For all you newbies and those who think they know it all, welcome to the real airline business!
Historically the airlines hire to the day they furlough. 1968, 1979, 90s 2000s and now 2019. Hmmm, there's a pattern here about every ten years the same thing happens.
Now for you stock by-back experts, do you really think it was about "propping up" the price? There is so much going on with insiders in the financial industry it would make your SOP driven eyes spin and water. While it may not seem moral it is legal.
I hope this class cancellation is only temporary, but if I were near the bottom it's probably time to make sure one's financial house is in order. And don't burn your bridges.

The 570 are not examples of a reduction in flying and subsequent furlough.

Agree. If they promised something, you can’t remove that offer 3 days prior to the start date and expect to be viewed as professionals. If they need to furlough them a week later, so be it. But at least stand behind what you have offered as a professional organization. If the offer was a month out, that would be a different story. I hope united will change their decision on this.

Plus, 3 days is no notice, but some of those people may be able to get their jobs back vs
a week into class and they've filled your position or it's simply been too long.

why don’t they postpone the new uniforms officially and save that money to hire these guys for even a few weeks and if things continue their present trajectory then furlough them at least they will be able to collect unemployment. As of now if they quit they are sol.
I was impressed at management for what they did for the new hires widow from the atlas crash. I dare them to perform at the same humanitarian standard!
