One more thing I thought of as a follow on to my original answer. UA and DL learned to manage the members expectations better than the east MEC did. No one is making "pie in the sky" promises. We are being VERY upfront especially with regard to furloughs for the most junior and pensions for the most senior. The priority being to get the furloughs back asap without disillusioning them into thinking they will jump ahead of pilots currently employed. The other priority is clearly stating that the pensions at UAL are gone for good, but we have an opportunity to extract maximum benefit from the company in pay and work rules right now. Keeping expectations in check is HUGE in keeping everyone focused and unified.What did UAL, CAL, DL, NWA, the cornerstone airlines learn from USAirways, AWA TA sir?
