I personally won’t keep a crew and passengers waiting longer than needed just to hit an hour and minute goal. I’ll get there when I get there, ready to fly. Too bad UAL still has a timer for you to get there.
And none of this matters to a NK guy looking at furlough. I said “check the box” others say don’t, one had the best idea to just call and ask.
But ol UAL boy had to come on talking about how integrity is a UAL thing more than every other airline. What a joke.
Some of the replies from certain individuals don’t surprise me at all. It’s your career, do as you please, but I know for a fact that people have gotten permanently disqualified for integrity.
I also never said it’s important at UAL MORE than another airline, I said ESPECIALLY at UAL. You love to hate on UAL so much you start spouting out anything because you’re mad. Tap the brakes, man.
One last point. It’s 2.5 hour call out for SC. If they want us there sooner, they offer add pay along with paid short term parking, etc… but we don’t have to accept it. The company doesn’t get bent out of shape because of the contractual language because it’s.. contractual and we all agreed to play by the same rules. I personally don’t mind it. It’s been lucrative at times.To each their own. If you have a problem with it, don’t apply to UAL since you don’t like the contract language. Simple as that.
