One more tidbit of info.... all United interview Capt’s and FO’s are line pilots. I know that there are some lifers out there but you might not want to become a lifer over a bad decision like this one.
What a classless threat.
You do understand that this news came out just yesterday straight from SAPA and not from our pilot group of 5000+. I can’t speak for everyone but I certainly don’t want to be denying fellow pilots the jumpseat but unfortunately our hands our tied. SAPA has made it clear that it’s a FOM violation punishable by FAA action to go against this.
Does United like to hire heroic pilots that choose to go break company policy’s and FARs just because it’s the right thing to do?
Like I said I certainly don’t want this to be the outcome. I’m frustrated with both SAPA and UAL MEC for failing to work together on this in a timely and responsible manner.
