“The foundation this MEC has laid over the past three years will continue to position the United pilots for success. The final UPA hourly pay rate increase of 4% became effective December 30, 2018. We resume negotiations the first week of January, continuing the aggressive schedule we have used since Section 6 opened in March 2018. P2P volunteers will be on the ground answering questions in our terminals system-wide beginning in late January. Finally, you will soon receive the quarterly Negotiating Committee update, “The Brief”, with additional details on the progress of negotiations. If you have any questions, please contact your LEC officers or contact our P2P volunteers at pdr.alpa.org using the “Section 6 Questions-P2P” drop-down menu.

The PDR system is the communication method we have these days and all of our LEC and MEC officers say the same thing, USE IT!

These are documented responses to all sorts of things and are not limited to contractural issues. If enough pilots complain about the tie color it will change and not just because a few yelled louder than others.
