This post reminded me of all of the grace that has been extended to me in the many different countries I have been blessed to visit. So many times I have butchered another language but the people were so tolerant and patient.

Thank you for this post.

Word on the street is that Shelia Jackson Lee called Kirby up a few weeks back and told him that he was going to restore the full time ramp and agents back to full time status (which he did ) while United is using the Fed bailout money.

Do you specifically think that he said pilot furloughs can be avoided with reduced hours? Based on what? A conference call? Was that call really focused on pilots?

If so, why did UCH just complete a 5000 pilot surplus that cleared close to 4000 pilots from their "needed" roster? There is already substantial action already in place implementing their training plan. They REALLY are implementing it. Will it go that far? Demand will determine that. Pilot concessions won't.
