Rumor: What happened to the jet for jobs clause in our contract? I was under the impression that when we agreed to the 70 seat RJs, furloughed pilots would flow into the right seat at second year pay if the UA express carrier were hiring. During the first furlough in 2001 we had this provision. What has changed during this round of furloughs?
Truth: What you are referring to is LOA 03-22 “Job Opportunities for Furloughed United Pilots” which provides job opportunities based on deliveries of "qualifying aircraft" and is not a really a "flow back". As stated in an earlier Straight and Level, GoJet is the only Express carrier hiring pilots, and as of 3 August 2009 there have been three new hire classes at GoJet that have had furloughed United pilots hired under the terms LOA 03-22. The next available class at GoJet is scheduled for 8 September 2009 and will be filled based on FCOL preferences submitted as of 4 August 2009. Further information concerning LOA 03-22 is available on the "Jobs" page under the "Furlough" pull down on the MEC website. The other participating carriers are currently not hiring, Mesa and Shuttle America have both furloughed and SkyWest has offered SPLOA in an attempt to avoid furloughing. Both Shuttle America and SkyWest have continued to take delivery of qualifying aircraft since September 2008. We have met with the company at their request as prescribed under LOA 03-23 "Participating Carrier Meet and Discuss" concerning Shuttle America's and SkyWest's non-compliance and after several meetings we have come to an impasse. A grievance has been filed concerning the non-compliance under LOA 03-22 by the company as well as Shuttle America and SkyWest.
