Update On Annual Vacation

The following report is from the System Schedule Committee's Manpower Subcommittee

As most of you are aware, the annual vacation bid award results the company published last night “have issues” (to put it mildly). It will come as no surprise that United’s IT department has once again dropped the ball in providing the pilot group the tools to exercise our contractual rights.

The SSC is actively engaged with the company to determine the scope of the problems with the award and how to correct them. Please hold on to your questions about the erroneous awards until we have completed that process. We are all frustrated with the company’s inability to handle what should be, ostensibly, a relatively simple process that is of critical importance to all pilots. We will ensure you are provided with more information on the issues and the corrective actions as it becomes available. In the meantime, rest assured that this abrogation of your contract will not be allowed to stand.

JH has been very ineffective of getting our contractual rights. He does get letters written explaining why he's being beaten by management. It's time JH hits the road.
