"The end of Seniority system as we know it"

I think it's just Aer Lingus planes being operated by U.S. pilots, non-UAL seniority list pilots to be specific, and non-Aer Lingus pilots, either, on flights sold by UAL, so I don't think it has another "brand" besides Aer Lingus, although most passengers probably thought they'd be on a UAL aircraft...

They were recruiting about 4-6 months ago for A330 crews. Evidently got enough qualified people to start operations.

 

[Yuppyguppy]

It's furloughed pilots from the Aer Lingus who will be doing the flying at much lower wages. A B scale in the making. Tilton and his goons are trying a New York Air Lorenzo tactic. All pilots whether you like or hate UAL must band together on this one to stop it or it will end my and your career prematurely.

unilingus from the cunning linguist.

Heard it was a merger with United, Jet Blue & a new airline called International Texas. Call sign........ U BLU IT

It's called what happens with a pilot group is so weakened by fear that all they know how to do is picket in front of a public that really doesn't care. Obama has appointed a very labor-friendly NMB. Someone's gettin' released this time around......

I think there is a good chance this is true. What happens with Spirit, and possibly AirTran, in short order, will help determine how quickly groups get to self help under this administration. If they go smoothly, quickly, with not much collateral damage, there will be more groups to get to self help.

Politically, I doubt Washington, despite campaign promises, has much stomach for major airline disruptions at the outset of the economic recovery. (Hope I'm wrong on this.)

 

[labbats]

Good point, but with all due respect to Spirit pilots it won't bring the country to a standstill. If it were a Legacy it would be different. With that said however, that could be an advantage where they will be allowed to be released and strike....

If you call going on strike an advantage. But given their management it seems the only road left.
