The idea of doing in on your Training month is actually brilliant. Would allow everyone to have different months during the course of their careers.
Maybe give them 13 days off too, plus 74 hrs of pay..
Alas, it will never happen because the senior pilots of Legacy United will never allow such a thing to happen, even if it were to be shown to build unity within the ranks.
Just like we will never see major changes to the sick leave section while one group of pilots has tons of sick time in their banks.
Damn the pilots below!

Would never support this Tomfoolery. Pay your dues and get off reserve if and when you can. Rewriting the rules well after some of us have already paid the piper is double jeopardy and would never, (thank god), fly at UAL.
Better yet, lets fight for a complete re-write of the reserve section as well as many more chapters by not passing these insidious extensions. Amazing how fast we'll all sell each other out for a few silver coins.
