Nope, it’s the fact that people here are underpaid, overworked and have no attachment to the mainline partner. They are sick and tired of being beaten down. United ruined a lot of good will with the CPP (17% success rate) and they refuse to negotiate letter 2 which they promised to do. The pilot group agreed to the accelerated negotiations in order to get the 175 program up and rolling in record time.
Funny how they scrutinize our pilots about “integrity” but can’t even uphold that value themselves. Promises were made and not kept!
Adding some 175’s won’t fix the multiple issues here which are lower pay, bad QOL and no real movement from the top which stagnates things horribly (not easy fix).
The issues here are not easy fixes but United/Expressjet doesn’t even seem to be attempting a fix in any way. They will continue to watch things deteriorate.
People are just done, lanyards have nothing to do with it.
