oh, don’t apologize for that… I get it… I also wouldn’t trade my career earnings at FedEx for any Legacy… But I’ve seen what they go through. I’ve also helped many legacy pilots get hired here. A year and a half ago, I did IOE for a guy who was at United for 10 years…there were some reasons he needed consistent health insurance…. He was tired of being on and off furlough.

i think your’re grossly, underestimating the risk at the Legacy’s and greatly overstating the risk here. I would advise for the 2028 contract you keeping good touch with your contemporaries of the Legacy’s and make sure that the grass was as green as you thought it was. Add that factor when you consider any subsequent TA

i thank your grossly, understanding the risk at the Legacy’s in greatly overstating the risk here.

Probably won't be a next time. Drive is in full force.

Jackal you didn't accept less than industry leading pay, SMU, AVA/Draft concessions, etc... in previous contracts to get your A-plan bump. That's your fault, don't expect the next generation to clean up your mess.

Wonder what your attitude will be when you hit your last contract. But yeah, screw everyone else but you.

I voted yes. What’s the pay on furlough? What’s the top out on the WB FO on furlough? What’s your 401 contribution during furlough? Call me a management pilot, which I’m not. I’m just a line dog but it’s coming here like it or not! 5800 pilots…about 5000 jobs…It’s the fall of 2019 plus 800 additional pilots and minus Covid-19. I see FURLOUGH on the way. Most of these recycled sewer rats on this forum have seniority and really don’t care about the junior pilots here. It will fail in my opinion, and get ready! Mgmt will blame everything on this vote and cut costs like we have never seen before. My guess is an attack on vacation. They will make a run on PBS and after peak along with a canceled MOU…..worth hundreds of millions. We will see cancelled or parked additional aircraft and my best guess is 200-400 furloughed pilots and that’s a low estimate.

Save this post for six months then make all the fun you want of me!….

22 years with the company and 17 years to go for those who want to attack me.

Ok Anthrax!
I see it’s Thursday night and you need your meds or a diaper change. This vote will fail and there will be consequences. July 24 at 10:00 am or after it will all be over and you can suck my binkey.

Get a life prick!

10 years UAL, hired here last year? So he was a 2012 UAL hire? There we no furloughs in that time frame.
