IF the "F" word was to rear it's ugly head, I would hope the union would do something about it. I remember after 9/11, AirTran pilots got together and told the company they would take a hit as far as guarantee, just so no one got furloughed!!!!(Something like that)
One would think with the strong "union" presence at UAL, they would at least look into something like that.?
And it does sound like everyone is working their butts off. People laugh when I say I will be on "reserve" for awhile!!!. Yeah reserve, but working ALL THE TIME!!!
