In the past the UAL pilot group elected incompetent and dishonest people to represent them, then allowed them to sit on their pro-management hands for YEARS without much if any transparency or accountability.

The recalls are an unfortunate necessity. Our previous leaders were incapable of negotiating in our best interest and using leverage.

Will the UAL pilot group do what is necessary for the best TA possible? Time will tell. The future is in our hands, we could have an industry leading TA tomorrow if we choose, or we can continue to be Kirby’s friend and pick up premium time. Make no mistake, the consensus of the pilot group is responsible for the current mess.

We have nobody to blame but ourselves. We want to win the war but we refuse to fight any battles.
