If it’s such a sweet deal then why don’t you leave UA and come back to the regionals.... someone will gladly take your place. It’s hardly unfair that we be placed above JetBlue, Southwest... etc when we make your company a stupid amount of money and they do nothing for you.

The fact that a United mainline guy got denied last night in DTW and this is before the actual change took place . Captains name is blasted , I am assuming will be handled accordingly .

Just trying to focus the dispute attention where it needs to be, for the industry’s sake. It shouldn’t be mainline guys fighting regional guys. It should be 40k mainline pilots fighting in the good times to take back what was taken in the bad times, with mutual support on that matter from ALPA, mainline pilots, and regional pilots. Never been a better time in history to take it back from a revenue, profit, and pilot supply standpoint.
You do realize that legacy UAL's contract was gutted in bankruptcy. Gutted under the threat of what the bankruptcy judge could do to us.
Taking it back sounds really nice but in actuality, it will take multiple contract cycles that will span careers to return what was taken. It's easy to get a pay raise in good times and we're still beneath C2000 rates. Placing the scope genie back in the bottle will be much more difficult. Pay rates are a stroke of the pen, scope is infrastructure. We're fighting scope at the moment and is a main reason our contract is past due.

From what I’ve been told long after all job offers, interviews, and CPP opportunities have been rescinded from these three carriers. Several buds at AA were very interested in the communication these three carriers put out and they are starting sit up and take notice as well.

Not quite sure of the economics, but it might be cheaper to bump a couple rev passengers than it is to delay/cancel a mainline flight due to the pilots unable to get to work.

No. That’s not what I meant. I wrote what I meant. You clearly don’t understand that dictating jumpseat priority to another carrier is not ok.

Mainline pilots each make $200-600k a year. May I suggest buying a discounted ticket to get to work? It’s a lot less stressful having a confirmed ticket. We all need to recognize the huge pay gap for the same responsibilities and give regional pilots a break when it involves jumpseat priorities over mainline. Both regional and mainline pilots need more respect for each other.
