Fair enough.

Honestly, if this scenario has shown anything, its how **** poor pilot organizations are at being organizations. Little to no information designed for public dissemination on both sides. It'd be one thing if these items were still in early stages of discussion, but with United and SkyWest/Republic taking actions of their own, there really should be more official information available.

Best choice at the moment if you only have one year at SKW

Bit of an overreaction...unless they have nearly 1000 hours. GoJet's offer is quite good, if you don't mind working for GoJet and upgrading as soon as you have the time. The bonus is substantial and they offer pay longevity from your previous carrier.

Please don't lump the browns into the mess, next year is the year!

That wasn't because of a loophole. The MC at the time, Paul Whiteford, signed a side letter to the contract allowing the E-170. In return for that, he had a "handshake" deal from the company agreeing not to take the pension. Whiteford was an idiot. The company got their E-170 in writing, and then turned around and reneged on their handshake deal and dumped the pension anyway. Since that happened, the MEC voted to never allow a MC to sign anything with the company without full MEC approval.

UAL Flight Operations issued a Pilot Bulletin last week with new jumpseat priority tables for Mainline, United Express-Exclusive, Non-UAX-E with agreement, and Non-UAX-E without agreement flights.

The last two tables are identical to the jumpseat boarding priority previously used for all UAX flights. Nothing has changed for jumpseating on Skywest, Republic, Mesa, and GoJets flights.

The changes are only for UAL Mainline flights and UAX-E flights which are Air Wisconsin, CommutAir, ExpressJet, and Trans States.

He creates a positive-space listing and sits in the cabin. That's the same thing that happens when crew scheduling creates a deadhead for us.

We (UAL pilots) don't ride in the jumpseat when we're positive-space. We ride in the cabin and, if deadheading, in E+ seats, or better. If the company is unable to provide our contractually required seat then we sit in the gate area calling scheduling to repair our schedule while the airplane pushes back without us.

he biggest issue YX pilots have is the fact that an express jet dispatcher can bump us? That is not industry standard... like you all are saying. If United wants to put us below UAX exclusive.. fine, i’m okay with that. But we shouldn’t have a lower priority than a UAX exclusive dispatcher... no matter how rare that situation may be. That doesn’t happen at Delta or American

How many times have you seen a dispatcher jumpseat? So that is your reason to fall on the same sword as an organized ‘pilot advisory’ group? Whatever. I remember at XJT back in the day XJT mechanics went on before CAL pilots. It was a problem all of once in my 8 years there.

It's only on United metal and exclusive metal.
If YX pilots wanted to jump on SkyWest for example, the exclusive dispatcher would come after YX pilots.
