It’s as simple as that, black and white. United posted a $1.1 BILLION dollar profit in Q2 alone. It’s time to say FUPM. Keep up the good work XJT MEC.
Diggler is spot on. I love when guys brand new to this industry think they know it all. I'm proud to have our MEC finally speaking the truth, calling out the B.S. and trying to improve our contract that is lagging in countless ways. Keep it up XJT MEC!

Unprofessional tactics? This union/company relations in aviation are a barroom brawl, not a fencing tournament. And management has a very large friend in the corner in the form of the RLA. Hit when you can as hard as you can.
Well maybe this time we can hold off on signing anything until deal IS done

Were you even on property when this deal was negotiated, voted on, and signed?

No. And I’ve been up front about that.

So you’re probably not even off probation yet and you’re complaining that pilots who have been there for years trying to find leverage might mildly inconvenience you for a few months?

So maybe before you talk such a tough game, learn some history. You probably wouldn't be on property right now if that deal hadn't gone down. For better or worse, it was the deal that had to be done at the time. I was a reluctant yes voter, my first yes vote. We did it it to get rid of skywest, our only shot at survival.

No you aren't. You're a junior reserve captain that sucks major amounts of cool-aid. You've been in the crew room endlessly complaining about the union emails pushing new hires away. You don't speak for the pilot group. Period.

BA.

This isn't a new hire. He's a junior reserve captain that wants people behind him to improve his QOL. He constantly complains about the union e-mails in the crew room because it's pushing new hires away. He has an agenda and much of it comes back to him. Typical pilot.

Junior reserve captain would have been here for the last vote??

Regardless what anyone thinks of me, the argument falls on deaf ears. New hires have friends at the airline and they all tell them these Union emails are BS. So really at the end of the day the emails are so radical they only serve to divide the pilot group.
