United first displacement posted
Well the blood bath has started at United. Over 4,000 displacements on this bid. You can go to the United forum to see the thread. A friend sent a copy to me with the letter associated with it. It sounds really bad. Management tells them that they can basically tell from this bid what is going to happen in October unless things change significantly.

4457 total displacements. I'm a United pilot and its ugly. It will capture all of our post merger hires and some from both legacies.
Good luck to all. We might fly for different carriers, but when it comes down to it, we are first and foremost pilots.

If they wait to start the training then it could be less or more..Training creates a huge cost and takes months, so changing it would be undesirable and very costly. I could be wrong, but that is what I'm thinking..The same thing applies to Delta.
