I never said anything about mentoring or blaming probationary pilots. I’m just an average line pilot who offered my opinion. If you’re so enraged call your LEC who can get you an official answer based on rooted policy.
I honestly feel this agreement is partly a result of Neg Com pilots, who never fly the line, haven’t polled the pilot group in almost 4 years, have become accustomed to solving the company’s problems, make wild assumptions not based on reality, etc.
Regarding who cares more about the contract, gmab! Have you been reading these message boards? Countless posts about how they are nearing retirement but refuse to saddle us with an onerous agreement wasting our leverage. In my career at United I’ve personally witnessed senior pilots voting not in their best interest but aligning with the pilot 20 years junior.
