Second, I am not the guy posting dissertations on UA's contract with UAX that allegedly requires UAX carriers to hire furloughed pilots, nor did I comment on that topic. I only commented that were was a potential to rehire C5 employees for a specific interval. I said I did not have a copy of LOA 3 so naturally that was speculative. You have corrected me on that topic. 120 days. Got it.
In the future, kindly cite what you think is wrong or whatever "misinformation" you think I'm promoting and if necessary I'll correct or retract what I said. This is proper discourse, and while I don't necessarily expect that at APC, I do try to encourage it.
If you are referring to my rather lengthy post about the UAL contract relating to the hiring of furloughed pilots as a dissertation, I was just correcting some false information posted by another United pilot who was incorrectly insisting that you guys would have hire furloughed United pilots. Actually quoting the contract makes for a long post, but it clears up rumors and speculation. There is nothing that is “allegedly required“ by UAX carriers. Since you guys don’t fly anything greater than 50 seats, the LOA doesn’t apply to you and your company can hire who they want. Carriers who do fly aircraft bigger than 50 seats will have to either comply with the LOA, or stop flying 70/76 seat aircraft for United. Good luck to all. There are no guarantees. United could have picked CommutAir to survive because they didn’t see a need a larger company to handle a much smaller E145 fleet going forward, or you guys could expand. United could keep planes in storage, or entire fleets could be retired. This is far from over, no one is safe, and there will be more industry casualties before this is over.
