Why do you guys care anyway? It's not exactly news that pre-covid C5 was taking over flying in EWR from you guys while you were moving out to ORD. It makes perfect sense to me that UAL was expecting C5 to do a bulk of the E145 lift out of EWR during the recovery. And for the record, 8000 block is less than 70% of the flying we were doing this time last year so it's not exactly a gift. Even with that many hours we'd have to furlough some people come October 1.
Everything you say is a absurd, not to mention you didn't get the Fake block hours you're talking about in the end so it's irrelevant. Secondly, the "travel ban" /quarantine requirement was implemented on June 24th for EWR. We have been given block hours far exceeding the IAD block hours in question only days in advance and you want to believe a fairytale that United couldn't give you the flying back in IAD with almost 5 weeks of lead time? haha this is getting more ridiculous by the minute.
