For a 30 year old at United, this is the difference between tens of thousands of dollars over the course of a career.
Yes, you’ve cracked the scam. But here’s what I can do for you:
For the sake of illustration, let’s assume a total value of 40% in wages & QOL improvements from a new UPA. Once the contract goes into effect, send me 40% of every paycheck you earn. I will in turn refund to you every penny of the 1.2% of that amount (minus a nominal convenience fee) taken by the union. To be clear, you’ll be receiving your
full current compensation
plus the increase in dues lost due to a new contract!!! Like you said, over a course of a decades long career, this could total
tens of thousands of dollars!!! Best of all, this deal is completely legal!
For a limited time only, this offer is being made available to
all United pilots. Work smarter, not harder, guys…
