UAL has a 20% pilot labor savings cost relative to its peers (moving as fast as ALPA will let them) and there’s a large percentage of pilots drinking the Koolaid. We have hundreds of new LCPs who will solve the training bottleneck (“thank you for your service”).
And you ask if we’re close? Something tells me you haven’t seen this movie before.
My guess is as the summer progresses, guys like you will wake up to the reality of what UA is pedaling and make a very personal, independent, and measured decision about how to engage with UA.
