United asks pilots to take voluntary unpaid leave amid delivery delays of Boeing plan
 

Read this in a New York times article. Tried to post link but keep getting message I am unable to post that link, also some vids on you tube.

More shoes dropped than a centipede getting ready for bed.

Tedley: Here is a link. (I think you need 10 posts or something to be allowed to post a link. Maybe 20).

United Asks Pilots To Take Unpaid Leave Amid Delayed Boeing Plane Deliveries (msn.com)

I hope the pilots push back.

It’s not a unpaid leave. It’s a blank line. You can pick up and fly as much or little as you want from unassigned trips.

They offered this to 25 pilots. The pilot group is over 17,000 at United.

That should be easy. If the program is voluntary, just don't participate.

Depending on the time of year and bid status, these can go quite senior. I know at least one person who wanted one and wasn’t senior enough to get it.
