Leaving because we’re going through a power shift within our union seems a little short sighted to me. UAL isn’t the gold standard, and it isn’t the bottom either. It is just another legacy, so if it isn’t a fit for someone, I’d encourage them to find a company where they’d be happy.
There's no way United will get a contract that's close to Delta. The Tumi TA was concessionary and yet the union thought that was great. How will they negotiate themselves back square one and then leap forward to be on par with the current Delta work rules not to mention the new Delta AIP? United is at least 2 contract cycles behind.
