United Furloughs 290 More Pilots...

[20sx]

I think he was asking to confirm that this was not incremental to what the UAL pilots had already known. Take a chill pill dude...

I agree, I didn't read anything malicious into the General's comment.

To the best of my knowledge voluntary furloughs received no incentive money.

He may have been referring to the guys that were on Military leave, took the recall, and then got paid not to show up to class because they were going to get furloughed anyways. I know at least one guy that did this...got a couple months pay out of United even though he had no intention of ever coming back from his cushy ART job.

United furloughs its own pilots while adding Denver routes with RJ's.

Gotta love that.

Gup

No **ite, and UAL pilots stand by and let their brothers get booted out the door. As long as its not them right....?

Im just waiting for Southwest, Virgin, Aer Lingus to start hiring so I can help put them out of business

I guess I could have stated my first post a little clearer, but I in no way would ever make fun of any furloughed pilots. I was just trying to ask if this announcement was a NEW announcement for additional furloughs. And then I wished them good luck.

Really General? Well, if you say so, it must be true.......

You must be a different General than the guy I'm thinking of. Not only has that guy made fun of furloughed pilots, he's shown utter disgust for them, and implied that their ALPA negotiated, unlimited recall rights were totally worthless.

Yeah, you must be a different guy.

Isn't the Internet great? No accountability for anything, not even your own words

That's all right, General, we all know what a great guy you are. There's not a single egocentric, self serving bone in your body.

Yeah, whatever dude. I have only be pro-furloughed pilot----never made fun of any furloughees. I want you to search for me making fun of any of them, and try not to "touch it up" yourself. You will be looking for a LONG time. I had many friends who were furloughed after 9-11, and saw a lot of pain out there. Start your search NOW.

What does that have to do with these furloughed pilots? I like to debate, and it can get heated, but if you can't take it, then don't debate. I enjoy my job and have some strong opinions on things. I certainly don't make fun of furloughed pilots, though.

I noticed the alpa spokesman did not mention the change to age 65 as a reason for the furlough's.

thank you!!

Too much of this world rewards the mighty elite of its ranks and sh-ts on the bottom guy just trying to make a living.

 

[contrail67]

I think it said these were previously announced, right? These pilots did know about it, and this isn't a new announcement, right? Just getting the facts straight. Good luck to all of those involved.

Gen,

After 41 posts ....no one even attempted to answer your question....

Yes they all are from parking the 737's...and no this is not a new group than what was originally announced. Hopefully they get a 737 replacement that is not called an RJ....right now there is a gap from 70 seats(rj) to 140ish with the A320-319. I think there will be something fill that seat space.

Wow, nobody answered my post, oh well. I had an honest question and wanted to know if it was 290 ADDITIONAL furloughs on top of what was already announced. That's it.
