Not a big deal. Company attempting to alleviate surplus of pilots due to Boeing’s continued failures.
Very few Empty Lines being offered. I was going to bid for one, but not offered in my seat.
Don’t think it’s necessarily a silver lining for junior FOs though. Not likely much of a change for those that don’t get an Empty Line. You’ll see it when the LPAs for May are published early next month.
Few more COLAs being offered than empty lines, but not many overall.
The amount of copium in this thread is absolutely hysterical.
History repeats itself. UAL will hire right up until they furlough. This time is no different.
Also love that the blame is being placed on Boeing, when the real showstopper is that the FAA completely axed your ability to issue type ratings because the wheels are literally coming off your operation.
