That’s why every one of you checked on how many United was hiring every month & how many people were beneath you or how close were to the G line. ..every F’n PBS bid.
I’m all in for assessments and furlough protection language IE current contract.
Asking me to take a significant 120,000 pay cut just to see if United doesn’t furlough. is another story.
Kudos to your answer, all of us have paid our dues in last 20+ years united and Alpa hired aggressively and we know Alpa loves bodies on the property so they can collect more money, I am all in for helping junior pilots but we all know its a gamble when we get hired by airlines, I can not believe united management is so cheap as not to offer what delta and southwest offered for early retirement, this would have prevented furloughs for sure and at age of 58 i would have seriously considered the early out so now they are throwing pilots against pilots, United management should take lessons of Delta and Southwest.
