If you are not supportive of this LOA and feel that furloughs are just a career hazard, we ask you to consider if the entire pilot group would be better served long-term by ratifying this LOA. Are we stronger and more capable of defending our careers if we keep pilots in their pre-crisis seats? Does protecting all pilots on the seniority list and being ready for recovery position us better to complete Section 6 negotiations, or would it be better to pursue Section 6 negotiations with thousands of pilots on furlough?”
what will they say when in June 2021 United furloughs 2000.
Wife works for a large hospital on the business side. They aren’t even looking at seeing this come down to any normalization until 2022. That is with with a vaccine in 2021.
if you think any of those UAL metrics will be hit you are sorely mistaken. They company already said we will come out of this on the other side significantly smaller.
Call this what it is..Pilots paying salaries keeping furloughs for 8 months. Come June the company will furlough and you will still have your pay cut with low MPGs, lower LPAs to prevent picking up (unless you want to work for free)
oh and if you waited until you were a certain percent to bid a higher paying aircraft. Too bad seniority does not matter anymore. On reserve you go. Don’t like it well you can take the lower paying a/c and forgo the pay. So enjoy even more pay cut.
