Default New contract issue

I heard a rumor “dry time” is increasing to 12 hrs in the new contract.

Uh huh. I’m sure of that. 🙄

Bottle to throttle issues are regulated by the FOM and are not contractual.

Good point. Maybe I misunderstood and he meant/said the FOM.

I've found the problem with working for United is... unless you really bust your arse, you'll prolly just barely break 300K as a Guppy Cap. And your profit sharing is likely to come in at less than 30K. Sucks. But the kicker is that 16% direct company contribution to your 401K, which, combined with your personal contribution, always spills over into your Health Savings Account. This gives you a big phat tax free balance to pay your health care in retirement. Sucks.
