And you keep thinking I’m alone in my thoughts. The Union says we should stand united. What I’m doing is saying that yes, you are getting under my skin. I know for certain I’m not alone and as new hires begin to represent a larger percentage of the pilot group the sentiment will grow. Let’s call it a grass roots effort to demand more professionalism. Say what you want. I’m just pointing out a clear divide.

Yeah there you go. See that’s the attitude. The ones who know better. The ones with all the wisdom. The ones who are smarter than us. The ones who haven’t been able to muster up a job in the biggest hiring boom in 40 years. The ones who deserve more. The ones who are going to tell us what’s good for us.

The Envoy/PSA/Piedmont flow is a defined thing. When you're number comes, you go. It's that simple. It's not a 12% success rate of all employees that were on property at the time the CPP was implemented. The Delta program has/had a 50% or better success rate. I'm no mathematician but 50% > 12%. Plus upgrade at Envoy is as soon as you get 1,000 121 time. Not so much at Expressjet.
I hope United gets things in gear but there's no real sign of that right now. There's a lot of people at this company that would love to hear some good news and would like to be a working partner with United instead of being treated like a third rate contractor with no career progression and stability.
I will agree that the Ultra senior ASA lifers here are a huge drain on the place and it would be extremely sad if they drag us down the tubes. There's a reason why Delta didn't hire many of them...

Let's wakeup guys!! There will be NO FLOW! There is zero interest in staffing the feed at this time. There are 2 things and only 2 things that matter to United Airlines. PROFIT/MONEY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO SHAREHOLDERS!
Last quarter United had a profit of $1.1Billion with a B! United doesn't care about the QOL of their regional feed, they don't care if their feed has to cancel a MAF, TUL overnights at 21:00 due to no crew. This all has been happening for a long time now and still posted $1.1B in 1 quarter! Customers will continue to swipe those credit cards to fly Ual and as long as they continue to keep doing so and profiting $1.1B a quarter then nothing will change, especially at the regional level. That is just reality. To sit around and say "a flow has to be coming" or "they have to do something to staff this place" is just being naive. Your goal should be to get to a better place, which may be a Legacy, LCC's or wherever is best for you and your family.
Sorry to be a dose of reality, but it needs to be heard!
