at this rate-- we'll never get back---
maybe alpa can win one- but i highly doubt it-- it seems the company keeps exploiting the non negotiated "contract" and now the loopholes are presenting themselves-- woo ho0
they didnt even ask the furloughees if they wanted a job-- darnet
“The day after reporting one of its worst quarterly financial results in history and after furloughing an additional 254 pilots (bringing the total to 606 pilots), United Airlines announced today that it has entered into what it calls an “innovative” partnership with Aer Lingus.[/font]

[FONT='Arial', 'sans-serif']“Aer Lingus has advised the Irish press that this joint venture will operate an Aer Lingus aircraft with neither United nor Aer Lingus employees, under a separate operating certificate and under newly established wages and working conditions. Obviously, this partnership will be accomplished at the expense of United’s and Aer Lingus’ own pilots and other employees. This development, where United attempts to establish an airline operation without the use of United aircraft or employees, is nothing less than the outsourcing of jobs to an international company, and clearly demonstrates that this management continues to make business decisions without regard to its pilots and other employees.
