United to hire 1000+ this year

[chppr5]

Personally I like banding, but if it goes away later that's ok too. Important to consider the context of what was negotiated (what we have now). The sUAL 85 hires wanted the 744 in a single top category, and then wanted to leverage that into super seniority for themselves (boosting them above sCAL 83 hires). JP stopped that butt cold...

I think you give JP too much credit..banding was ALL about the SLI argument.

they may hire 1000+ but yet ill be getting displaced off the 737 in IAH--- makes great sense-- hiring 1000+ and all the retirements, and yet i may have to go to a lower paying fleet like the airbus to stay in houston-- yeah, things are great-- cmon over

You're too junior for the fleet/seat you want get over it. Or may I suggest SWA. All the Houston based 737 flying you can stand, and they even allow those stupid cowboy boots all the IAH guys like to wear.

Might be right. And I don't want to defend either one of those groups. But W hinted she'd deal on the rest of the list, if the 570s were winners (again) Fortunately no one went there.

All good....... water under the bridge now. Next contract will be better now that there are no sides.

You are right.

It's not personal, nor is it mgt helping the sUAL guys into a 737 left seat. This is what UAL mgt does. Get to the best spot you can get to, might find the bump to be a good thing

DEN TK is also more enjoyable, for those who like museums.

And muggings.

Am I the only one who read that as "muggles" at first?
