ONE thing will allow me to do that without crushing my soul.......the knowledge that I have a job at UAL to come back to, that’s WORTH coming back to. No concessions. No givebacks. No expansion of regional flying at the expense of mainline. Good luck to all, but mostly me. (That last one is a joke)
I do to and I want you to KEEP YOUR JOB and help bring me and all the XJT, Mesa, GoJet and every other regional pilot with you. I was corporate guy for many years tried to help anyone I could get a better life whether it was corporate or 121. I came to this side few years back had a chance to go to an LLC and did not go because a program was put in place for me to get to a mainline. I F'd up and stayed here. I gambled and I lost. You gambled and won. I wish the mainline Union would put in place a real minor league system. Meaning we fly in the regionals and when number called we flow up and when something like Covid-19 happens you could just flow back. Yes pay cut and all but still be working. Look I don't have all the answers. I have ideas and one of them is we need to stop fighting amongst ourselves and pressure ALPA whom represents both our pilot groups to pressure United management to take a look at my idea or ideas like it. So that we all get to play in the sandbox together. For all the grammar Nazi's out there hopefully I got this one right don't want the ruler against my knuckles. For those old enough to remember those days.
