Thanks for spending the money!!!! The boys will pay for scope on this end....

That Whiteford guy sounds like he really knew how to stick it to the company! What else was he known for?

70 seaters (a/c of their TOGW specifically) in UA paint and the last tranche of the 01-03 furloughs so that the A plan could be preserved. That's all.

He stuck it somewhere to be sure.

UNITED AIRLINES REWRITE 2003 ALPA
Letter 03-25
International Deadhead
al October 23, 2003
Captain Paul R. Whiteford, Chairman
UAL-MEC Air Line Pilots Association
6400 Shafer Court Suite 700
Rosemont, IL 60018
Dear Paul,

This letter will confirm our agreement with respect to the transportation of pilots for International flying as defined in Section 22-D-1, dated May 9, 1991 and last revised on May 1, 2003.

Specifically, the parties agree as follows:
When a pilot is "overbooked" in Business Class per the Agreement, this means that such pilot will be boarded in Business Class and may not be downgraded to Coach/Economy class. In no
case will a pilot who is required to travel on an International assignment be required to do so in Coach/Economy class.If this accurately reflects our understanding, please sign and return two (2) copies for our files.

So, not only do we not have coach rest seats....(assinine and soon to be illegal by Pt. 117), but we don't even DH in coach. PERIOD. Damn, it's no wonder this contract took so long. But don't worry, I am sure we spent some good negotiating capital to bring you boys up to our standards. ;)

Sled

Ah so as you indicated the Feds saved us that leverage in the rest rule rewrite. But yeah lets tip our cap to that Whiteford fella. His vision is going to get help the company get industry leading outsourcing flexibility. Good show UAL ALPA!

Fred Abbott did it for him according urban legend. Probably true. Guess what I happen to dislike JP just as much as you do. The simple fact is both of our MEC's suck the same as ALPA National sucks. Neither side should have anyone bragging of accomplishments over the past 10 years. But what fun would that be when it gives us a chance to insult each other.
