United Airlines and Continental Airlines Jumpseat Priority Agreement

[pipejockey]

I'm done subsidizing the regional's bank roll,

What does that mean?

 

[Mr.B]

I just want reciprocity. I'm reading how many here have no problem with offering priority to pilots based on the equipment their company flies - whether or not they are direct partner carriers. I can hear the screaming now if my company gave priority to all other Star Alliance regional pilots over the mainline pilots flying the same color airplanes as us.

Then again, I guess this is what we deserve for our $80 million down payment on UAL.

80 mil HAHA!

You just chipped in for your own existence. And UAL will gladly pocket any cash they can.

Down payment. Thats rich.

ALPA is a self-serving, insider politics machine that only takes care of UAL and DAL. As a long time USAir pilot, I think it is just a matter of time before this corrupt organization implodes. Their merger policy was a joke and they let Segal take our pensions away. It doesn't surprise me ALPA will let scabs back in the union- heck, they even have a scab at the top of the heap!
USAPA is just the start- we are waiting for the UAL and DAL guys to catch on and join us with their own unions!

Please explain to me how ALPA "takes care of UAL. Are you kidding me, have you looked at our working conditions over hear? You are correct about ALPA gatting ready to implode. They will become the union of the RJ. I look forward to the opportunity to vote them out of here.

I personally would like to see us join up with AA, US, SW, DL ect and form a seperate union from ALPA.

I think we are all (UAL,CAL,DAL) one major defection away from seeing ALPA largely dismantled. When you speak to ALPA Nat guys they dismiss the entire idea but I wonder how often they've listened to the sentiment of the average line crew. It's not good, not good at all.

Please show me where this was initated by the UAL MEC.

Did you not read the first post that started this thread?

"The UALMEC has directed your Jumpseat Committee to seek an agreement with the Continental Jumpseat Committee whereby each carrier would grant a higher jumpseat boarding priority to each group of pilots. Your Jumpseat committee has obtained this agreement and will become effective on October 28,2009. "

At the same time, an ancillary glance at the landscape would reveal that the most envied pilot contracts at present have been negotiated by independent unions. SWA pilots are prospering, AA pilots have managed to maintain reasonable QOL despite their companies earnings.

True, but FedEx is ALPA, and that CBA is nothing to laugh at, relative to the ENTIRE airline landscape.

As far as legacies go, DAL is top of the pile.
