It’s entertaining, you play yourself off as just bringing a positive outlook to the United threads, but you’re actually a rhapsody blue kool-aid drinking management shill. That’s why you get nasty real quick when someone starts posting anything negative about United.
Well the outsiders are going off what is said on these boards which is usually a small, fractious piece of the pilot group. We don't get reassigned nearly as much as American or delta but if you are bidding certain seats in certain bases it can seem more common.

I love this. These Delta drivers haven’t been quite accurate in the past but lately with regards to our NC and ask…spot on. We are going nowhere fast. Keep up the banter and calling out our TA 1.0 yes voters.

That was like 6% and probably all deadzoners. I doubt anyone on this forum that is routinely here voted yes.

There was also one in 2018. I believe there were others, but I'm too lazy to do an email search.

Not shocking at all with those two.

I’m just impressed the Delta guys care enough about another airline to be picking forum fights with our guys about reserve rules. Brave new world.

Our global domiciles have more than 2 hard days off a month BTW… the reserve rules aren’t good comparatively and need improvement, but to call our reserve rules “slave labor” as a DL guy did a few pages ago is an incorrect representation of a few different things…

You're right, global pilots get a whole 6 hard days off a month they can plan their lives with.

I don’t have a single global friend who says it’s as bad as the message boards make it out to be but, as previously stated, it still needs improvement. But that doesn’t warrant calling it “slave labor.”

We’re far too proud of that statistic, IMO. The original TA had many supporters in its early days who advocated for a “take what we can now & get the rest next time” approach.

The AA offer was the first big turning point that illustrated to many people how badly we had undervalued ourselves in negotiations. By the time we actually voted on TUMI many months later, the company had explicitly stated they were going to improve their offer, so the vote was little more than a procedural matter to put us back at the negotiating table- with both sides essentially endorsing a no vote. The TA would very likely have still failed absent that assurance from management, but I don’t think the no vote would have been anywhere near 90%.
