So while everyone is furloughing, shrinking, and retiring widebody fleets, we vote in a deal to keep all pilots on property, take deliveries of new widebodies, and poise ourselves to gain newly abandoned markets and become the largest airline in the world. That makes us the new Mesa? If you are so short-sighted that you can't see beyond the INITIAL and TEMPORARY MPG reductions, then I dont know what to tell you.

This LOA will allow United a chance to come out better on the other side. Worst case, it will expire in 9 months and back to normal book and furloughs. And all for a few less hours worked for a while. It’s worth the gamble!
I’m so glad our junior pilots will have a few more months of mortgage payments to plan for the future. Best of luck to us all.

You are in for a very rude awakening. I figure it'll take about 9 months to set in when United furloughs 2007 pilots that your agreement left exposed. Meanwhile, the reduced hours will continue for what, another 17 months?

Reduced guarantee based on block hours as a percent of 2019. No furloughs until June, at which point they can still furlough 2000 pilots and we retain the reduced guarantee (for up to two years total).
