As for listing for the jump in hopes of sliding into first without the ridiculous UAL fee, maybe UALPA should negotiate free upgrades to First class like Delta does.
Yep the decision is mine and I'll stand by it
They wouldn’t bump a first class passenger and you know that. They would first bump a non rev passenger who had priority in the cabin over the United pilot because the flight was on their metal, next they go to a coach passenger. From what I understand, this is actually helping many of us. We simply call the FODM and say that we are on a brand X flight and they positive space is to base. Getting home is a different story, however I doubt that it is that big of a problem. Not many people from any airline are saying no. I don’t even know if many of the ones here who say they are are really captains. The PDR data will tell who is, and who isn’t. I hope on the regional side that there is a similar process to report United pilots who are playing this stupid game as well.
