This issue has everything to do with getting the company to properly account for our pay and to fix a myriad of pay issues affecting every UAL pilot. The company told the union to pound sand. What was the union's response supposed to be? "Please sir, may I have another?" We finally have a Chairman who knows how to get things done - much to the chagrin of the company. I applaud his efforts to improve all aspects of the contract. We now enjoy working for a cash cow. They can afford to fix this.

This topic has been beaten to death on this and the other forum. I think your melodramatic rant about the union is a bit overwrought and off the mark. I also think the FNG's deserve a more accurate accounting of why we do things the way we do. Personally, I think its a raw deal as well. But I trust Captain Insler's judgment and I applaud his efforts to improve our contract. Because of his record in Grievance, I am happy to extend him the benefit of the doubt on this issue.

Are you someone's troll?

Years ago the company bought a mess of 747-400's and told the pilot's to just go fly them, and that they'd fix the pay issue later. The union thought differently and the pay issue was fixed right away.
