20% of 12,000+ is a big number. Imagine a few grand of us on the street, irrespective of everything we have done to date because of what?
You think its valid, that's fine. I say it stinks.
Fair points, but I'm also pretty sure the interview pass rate is also far different these days. How many pilots passed the interview the day you trekked over to the Stapleton Plaza office tower?
It seems like UAL has a long history of arbitrary selection one way or another. (Not that I agree that arbitrary is a good thing....)
