The time to negotiate is when the amendable date is reached... If the economy and company is doing great when this date hits hopefully it works in our favor... But if the economy sucks... Who knows. What I do know is we have a TA on the table that isn't stellar but pretty solid for giving up 2 years... I think it's worth a Yes. You decide and vote...opens on the 5th.

When is the amendable date of the current contract? Why the speculation about everything tanking? How much will gas be then? It's $37 today. Everything I've read says its likely to be near this or lower in 6 months.

I think it's absolutely STELLAR. Industry leading. 18% above Delta. A serious chunk of change. And IF...I say IF the * hits the fan...like we all know it will eventually, I want to negotiate from the TA rates. If the * is normal...ok. Lets do Sect 6 in 2.5 years....from the TA rates.

I read yesterday gas is supposed to stabilize at $57-60 by this Summer... But who knows what it really will be. What makes you think company will want a quick negotiation to occur if the market is strong? My bet is if this TA fails we will be in prolonged negotiations... But who knows.

In your 16 years, how many times were there only three dominant airlines? (US based, domestic and international)
How many times have three airlines enjoyed not just profits, but record profits in the billions?
How many times has fuel been even close to this price?
How many times has the company not only approached the pilots for an agreement, but done so while insisting on a fast track and with a strict time lin
How many long haul international flights have been cancelled since the merger due to FAR 177 issues?
How many PDRs have been filed in the last two years?
How many times have pilots ratified substandard contracts while under duress due to bankruptcy or merger related SLI issues?
How many times have pilots said, "Keep your powder dry, we'll get 'em next time"

I'm taking it one step beyond. Will the company come back to the table in a reasonable timeframe? I'm putting my chips on the NO. My crystal ball says their plan B is to continue with current book and drag out section 6 to a 3+ year span. That's what I'd do as King.
Therefore, I'll vote accordingly. This corporation had a track record, beyond our years.

Ok, I don't see where I called anyone stupid in that post. And no "you can't fix stupid". Maybe some deep thinking is needed.

wow... did you come off of your meds????? you claim that you didn't call anyone stupid then post the direct quote calling everyone disagreeing you stupid and not deep thinkers.... let me guess... you got hired at United after they stopped the MMPI testing and one hour interview with the psychiatrist....
The original quote goes back to Ron White a comedian. Sorry you took it as a personal attack in a conversation that you hadn't been a party to but ??? - explains something.

It appears you try to bait and start an argument. The 570 were not Scabs but they are all senior to you. Sorry you can't accept that but then again you claimed the Tracy Ace's were Scab pilots - trying to hide something there? With your lack of knowledge of United history, I'm not surprised at your wild claims, maybe we should question your background. Sad,Sad,Sad........
