We all love playing the proverbial shell game at the circus. What else do we want to give up so we can "live to fight another day"?

That is too funny (but not funny in a 'ha-ha' kind of way). When the airline I was working for after UAL was going down the tubes someone suggested that we, the pilots, buy the place. I told him that I owned an airline once and it didn't work out so well. He didn't get it.

It's still around 10,000 total pilots moving UAL pax around every day.

At least when you count the subcontractor rj sweatshop pilots.


Approximate:

36 EMB 170 republic/shuttle america
67 CRJ 2 skw
52 CRJ 7 skw
15 CRJ 7 gojet
7 EMB 145 chautaqua
65 EMB 145/CRJ 2 Mesa (mixed uax fleet could not find numbers)

At 4 crews per aircraft that's about 2,000 pilots.

El Capitan said it right. This is why the regional are becoming "career" locations for a lot of guys now, cause all the jobs at mainlines are going bye-bye. I for one don't want to stay here forever. I want to move on. And if mainline doesn't lock down on scope in these new negotiations, that opened today, then I'm never gonna have a place to move up to. And we're gonna see a lot of mainline guys back on the streets as the flying continues to get farmed out.

It was nice, yesterday, to commute into ORD on a true United regional flight. A 737. Very nice crew. Courteous and professional. Hat's off to you all

There isn't a leadership out there that can do anything different in this situation.
The court was not anti-UAL pilot. The judge applied the law PERFECTLY! These individuals broke the law. Get it? They screwed us all by being unbelievably arrogant!

Have you read the injunction? Have you read the summary opinion or the court order? Have you read the evidence entered into the case during the trial? If not, perhaps you should educate yourself a bit. I found it incredibly damning to ALPA. I could not put it down until I finished all 85 pages. Then I went on to read all the evidence. STRIKING!

ALPA is destroying airline pilot careers left and right. If you want an education, log on to Information: United Airlines - ALPA Lawsuit to read ALL the documents from the trial/hearings including the evidence and testimony submitted.

No, JetDaily. You're wrong.
Did you go to the trial? Did you hear the testimony? Did you hear the cross examination? Are you familiar with the events leading up to the lawsuit? Do you understand the timeline associated with the events? I could go on.
You look at the exhibits and you determine that the judge was absolutely correct?
STRIKING!
Who are you, really? Is this GT?

Might as well use that sick time while you can. UAL is run by criminals. What a joke.
