The key here is that everyone that I have talked to about this agrees this is wrong and as much as I want to like Insler because I think he is a smart guy and has done some good things, he and the rest of the MEC have thumbed their nose at legacy cal furloughed pilots regarding this issue. For whatever reason, and it’s anyone’s guess why, the union refuses to fight for this. Had this been legacy Ual pilots affected it would have been different and everybody knows it as evidenced by the loa written especially for them post merger. Insler refuseD to call me back even when I left him voicemails about this. The impression I get is that this poking the eyes of the red headed step children is something he has learned to rather enjoy! If there are furloughs in United’s future, and I hope there isn’t, but if there is and if we are not made whole before they return with better benefits than I have as a current employee, I am almost certainly going to take further action. It’s the principle of the thing you know!
