Highly, highly unlikely. UAL ALPA are VERY aware of the E3 and consider it a huge threat to US pilots. Whether rightly or wrongly and they’ll put the dues of a 16000 strong membership to use, to fight it. Considering we’re already not far from a strike vote over the delays with a new contract, UAL would be very stupid to push this and p!ss off the locals over something guaranteed to have them grabbing the pitchforks.
