Before awarding this contract United wants a TSA contract completeted with the pilots. TSA MEC wants single pilot list. Company doesn't want this to happen. No pilot contract, no flying contract. You guys wait in the mean time.

Why would UAL award flying to a company whose pilots have already voted to authorize a strike?
(I do realize we're talking about UAL here and nothing they do makes sense anyways)

Are you guys serious? Do you honestly think United even remotely cares about tsa pilots? Hulas has provided cheap and relatively reliable CRJ700 and ERJ service. That's all they care about, not the pilots. Especially in this economy.

They don't care about the pilots. They do, however, care about the impact a strike at one of their feeders would have on their revenue income. So, the rumor that UAL wants a contract secured before awarding flying to TSA seems like a believable rumor. I don't believe it but no one cares what I think.

Of course UAL thinks about it when making their decision, but I imagine management will be spinning things in a positive direction in their talks with UAL. They'll say that talks are finally making some significant progress and they think a TA is right around the corner. Management wants this flying as much as we do so they'll say what they have to. UAL is not stupid enough to think we could come to any kind of agreement by the time the flying is awarded so that rumor is just silly.
