the mia is a little more but I thought there was supposed to be more united flying over the summer also. many are saying it is because of contract negotioations also

We are already canceling flights due to lack of crew (CAs). I wonder how bad it will be in July. $5 says this comes back to bite us.

their such morons! i'm a downgraded captain flying in the right seat. day two of my four day, my captain gets pulled off our pairing for a "re-route" to richmond because we are short on captain. they cancel the flight we were supposed to do. do you know how frustrating that is? i know the union can't say or advertise not to pick up open time, but we need to send these idiots a message. i really hope for the sake of the whole pilot group that nobody picks up open time. of course this will lead to lots of JAing, but atleast then they'll have to pay us premium. this is ridiculous.

Open time? We have open time? Thats odd... ever since i heard an announcement of downgrades, my memory has been slipping, and i can't seem to recall how to open FLICA and pick any of it up...oh shucks, i guess i'll just let scheduling do as they wish to me...let them build me an efficient schedule, as opposed to building one myself.

it's funny how as a negotiating tactic, the company can furlough and downgrade, but the pilot group can't slow down and not pick up open time because that's illegal.

YAY RLA!!!!

Not illegal according to RLA, unless TSA in contract talks. If in talks, no one (including company) are allowed to change "status quo".
