The problem is, UAL also would not want this LOA permanent in the event of a BK.
Yes, they would want deep cuts but pretty much the opposite of this LOA. Instead, they would desire very high LPAs (to enable maximum furloughs) combined with huge cuts to pay and work rules.
This LOA is designed to retain pilots for a rebound, not minimize labor expenses for an airline shrinking in BK.
