go wash this terrible "Foot" taste out of my mouth!!
