I think you have to give them 2 years at ExpressJet before being eligible. The only thing I’ve read that gives me pause is the criteria used in the board of review. It mentions sick leave usage. This is concerning because it’s subtle pilot pushing. Obviously United would never admit it, but to have that in writing is problematic, imo. We already have an absence management policy. Is the board of review using those numbers to determine candidate suitability? I seriously doubt it. I would wager that is is much more stringent. And ALPA should be pushing back on this. Hard. Imagine the lawsuit if an otherwise great candidate has a medical situation requiring significant sick leave usage. (Let’s say a hernia surgery, as an example). He or she is turned down. Blatantly unfair, and exposing United to lawsuits. Or, the more likely scenario is people will come to work with head colds and other minor illnesses that should drive a sick call. But, out of fear or being passed over by the review board, they come to work when they shouldn’t. The company darn well knows this, too.
