continue to collect to monthly fee they charge to be a member......

LOL!! Those guys have got to be going through total withdrawals right now due to no chance of gaming the system anymore! Party is OVER!

I like seeing common sense posts from authors who we don't usually see a lot from!
More validity from you (Aquaticus/July 2014) that from someone who just created an account in Apr...
Just saying.


Exactly!
SK is a gambler.. it's a known fact (base on an interview he gave last year. About going to Vegas, being thrown out of a casino for card counting [supposedly].. lol).
They had a plan for May based on the world starting to reopen.
They had a plan to try and lower labor costs by ESLR/No Fly Line.
Things changed.
They decided to change the utilization of the fleets.

So they (temporarily) are parking the 756 fleet for a month.
They ACTUALLY did the right thing by fixing the pay for everyone affected by the change in direction.
They could have just as easily flown a handful of routes on the fleet and kept thousands of pilots on the hook.

For once, the 756 fleet is actually getting a good deal.

Think about that for a second. Take off the hatred glasses and realize the sun continues to shine and every day we get one day closer to a cure, a vaccine, re-opening of the World/Economy and some sense of new normal.

The alliance situation is a key point to consider. Although one can’t say our Star partners are by any means healthy (even LH is badly, badly mired down) we are MUCH less reliant on Star than Delta is on Skyteam. UAL could be much better positioned to provide reliable international service as things recover simply because we keep so much flying in house.

Made my day. Humor is a way better tool than fear and panic.

Just to clarify, the court said they had to pick up opentime, but they cannot actually force individuals to pick up opentime. More of a symbolic gesture than anything. That said I wouldn’t advocate job actions or anything else nefarious on an only somewhat anonymous forum.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not ****ed. I've been cautiously optimistic about Munoz. I had hopes he might be different. When the chips are down is when you find out a person's true colors. It's easy to be sunshine and roses when times are good. Between the lack of a contract for the past 1+ years and the way they handled the '67 groundings, he has shown me he is no different than any other airline CEO I've worked under. It's crystal clear to me what type of management we are working with. Not ****ed at all, I just know the game.

I don't come to this forum much, but I thought you were a pre-9/11 L-UAL hire. It surprises me that you don't understand the games that the company is playing.

Anywho, it's too nice of a day to look at screens any longer. Enjoy your afternoon. Cheers.

You pick your battles and at this moment the last thing the company will want to is go nuclear over this by taking ALPA to court. Plus, there will be plenty of SC and FSB to cover the last minute OT scraps as we move forward. Even Carlsen admitted that a lot of the PP the crew desk has been generating was due to scheduler error.

no I’m not but had family at United over 9/11. I’m aware of the games but I don’t see one chess move and blow a gasket.

Just curious about this comment. What would
you say has been a bad deal for our fleet besides 767-300 pay and meh rest facilities?

For the most part I see this fleet as a gem. Very easy, some might say boring domestic trips, unrivaled European destinations out of EWR and incredibly satisfying airplane to fly as well.

I truly hope this is not the end of the road for this fleet. I have truly enjoyed my time on her and all the places she’s taken me.
