To ALL UNITED pilots courtesy of ALL UAX carriers and their pilots

Would the mainline pilots accept the same answer if the shoe was on the other foot?

Stand strong UAX pilots.....Unify and stand up to the mainline pilots....I will stand with you and support the war if they are so stupid to allow it to go so far......

Letter from MEC Jumpseat Committee, July 8, 2008

To: United Airlines Pilots

From: UALMEC Jumpseat Committee

[/U] We will request management to instruct our agents to not process them for a jumpseat or issue them an OMC card. Ultimately, the Captain has final authority on access to his or her jumpseat. Your MEC Officers have unanimously endorsed this course of action.[/B]

That's gonna leave a mark. There are a lot of gates with UAX flights and UA gate agents. Not so much with the reverse.

The fly is about to get swatted.

P.S. - Where the he!! are the people in Herndon? Shouldn't they be involved in this wildcat manuever by these UAX JS guys?

Now that's just beautiful! :laugh:

I'd imagine that they already are involved. Lots of things go on behind the scenes that the average pilot has no idea about. If it were me, I would start telling the UAX MECs that their OCF grants are going to get very hard to come by if they choose not to abide by ALPA jumpseat policy. When MEC Officers realize that their full-time buyouts are going to go away without OCF grants, they'll change their tune pretty quickly.

You really do live in your own world don't you? Why is it you think the UAL pilots control your JS? If UAL has the gate agents stop the processing of UAX pilots jumpseating on all united flights, then chances are that will cause the agents to not process UAX pilots on UAX flights as well. So in essence you will loose access to your own JS as well. The UAX captains can take the initiative to ensure the JS is properly assigned, go up and supervise the process. Good luck to you on this matter, all you have done is force the UAL pilots to do is defend theirselves on this issue and create a huge divide between pilots.

Trading one deadline and ultimatum for another. Don't pick a fight that you can't win, UAXers.

PCL stop acting like your the moral compass of this industry. With you're previous $uck ups it would NOT surprise me to hear that you crossed a picket line in the future.

I'm an ASA/DCI pilot....But I will stand with my fellow UAX pilots....At least they know how to come together....Something ALPA and Mainline pilots haven't figured out.....

Mainline pilots would never accept not having priority on their own aircraft....Why should the UAX pilots....If the shoe was on the other foot....the mainline pilots would be whining more than a Garrett....

I'm not sure I'm following you. As far as I know, all the agents in those domiciles use United owned computer terminals and links.

If UAL locks out UAX employees in CASS, no gate agent will be able to let a UAX employee on, even on their own plane. Even if I'm wrong about a couple of gates, the station will pretty much be shut to you.

I said yesterday that this would happen. I don't have any sources, I just know how pi$$ed people are.

Seems like UALPA is spending more effort to lock the UAX pilots out then to fix the problem........

How dare the "little people" stand up for themselves.....
