Default Raise with LOA expiring soon?

If the pandemic LOA expires before the 5% pay raise is triggered, do we lose it forever?

I need it to pay for gas in my truck….

the sad part is that 5% that seemed like a nice bump 1.5 year ago doesn't do too much now.

Are we getting close to the raise at all? I’m far too lazy to figure this out on my own.

I’m sure they’ll come up with another LOA that 51% will jump at.

I'm afraid that even if they put out a new deal or loa, it will be underhwelming. It's not like they are having trouble hiring pilots or growing the operation. Other airlines are in similar spot with delayed contract negotiations and using covid as a cover for not paying us more.

Did you at least understand it when you voted on it? The number of strong opinions from those that didn't even read it is astounding (not op but in general.) A big problem at our airline is a small but very vocal amount of old timers who think being ornery is equivalent to being intelligent. It is spelled out in content locker.

This..
The SAD part is the amount of fellow pilots who don't even know what they voted on. Oh well.. is what it is.

While it's terrfic to see all the new hires coming in at record numbers, it all poses a bit of an issue when it comes contract talks. Many of our new folks are coming from regionals where the pay wasn't the best and qol was marginal at best. Now they get to united in a short amount of time compared to years past and are all starry eyed and excited, which is great.

However they might not feel the need for getting the best (highest) pay that we deserve. Getting to UAL for many people is "good enough" when it comes to career prospects and may not realize what us pilots can miss out on.
