Conclusion. At its root, trading MPG, abrogating seniority, setting bad precedent, and resulting disparities between fleets and seats are bad ideas and are too high a price to pay. All of us are empathetic to those looking at furlough. The lessons of the past have taught us that creative “solutions” today often harm those we are trying to protect.
This recommendation against the LOA is not meant as an abandonment of those who will very likely be furloughed should the TA fail. We want you to return swiftly to an intact contract that does not damage your future career. Read the TA - objectively and without spin. We strongly believe that all UAL pilots and the future of our profession are best represented by a “no” vote.
