United cancels furloughs

[JimmyKool]

seriously.....I'm junior and it got canceled.

What are you going to fly? They can't park 100 airplanes and not furlough an employee. Unless the top 1000 decide to retire.

I knew Uncle Glenn was an industry leader! He bodly goes where no man has gone before!

This is probably the only way UAL management can convince the pilots to work this month.

I was told enough voluntary loa's. Don't know a lot of details yet, it just happened. Not the greatest news in the world but it at least buys me some time to find something else. I doubt it would be a permanent cancellation.

 

[hmmm]

Where was this seen?

From UAL Unimatic:

I would say with the 98 voluntary leaves requested for September, most of the already notified furloughees will get another month in this United paradise. Just a temporary delay, but if enough people continue to leave voluntarily, it should really help mitigate the total number of involuntary furloughs.

So, suing them didn't work?

If it weren't for all the great pilots flying over there- and what they've done for the industry- i'd love to see United tank at this point. Moreso than Frontier. I'd love it a lot more if i thought that their management wouldn't find a way to steal from it on it's way down.

Hope your furlough info is correct. Congrats- that's good news no matter how long it lasts.

Wave Flyer pretty f'd up wish to put on anyone however


Be real not canceled just delayed till a later date. All the 300's and not getting parked overnight. So they can work everyone over Thanksgiving and Christmas and then let everyone go. They don't have 950 guys who have applied for the LOA
