Seems like the 175 was a bait and switch, now there gonna run the same play again.

Does OO operate any 145s?

Highly doubt UA said this directly this to XJT, and C5 that this will be the only play to secure future flying. From a union perspective undercutting the industry is not the way to go at all regardless of the situation.

XJT management since giving up the 175’s and recently saying they are unable to come up with the assets and a long term commitment from UA to secure Cares ACT portion of Loans around 67 million, this is the only play they have. Show UA we got all segments of Labor to reduce cost by 20-40%. It’s a joke and I’m an absolute no voter, I rather find something else than be some where with no future and barely any income.

It truly is an embarrassment.

Hear, hear. One of my many mistakes in life.

They should send them a photo of the PQI Crash and be done with the conversation.

They do not.

Please, PLEASE do not accept concessions. SK does this at every airline he’s ever worked at. He pits labor against labor out of fear for their jobs, and has little to no regard for the human element. I’d rather go work a job I hate until recovery happens than see the industry take six steps back in the gains it has made. This is bigger than a furlough, please understand that.

respectfully, fellow out of work RJ pilot..
