5 pct of what? What was already years overdue? What was already paid for? Have you looked at some of the commuter pilot wages and bonuses lately? Hell, at the rate things are going I may decide to go back to airline flying and make MORE than I made at UAL! And while we're at it, why did the ToddSquad negotiate that some early outs get 3 yrs of partial pay while others only got 2? More division
within the pilot group, more BS. Your hero really knew how to divide and conquer!
A man much wiser than I said over and over, "they manage, we fly". IOW, it's not the union's job to right the ship when it's listing.
Please give my best to Todd. I really hope he enjoys flying the line! And I really hope he's on Reserve and getting multiple SC's and FSB's shoved up his cinnamon check valve.
Thanks for posting!
Here are some fun facts.....

"
Mr. Kirby owns over 28,491 units of United Airlines Inc stock worth over $12,438,936 and over the last 9 years he sold UAL stock worth over $2,019,786. In addition, he makes $16,779,500 as Chief Executive Officer and President of United Airlines at United Airlines"
https://skift.com/2022/06/23/the-hig...-airline-ceos/United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby followed up Bastian making $9.85 million in 2021. His pay, too, was almost entirely stock awards on his $1 million base salary. United posted a
$4.5 billion adjusted net loss during the year.
***If UAL was losing 4.5 BILLION that year, why didn't Scott and the upper echelon of UAL management take a pay hit? I will tell you why, they got the PILOTS and the rest of the worker bees to pay for it. Apparently this went right over your head.
A significant limiter of Kirby’s take home pay — as well as Bastian’s, and every other U.S. airline CEO — were compensation limits set by the federal CARES Act and payroll support program. The industry availed itself of the federal coronavirus relief during the depths of the pandemic through September 2021.
So while the PILOTS were taking it in the shorts and shooting themselves in BOTH feet, management was lining their pockets IN SPITE of covid.
