ALPA sent out the notice tonight about the elimination of the 757 fleet. 50 seaters are not going to survive. Plan accordingly

Yeah, on days that previously had high numbers of travelers as well. It’s natural for there to be some ebb and flow, there were jumps of up to 25% last year too. Call me back when it routinely breaks more than 10% of what we were at a year ago and I’ll believe there’s some bona fide signs of life rather than normal day to day variation.

The company issued a NPDM is all that has been announced. It is a notice for proposed decision making that is required by the United pilots contract before they make big adjustments to fleet staffing levels. When they opened DEN and ORD 787 bases they issued these. All it does is provide notification that they are looking to make changes. Once they decide what they want to do, they announce their plan and then in good times it is followed by a vacancy bid, and in bad it is followed by a displacement bid. Since 50 seat flying doesn’t fall under our contract, I don’t know of any reporting requirement. As long as it complies with our scope language, they can expand or eliminate that flying with no notification requirement to United pilots.

ok now it’s obvious you don’t work for United.....either that or you can’t read. Nowhere in the email did it say anything about the 756 fleet being eliminated. You need to give it up. I’m pretty sure everyone on APC knows you for the troll that you are.

He does this on every thread, BTW. Delta, American, even GoJet.
