FYI:
All-Pilot Conference Call Postponed to Jan. 4 due to IROP

 

Till Jan 4 well that tears it. A little something I'd like to dedicate to management the reason may be different but the message is the same. Peace out!!

Jan 4 is the date of the mechanics’ vote, I believe.

 

So, they'll have everyone turn in their 2 week notices on Jan. 5 instead of Dec, 19. Should keep the airline afloat through Christmas and New Years though.

 

If anything earth shattering was going to be said they would put out a statement atleast. If something truly positive that they felt was going to stop the stampede for the door was coming out it would be in the news. Once again whole lot of something about nothing at all.

 

No way such a purchase by United would be announced by us on a pilot conference call. That’s a major press release United and SkyWest would put out simultaneously.

Lot’s of financial regulations around this kind of thing. It needs to be made public in a more accessible manner to investors than an internal company call.

 

Those cheeky bastards....

 

The only news are the bonuses. That’s it, full stop. If you’re desperate for beer money, you will stay. Otherwise, expect more of the same

 

Although I do believe a flowthrough by United is needed to have stability at their feeds especially for the future, a buyout by them doesn't guarantee they will give a flow through... There is a chance they may just keep the CPP as is for awhile. If you are planning on leaving soon or have class dates setup at Envoy or other regionals make sure there is a flow announced with the buyout before cancelling that class date.... if they decide to keep CPP in place then nothing really changes as far as your chances of getting to UAL, then at that point you shall continue to get to that class at Envoy. I think most people believe an automatic buyout means you are getting a flow or Ual seniority number. If an announcement comes soon, make sure you know the details first before any decision is made on leaving or not. I just wanted to get that out there because I keep seeing everyone say something must happen soon before the exodus starts,(which i agree with) but if they decide to keep the CPP as is then that really does nothing to help keep the pilots from leaving. If I was a junior FO, I would leave still if they bought XJT and just kept CPP in place. Id be at AA in 5yrs if I went to Envoy or maybe less the way AA is retiring in the future. Just a thought.....but i do believe the times have changed and a flow is needed, but what United will do is anyones guess!! lol

 

Why envoy? Endeavor seems like the better bet
