And yet this is still a total waste of time. All UAL pilots know how we operate (& 'fly' since you've carved out the distinction for some reason), but I still haven't figured out why its the subject of discussion? Is it some kind of analogy gone awry???
Apparently the LOA has been published on the ALPA MEC site. Let's continue discussing the difference between flying and operating on the new Early Out LOA thread 🙂
