Any new rumors about the AWAC situation?

Dude here's a dollar buy a clue. You need to learn the history of the subject before you start talking. Awac was already squeezed by united along with the other UAX carriers. This happened last year, AWAC rebid it's contract along with all the other carriers and gave uniTED BIG savings. AWAC pilots have already given the company BIG consessions. I'm not blaming ALPA for this. This is all United managment, but ALPA is a poor excuse for a union. They are a waste of 2% of my pay.

That's good benefit form ALPA's economic and financial analysis office. HA They did a great job telling us we needed those consessions last year, then the company makes 80 million the next year. Yeah ALPA did a great job.

UAL is seeking further paycuts from their own pilots. Quit with the ALPA conspiracy theory already. I don't think UAL managment needed ALPA to come up with the idea of hammering AWAC. They've already squeezed the other UAX carriers with the help of the McBain group. This is just another costcutting measure - no more and no less. It's not ALPA's job to negotiate codeshares between airlines, only to assist in negotiations between pilot groups and managment. Should AWAC managment pursue consessions the AWAC pilots will have the benefit of ALPA's Economic and Financial Analysis office.
