Hello,
There was a very helpful post on the ualmec web board on how a furloughed pilot could cash out their PDAP without penalty. Since mine has only about $4500 left I thought I would take it out and use it to live.
Can anyone PM me if they know how to do this or whom to contact?
Thx,

Why did they pull the plug on the UAL forum? Don't you still have access to the open forum side of the ALPA message board?

Right now there is no open forum of any kind. There are some platforms out there and I thought someone was working on a new forum outside the oversight and influence of the MEC, but I haven't heard anything about it lately.

hell, i'll set a ual message board, what are they going to do..... furlough me twice?
no seriously, with just 2-4 phone calls, im sure it can be setup- with quite the same structure as this, the lounges, and flifo-
we need to think of a good name for it though so i can run it by my people--- i think it can be done free or maybe for a small fee , like maybe $5 initally until it covers the majority of the costs, then free? thoughts, let me know?
Give me two things:
Name:
the cost will be shared and divided, then be free once the major stuff is paid for
what features are most important in the creating of the board? ( i think this might be cost effective-- more options, means more space, means more money)

Fear. Pure and simple. They have screwed this up so badly they just don't want the inevitable groundswell of calls for their collective heads. Has NOTHING to do with what they claim - that pilots will do "stupid" things like organize "sick-outs' and the like. Total baloney. They are simply afraid of the reaction of the pilots to the MEC and officers totally eliminating ANY leverage we MIGHT have had going into Section Six negotiations. Utter disaster and complete lack of leadership and oversight.
Right now there is no open forum of any kind. There are some platforms out there and I thought someone was working on a new forum outside the oversight and influence of the MEC, but I haven't heard anything about it lately.

Pardon me for saying so, but it sounds like the UAL MEC doesn't understand they are creating a worse problem for themselves by closing down the forum since they've now lost control of the situation. By keeping the UAL forum open, they'd at least have a shot at mitigating and observing any issues and problems. Now they won't have a clue as to what is happening under their nose. Stupid.
