Do you see what BB and I are talking about seajay? This has gone on for years.
People like this make your entire group look bad. The whole "bad apple spoiling the bunch" concept. It's hard to sift through the garbage and hear the 1 or 2 rational voices like yours.
BTW, these same people become attack dogs on your own pilots, whenever they voice an opinion that doesn't conform to theirs. Recently a poster, I think it was jetjok, was admonished and attacked for saying he was reconsidering his support of USAPA. Unbelievable...
For your convenience jetz, the latest ual pilot update. Your management is stalling to the end of the year, ual pilots will be furloughed again then.
"""MEC Negotiating Committee Update March 11, 2011
While the parties were able to reach Agreements in Principle (AIP) on Section 6 – Seniority and Section 10 – Moving at the end of last week, there were no direct negotiating meetings held this week.
Management is experiencing key personnel unavailability due to unforeseen family health issues that are affecting their ability to respond to our scheduling proposals from November 10. The JNC passed its comprehensive proposal to Management on December 15th.
The JNC continued work on turning AIP terms into contractual language. This is a required task to achieve a full Tentative Agreement for MEC and Pilot consideration.
As always, please stay connected to the process by reading updates from the MEC and your Local Council representatives.
From Pass Travel Committee Chair Captain Pat Palazzolo:
For UA employees wishing to pass ride on 70-seat regional jet United Express flights to and from CO hubs, United employees should list on EmployeeRES found on SkyNet. These flights feed CO hubs but have UA flight numbers as a result of the recent arbitration decision in ALPA's favor.
These particular United Express flights are not shown on Weblist but do appear in Continental's EmployeeRES with a UA flight number. The Company says UA employees listing on these flights through EmployeeRES will be subject to normal UAX boarding priority as if we had listed on WebList and pay our normal service charges -- which happen to be free in Economy class.
Below are examples of United Express flights out of CO's EWR hub to JAX. As you can see, they do not appear on Weblist but do appear in EmployeeRES. We have contacted the company about this process as we believe it is inappropriate, but in the interim, want to communicate how to access the employee benefit that we are due."""
