UAL wants to change jumpseating to ID90

[JoeMerchant]

I agree. However, the UAX pilots used vinegar in this past spring, not honey. The UAL pilots may very well be the path for resolution for the UAX pilots... Desite the fact that the UAL pilots really have nothing to do with this. That is why is it good form and politics to create alliances and friends.

Hey Rez....the vinegar worked....The policy was changed when the UAX pilots banded together...That pi$$es you off for 2 reasons:

1. It was done outside of ALPA by UAX pilots who were ALPA, Teamsters, and non-union...It was more unity than I have ever seen amongst ALPA groups.

2. It was lowly regional pilots standing up to the mainline pilots...something that just isn't acceptable within ALPA.

You would know absolutely NOTHING about unity! You and your group of rjdc scumbags are the epitimy of selfish

Looks like you need glasses then!

What's that, right out of the rjdc playbook?:laugh:

Recall, the spring 09 issue was a software glich in apollo. The UAL pilots had no obligation whatsoever to do anything other than a professional courtesy and belonging to the same union.

The commonality between these two jumpseat issues and the RJDC is the lack of political skills of the UAX pilots and RJDC tools to forge long term relationships with fellow pilot groups.... Therefore, management knows how to write the scripts and watch the players act on cue....

The last UAL jumpseat issue is remarkably similar to this one. A glitch or change of policy drastically alters the benefits of the UAX pilots while having no impact on the UAL pilot. UAX pilots repeatedly request assistance from the UAL pilots with the only feedback being "we have no obligation to you". UAX pilot go nuclear and start to effect UAL pilots ability to get to work and now it becomes enough of an issue for the UAL pilots to act on.

Hopefully, the UAX pilots don't have to go nuclear again.

 

[Poahi]

So what would you expects UAL pilots to do for y'all? Strike?

It sounds like they are suggesting they find a different way to get to work.

 

[Beantown]

So, is the new policy going to effect off-line JS'ers like the origional post said?

Epitome.

Typo. Thanks.
That's ok, tomorrow I'll learn how to spell. He'll be an *********************************** forever!

UAX Pilots and Pass Charges
United Airlines and all UAX managements have signed an agreement whereby all UAX employees that occupy a cabin seat on any UAX flight will be charged an associated fee. It is also expected, but not written in this agreement, that UAX pilots would also be charged for a seat while traveling under the provisions of unlimited jumpseat travel on their own carrier, as well as other UAX flights.

Needless to say, the UAX pilots are outraged with this agreement. The UAL-MEC Jumpseat Committee is also in agreement that there be no charges levied for a jumpseat, flight deck or cabin. UAX pilots jumpseat agreements allow for unlimited jumpseats to all offline carriers as well as their own pilots. We fully support these UAX carriers in their efforts to exercise their agreements to their fullest .However, we cannot negotiate on their behalf, nor can we represent them in discussions with their respective managements. We will do everything we can to support these UAX pilots with their endeavors.

With this new policy being implemented, there may be some disgruntled UAX pilots who will accuse the UAL-MEC Jumpseat Committee and UA flight ops of being responsible for this policy change. Flights ops and your Jumpseat Committee are in no way responsible for its content. If you jumpseat on a UAX flight, you may encounter a UAX pilot who that may want to deny you a jumpseat. We have not seen any correspondence from the UAX jumpseat chairpersons that they would deny our pilots a jumpseat because of this new policy. Therefore, these pilots may be acting on their own behalf. Should you encounter a denial as a result of this policy change, we ask that you contact the Jumpseat Committee as soon as possible. We will not tolerate this conduct and will make the UAX Jumpseat Committee chairs aware of this immediately.

Where United Airlines and the UAX managements have entered into this agreement, it is incumbent upon the UAX pilot groups to confront their managements with these policy changes and correct them as appropriate. Your Jumpseat Committee will offer any assistance it can to the UAX committee chairs in getting this policy, as it pertains to jumpseating, reversed.

So as Beantown asked, does the above confirm the charges are applicable only to UAX pilots and not other OAL pilots?

Thanks for any further clarification!
