Get all of YOUR aircraft in house and mix them with new 100 seaters they are about to order. ALPA UAL MEC goal for the next contract....

125 aircraft 88/100seat capacity flown by United seniority pilots FACT . Jet for Jobs TellAndy no dues H is dead

So say one stuck it out for 2-3 years longer at Mesa. A positive outcome might be favorable treatment by United, or we all get kicked to the curb?

Of course, all Mesa Ejet pilots will get hired by United if this happens. Lol.

This industry is too unpredictable to forecast 2 to 3 years out. One accident puts a regional is out of business. And, who would have predicted that Spirit would have the TA they have even 6 months ago?

My buddy who is at United says this isn’t going to happen without all Ejet flying coming back into the UAL banner over some transition period. That means Republic and SkyWest are sucking wind too if this happens. I don’t see it happening.

Whenever, unions and management try to do stuff like this, it usually works with the same effectiveness as the US Congress.

Really..
They have big connections, just like they have at Delta MEC?
I do have connections at UAL MEC as well. Very good connections I may add

Wake up and start networking brother and keep going to job fairs

BTW All but 18 you are correct
