I have read the responses to the UAL pilots Tentative Agreement. As this is my first post I shall keep it short. Since when is the flight attendant union ever happy. I recall that they did not sign on board when the pilots took a 23.7% pay hit in the ESOP to keep things going at UAL. Nobody at other airlines complained in 2000 when the pilots had the industry leading contract. All the pilots whether active or retired are going to take a hit bigtime. The F/A's are not because they never had the big pension issue to begin with.. However I have never seen anyone on point in the 20yrs I have been with the firm other than the pilot group. I am wondering to paraphrase a movie line "Is the view better from the cheap seats." Jim I flew you.. The others When have UAL pilots sold out other groups. This TA has not been ratified.
