On the bright side, if UAL ever goes TU, you can go back to being a latex salesman.

Nobody cares about your pathetic problems, dude. Except you. Don't come on here looking for sympathy or trolling employees who've a lot more to lose than your entitled carcass.

Vote no and shaddup.

Do you realize how fortunate you are you have a union that negotiated a contract that allowed you to sit at home and get paid for doing nothing since April? Do you realize how fortunate you are to have a job in the midst of the biggest pandemic in the history of our country? You've even got your health (For now, fatboy) and your retirement. (For now, after the wheels really come off the economy you probably won't.)

Self-involved bloviating people like you are the reason I upgraded the moment I could. Mere words cannot express how much I detest somebody who doesn't recognize their good fortune, and doesn't understand that complaining about things they have no control over is toxic.

Not sure when you got to UAL or if you have been previously furloughed by this company. I have been furloughed by this company. I don't like this TA for numerous reasons, but here is my number one problem : Tiered Pay Groups (we are either a Union or not). This right here is a NO vote for me.

Been there and done that, but now you won’t since I am contributing 60k. They will furlough in 8 months, you can bet on it.

Unless you're in that group, you can likely forget about seeing anything in open time other than occasional crap. And that's IF there is any open time. Depending on BES you may either line your pockets or eat sand. The level of open time in my last seat was abysmal. It matters not what your pay rate is if you can only bring home X hours per month.

And correct me if I am wrong, but there will be guys bumped from the left seat to the right who will get to keep their Captains pay rate. They will likely be super senior in BES. They will be the ones slurpoing up the open time, and at Captains pay. And if the company is offering premium pay, they will be making more than the Captain. Nice work if you can get it. Eat sand if you can't.
