no dogma etc

United had almost 1000 aircraft fleet prior to 9/11 and by 2010 had 425
Think about how many jobs were lost
Wasn’t it Whiteferg who said something along the lines of “bring on the RJs it won’t affect me”?

That was my input to my LEC rep. I'm open for a new approach, but the reality is that anything seen as a concession will be a poison pill. If it's not crystal clear, and needs to be explained (ie sold) then it's going to be seen as a concession.

Appreciate the sentiment but United was never that big. Lets look at the actual numbers.

Per the annual reports:

end of year 2000, UAL had 604 aircraft in its fleet.

end of year 2009 it was 360,

end of year 2008 of 409.

1) At a minimum but acceptable to me: No changes in Scope
2) Improvements in reserve
3) Significant pay raise
4) Some other improvements particularly non-taxable ones.

"Red line" hahaha now that's funny. Same language used by the MEC just before the company stole our pensions. There is NO red line so stop that nonsensical talk.

Bull**** and you know it. What stopped the company from adding additional 76 seaters?

It was just two short years ago that we saw 76 seaters parked at mainline gates while mainline was sending out WARN letters. You forgot about that already?
Cute but this isn’t 20 years ago. You are stuck in the past.

Did you miss the part about two short years ago? Your blind eye won't benefit you.
