I have advised United that our Collective Bargaining Agreement precludes the Company from entering into agreements with Lufthansa to assist it during a strike and that United pilots are not required to fly on wet leases with Lufthansa or to fly extra sections added in response to a labor dispute, or to fly up gauged aircraft designed to benefit from the dispute. We have also asked United to assist Lufthansa crew members stranded in the United States with transportation as result of the labor dispute, and we intend to directly assist Lufthansa crewmembers as well.
Nice to see UAL making an honest effort to support Lufthansa pilots.
